Thank you for all the feedback. After trying it on another rig, I wend ahead and powered it up as the primary card and was able to get a video signal using windows generic driver. In the device manager it was not recognized and after a reboot and confirmed all connections were secure, I went ahead and plugged up a working gpu it recognized it as well as the rest of the gpus on that rig. I come to conclusion that this card needs to be rma'd seems like.
