When was the last time you tried to buy a graphics card?  You can't find them, you think my first move was to buy an open box card from a store.  If they had brand new in box cards that were able to mine Ethereum I would of bought those.  Any of the new generation cards are being sold second hand new in box for over retail price.  They will give me an extended warranty on an open box card, go right ahead.

At microcenter they send the open box stuff out for testing before they put it up for sale.  There were no other cards to buy, I would of bought brand new if I could.  They'll even sell me an extended warranty on it, so I don't care.  I ended up getting an open box evga 2080 ti kingpin, got the rig up and running yesterday.  Thank you again for the help

I didn't clarify, it was a open box from microcenter.  Sorry I didn't mention that part.

Also let me add, I would run nvidia experience to update the drivers, it would download, install restart and when I opened nvidia experience to verify the install it said it needed the driver.  None of this happened when I put in my older msi card.

After a few pain staking hours, I think the card is no good.  I just bought it open box from a store, but was old they have the cards sent out for testing to make sure its good.  So I got the issue with the onboard graphics straightened out, but the card would not be seen by afterburner no matter what I did, I ran out got a hdmi to dvi adapter.  It would display through the card but I would get dotted green lines when it got into windows.  I swapped out the card for my older msi card and had none of those issues and msi afterburner was able to see the card.  I'm gonna safely guess at this point the card is no good.

Like the title says, I just built a new rig.  I only got 1 msi 2070 super.  I updated the drivers from nvidia, but afterburner doesn't see the card. I go to the device manager and its listed but it has the little triangle error symbol and says windows won't let it run due to an error.  I'm using the onboard graphics for the monitor not the video card.  Any help on what I'm doing wrong or missing.  Thank you in advance.
