OMEN by HP GA1 Accelerator does not activate nvidia GTX 1080 Ti

[brunocgarcia]

I bought a OMEN by HP GA1 Accelerator, then I bought a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti graphics card to work on my laptop OMEN by HP 17 laptop. But the accelerator`s source seems not to handle the Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, eventhough in the sponsoring website it is informed that it is supported the Nvidia graphics card, also I cannot connect all the cables in the graphics card, there are entrances missing. So should I buy another computer source for the accelerator, or there is something wrong with the process I described?

Welcome to our humble abode, the family and tech-friendly house of HP Forums!

I'll be your host for the day, they call me the Riddle_Decipher.

Have you ensured the graphics card of your preference is selected or if it's set to auto-switch?

If you want to select the NVIDIA, here's what you need to do:

Select OMEN Accelerator or My PC to change the graphics card currently in use.

When switching between cards, the following warning message is displayed: Switching your graphics card might cause open apps to crash.

Click Continue to make the switch effective, or click Cancel to return to the previous screen without switching. This warning message displays every time you manually switch the graphics card unless you select Don’t remind me again.

And your device is up and running again, only in case you don't get back to us, first!

I did everything on the post, but an error kept. Whenever I try to restart the computer: "Power down and connect all the Pcie's cables remaining". But the cables I didn`t connect where because there is no place to connect them, at least with the source.

I read everything and found a way to solve it, just connect the cables from the source directly and not using the cables that came with the graphics card to connect, thanks for all the effort helping me, and I am sorry for not having the experience with graphics card or eletronics.
