Hello guys, I have recently bought a new graphics card (NVIDIA GTX460) and I managed to install it onto the motherboard. The computer turns on and the fans spin on the card so I know it works. However, when I go into device manager the card is not there and when I downloaded the right drivers from the GeForce website, the installer won't recognize the card either.

Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 645
GPU: Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI
PSU: Corsair GS600
Motherboard: BIOSTAR N68S3+


 
Disable the card in device manager, Run driver cleaner, Reinstalled the drivers. Should work for you. Reset the card in the slot.
 


I can't disable the card in device manager because it isn't there in the first place, only thing that shows up in there is the on-board graphics. Also I don't appear to have a driver cleaner on the computer, is it something that you download separately?

 
Go into bios settings and change pcie onboard to off. You know what setting I am talking about when you see it.
 


I have disabled the on-board card and I took out and put back in the new card. The driver still does not recognize the new one.
 


No, I have been using this windows for quite some time now. Would say roughly a year.

 


Card is used. I don't think it's anything to do with the card though, since it actually switches on and works fine.
 
Just because the card powers on does not mean its good.
