So I had gtx 560 and I wanted to change it to 980 I plugged it correctly (I hope) when I start up my computer I can hear the fans working but it uses the onboard graphics card instead. In the device manager I can see my graphics card but.there is a warning sign next to it. I doesnt say the proglem though. In dxdiag the display tab only says n/a. Hdmı is plugged to the card and I installed the driver (the cd didnt work for a reason it said I needed adminstrator rights but I already tried using "run as administrator" still the same problem so I downloaded it from the internet I am nit sure if it is right tho) can anybody help me? Thank you for your time

I'm a bit confused on this bit "but it uses the onboard graphics card instead". If you're using a videocard, whether it's the 560 or 980, the integrated graphics can't be used since the videocard is what is connected to the monitor. Your integrated graphics has nothing to do with this...or it shouldn't. Can you clarify what exactly is connected to what?
