altcoin and BTC work differently?
Logic behind 90% coins are the same but parameters are different.

make sure 4GB Decoding is Enabled on BIOs and check risers.

invest trade and gamble wisely
Can't help with all your questions but have some hints for you.
1st of all, as you are not going to mine BTC you should be asking in altcoin section ( move the topic here to get better support  ... to move topic use bottom left link )


...
Do i need to plug the display cable into the card and install the drivers or i should be doing via onboard VGA / Remote Desktop ?
Tried using onboard VGA after installing the 1st card on x16 but display wasn't being shown.

Yes, you do otherwise the GPU is not detected (and not only the cable, cable must be connected to display as well). Or you can use so called dummy plugs (buy them or make your own).

Hi Experts,

Im form india and bought the below config

MSI H270-A Pro Motherboard (LGA1151)
Intel G4400 3.30 GHz
4GB Hyperx DDR4 x 2
Sapphire Vega 64 8GB HBM2 x 6
Circle Gaming 1700w PSU
.

Problems Faced :

Post driver installation using single vega 64 things went smooth and after reboot the second card got detected too. However after installing the third card
one of the card's started losing power after Windows loaded and stopped running inspite the LED being on.
I Switched the risers and the PCI slots from x16 to x1 and similar problems kept arising with max 2 or 3 cards running and being displayed.
I even updated BIOS & tried turning on 4G support yet issue persists.
On one scenario i formatted the system completely and installed all 6 together but the display dint show up with sometimes 1 or 2 or 3 cards not spinning or with absent LED. Even though if 4-5 cards were spinning they weren't showing in Device manager.

Conclusion : I was able to get only 2 cards being displayed perfectly and in rare occasions 3.

Some research showed that i need to install 1 card at a time and load its driver and follow the same steps for rest cards + drivers. How will the second card ask for driver if i have already installed it once for the 1st card ??

Do i need to plug the display cable into the card and install the drivers or i should be doing via onboard VGA / Remote Desktop ?
Tried using onboard VGA after installing the 1st card on x16 but display wasn't being shown.

Also do i need to install 1 card after another and install driver or do i need to install the 2nd card card and install the drivers in the same x16 after removing the 1st card from its x16 (I know this sounds technically lame to ask but im highly frustrated).

The above installations are being carried out on Win 10 64bit. Tried on ethos 1.2.5 but it always thrown a HARDWARE ERROR : Graphic Driver DID NOT LOAD ! Does any1 has a link to download ETHOS 1.2.9 ?

Also does anybody has the above Motherboard mining setup to guide me ?

Kindly PM me on [email protected] if want to direct contact and guide me.

Any and every suggestion is highly appreciated.

Lastly any Indian / Mumbaikar living nearby borivali can help me over the phone / whtsap will be of great help !

Thank you all....
