Might have to read the instructions with the boards.
Normally I have to either uninstall the current adapter before I install the new adapter or at least install the drivers. Some brands are quite specific on how to get them to work, you just can't plug and play.
The bios plays a big part too. After you install the card like the instructions say you may have to switch the monitor to the onboard video. Then open bios and reset to the new video card then move the monitor back.
"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10
