Installed another gpu (Nvidia 710) with intent to drive three screens for Ubuntu Host, and use existing gpu (Nvidia 1080) as a Windows Guest pass-through.

This machine does not have integrated graphics.

All three monitors get signal when plugged into only the 1080.

All three monitors show "No Signal" when plugged into only the 710.

For testing purposes, all three screens are plugged into both cards.

This configuration works as intended in Windows 10, and each card functions correctly by itself.

Checking what linux sees:

$ lspci | grep VGA

NVIDIA X Server Settings shows both cards, and each monitor is shown as a display device both cards.

GPU 0 - (GeForce GTX 1080)

Shows nominal GPU utilization fluctuating with system use.

Shows all three monitors.

GPU 1 (GeForce GT 710)

Shows no GPU utilization.

Shows all three monitors.

Both cards appear to be working, but I cannot get a display signal out of the second card. Both cards are known-good hardware, and I cannot move forward with the guest pass-through until I get this issue sorted out.

Looking for a way forward.
