Morning all, I currently have:

Ryzen 2700
Asus Strix R9 380
MSI x470 gaming plus

I currently use all four outputs on the 380. I have a HD 5450 lying around and was intrigued in to testing a 5th and 6th monitor.

Installing the 5450 in PCI-E slot 2, the fan spins up, the 380 works as normal, but there is no output ot pickup within windows. Device manager doesn't see it, and installing the 5450 drivers does not pickup.

The Bios options for PCI merely have the changes for x16 to 4x4x4x4 for when the 2nd M2 slot is being used.

The 5450 is PCI gen 2 and the 380 is gen 3.

This level of info is over my head. Am I being thick and its obviously that the 5450 can not be used, or is there something that physically is not allowed, or is there a setting somewhere.

Intrigued. Many thanks
