Re: Unable to recognize graphic card with pci-e x16> pci-e x1 riser

I purchased this cable from cablesaurus: https://cablesaurus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=10 and am unable to have my gpu recognized by windows. I have tried plugging it into the pci-e x16 and pci-e x1 slots and I get nothing.

Any help would be much appreciated.
