Once upon a time Andreas Vierengel shaped the electrons to say...

When swapping cards it's always a good idea to let the
BIOS know that you swapped the card.
That means:

power down
remove the card
power up without cards (BIOS is sufficient)
power down
insert the new card set.
power up


I don't know why but i had the same problems on my MSI
when i avoid the boot without cards.
I assume that the BIOS does not reinitialize the cards
because it thinks that this are the still same cards...

Too i had a nova that was still delivering artefacts:
I returned it to the vendor and got the money back.
