I just set up a new ASRock Creator 2.0 with an AMD Threadripper Pro. Works fine EXCEPT that it can't seem to find/use either an NVIDIA QUADRO K4000 or QUADRO FX 3800. I know the FX 3800 works because it was working in this box before I upgraded the motherboard.

I've tried both cards in several PCIe slots with no luck. Only the motherboard's built-in 15-pin display output works.

Are these cards incompatible? Both are PCI Express 2.0 x16; shouldn't the PCIe4.0 slots support this? I was considering switching the built-in display adapter support off (it's set to AUTO now) to see if that would let it find one of these cards but that shouldn't be necessary. Thoughts?

Thanks.

I think I solved the problem. The manual suggests a single cared should go into the PCIE2 slot. I had tried this with no luck. In the BIOS settings I went to that slot and set the speed to Gen 2 and the card is now functioning. Now to see if there are Windows 11 drivers for this older card...
