  One possible reason for GPUs not showing up in the task manager while mining digital currencies could be a driver issue. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your GPUs. You can visit the manufacturer's website or use a driver update tool to check for and install the latest drivers. Restart your computer after installing the drivers and check if the GPUs are now visible in the task manager.

  Another possible reason could be that the GPUs are not properly connected or seated in the motherboard. Check the physical connections of the GPUs and ensure they are securely plugged into the PCIe slots. If necessary, reseat the GPUs to ensure a proper connection. Restart your computer and check if the GPUs are now showing up in the task manager.

  If you are using the BYDFi platform for mining, it is possible that the GPUs are not being recognized due to a compatibility issue. Contact the BYDFi support team for assistance in troubleshooting the issue. They may be able to provide specific instructions or updates to resolve the problem.

  Sometimes, the task manager may not display the GPUs if they are being used exclusively for mining and not for any other graphical tasks. In such cases, you can use third-party monitoring software specifically designed for mining, such as MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z, to monitor the performance and temperature of your GPUs.

  Ensure that your mining software is properly configured to detect and utilize the GPUs. Check the settings of your mining software and make sure it is set to mine using the GPUs. Additionally, make sure that your mining software is compatible with the specific GPUs you are using.

  If none of the above solutions work, it is possible that there is a hardware issue with your GPUs. Try testing the GPUs on another computer or try using different GPUs on your current computer to see if the issue persists. If the GPUs still do not show up in the task manager, consider contacting the manufacturer for further assistance or consider seeking professional help to diagnose and fix the hardware issue.
