I got my 2nd card today and plugged it in, turned on the computer, and...couldn't see anything.

Both cards are PCIe, 6600 (original) and 6700 (new) Radeon, different manufacturers, on a Windows 7 PC.

I tried moving the monitor cable between the two and still couldn't see anything. So, for now, the newer (and faster) card is back out and standing by.

Any suggestions?

Try swapping the cards PCIe slots. Move the monitor between the two until you find a screen that works. You'll probably have to uninstall and reinstall both drivers. Also, for some reason, you may lose your Internet connection through the process. But you should be able to get everything working.

Fixed.

I had to swap the cards between the PCIe slots, move the monitor cord between the two until a screen lit up, uninstall and reinstall the drivers for each...and for some reason, the internet connection wasn't recognized throughout any of this process.

But, everything's working now.
