GTX 560 TI drivers help!!

[TrueChocolateTaco]

Im trying to install the drivers for my newly installed gtx 560 ti but i cant find them/ cant tell which ones which. when i go to nvidia.com/drivers and search manually, there's so many options that i cant tell which ones the right one. when i click on auto-detect it says java require but even after installing java on my desktop it still ask for it.

On a side note this is my first time installing a GPU into a desktop but when i go to display adapter properties is says Chip type nvidia but the adapter string says "Microsoft basic display adapter". IS that normal? Is it supposed to say that before i download the drivers?

Help Please!!

I don't quite understand why you are having problems but ...

1. Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

2. Drop Down 1 = GeForce

3. Drop Down 2 = 500 series (560 starts w/ a 5 would be 500 serie

4. Drop Down 3 = Pick your OS

5. Drop Down 4 = Pick your language

6. Hit Search

7. Click the download button to install version 385.41 (395.25 MB)

Did you reboot after installing Java ?

GeForce Experience will download your driver sand pre-select optimum game settings

Id install GFE right after ... it will tell you when new drivers available and download them for you. And tho you may want to tweak them, having GFE set all the game settings as appropriate for your card in that game is a huge time saver.
