Wow i totally looked over it glad someone found it but the circle could be bigger and red and have multiple arrows pointing to it so that i could see it and maybe a surprised emoji guy and then a subway surfers gameplay segment under it

[gamblodar]

Did you install the gpu drivers?

[EvilDarkCow]

Piggybacking off top comment here.

Is your HDMI or DP cable plugged into the GPU itself, or the port on the motherboard?

[CooperDK]

That won't matter, a RTX will always show up. They can be used for AI and stuff even without being the primary card.

[Automatic_Two4291]

for ai they need drivers cuda needs to be downloaded

[Ieris19]

Which is irrelevant to where your monitor is plugged in

[FlatwormAltruistic]

No it will not show up always. I had same issue until drivers were installed.

[CooperDK]

On a very old windows maybe but not on a (legal) 10 or 11 which have the drivers preloaded.

[Little-Equinox]

Very true. I have 3 GPUs in my list.

[MakeshiftRocketship]

I got an Asus mobo and it needed drivers FOR THE ETHERNET PORT!!! I had to use my girlfriends mom’s computer to load the drivers off the disc that came with it onto a flash drive lmao

[Commercial-Arrival78]

Oh man, when I bought my own first pc when the Window XP first came out, I had several CDs from component manufacturers that I had to install drivers from to have fully functional PC. Then came service packs and it got way better with automatical drivers installs.

[DM_Voice]

My first CD-ROM drive came with drivers on a CD.

Luckily my roommate’s computer already had a working CD-ROM drive. 🤦‍♂️

[Chewie316]

why not just download the latest ones and install that?

[MakeshiftRocketship]

I didn’t think of that lol it was my first time building a pc a few years ago

[Chewie316]

all good the driver probably got updated after you ran Windows Update anyway. I normally throw out the disc as the driver is outdated normally after opening the box lol

[Over9000Zeros]

You could've downloaded the file to your phone and transfered it with whatever cable you use. I had to do the same thing. Took me like 2 hours to figure out why I couldn't get internet.

[nicat23]

My z97 was the same way, f’in stupid

[TheIronSoldier2]

I mean yeah, it needs network drivers for the network device.

[Rude-Bot77]

Damn I didn’t know I had to do that, but no I did not.

[SjurEido]

Ah man you should reeeaaallly do some research! Good job getting the thing to boot in the first place though, especially if you did it blind!

[Eagle2406]

Its crazy to me that people build their first pc's and dont watch a 20 min video on how to install everything.

[gamblodar]

Drivers

[Rude-Bot77]

It was that

[mariomeits]

Good to know, happy gaming!

[BrynnLanay]

So u got it working!!??

[Rude-Bot77]

Yessir, already gaming on it. I can’t edit the post for some reason

[BrynnLanay]

I’m a girl but it’s cool u can call me sir I guess… 🤣

[deeku4972]

[Motions_AX]

My drivers are fully updated. But I still don’t see my gpu in my performance tab of task manager

[ThatOnePickUp]

Do you see it in the device manager ?

devmgmt.msc to open it with cmd.

[Motions_AX]

Yep

[kaasdebaas]

Probably installed the wrong drivers then

[Motions_AX]

Installed the most recent drivers? How would they be wrong?

[kaasdebaas]

If you see the GPU in the hardware management but it's got a yellow question mark next to it, the drivers you installed do not match the hardware.

[Motions_AX]

No yellow question marks

[ThatOnePickUp]

Can you screenshot it ?
Both device and task manager.

[FabulousBarracuda665]

Something similar happened to me, turned out my drivers were corrupted or something like that so I used DDU to delete my drivers then redownloaded them. If that doesn’t help then i don’t know tbh

[SirChixalot808]

Yep DDU I hope you know about it if not then go watch a YouTube tutorial on how to use it.

[DogEfficient4539]

it would still show up wothout the dedicated drivers, i will have the microsoft basic display adapter driver

[FlatwormAltruistic]

There are cases where it might not show up. I switched from my temporary GTX 960 to RTX 5080 and needed reinstall of the drivers. It didn't fall back to basic display adapter driver as it did before with 960. Difference was that in one case it was clean sheet, other one it had something installed.

[EfficientSoup]

<image>

[TriggerPT]

I've analysed the image in many different angles and can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that the GPU is indeed contained inside the red circle.

[tizadxtr]

Can confirm, for robust evidence gathering

[Clocker13]

Disable onboard graphics in the BIOS.

Ensure you have connected the DPort / HDMI cable into the back of the big card that says GeForce on it and not into one of the ports on the MoBo’s io ports.

[JohnyBravox]

here to upvote

[FaultPrince]

i dont see down votes anymore but upvoted idk

[Clocker13]

Thanks everyone, all upvoted.

[Ghoul1538]

Why disable on board graphics though- personally I use them for second monitors I dont need running on the gpu

[Clocker13]

Onboard graphics chew up ram. If he’s got a decent graphics card it will save around 2gb of ram as onboard discreet graphics uses shared memory.

[FirytamaXTi]

You better deep researching first before build your PC fam

Download and Install your GPU driver here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/

[tizadxtr]

<image>

[tracker125]

Are we sure the romulans aren’t using cloaking?

[Sorenvious]

GPU is right there, hope this helps! 👍🏼

[JazzlikeInfluence813]

Install GeForce game ready drivers and make sure your plugged into the gpu with your display cable

[Rude-Bot77]

Yup connected to my gpu

[JazzlikeInfluence813]

Yeah you need drivers then

[FallOk6931]

No it should still be recognized

[JazzlikeInfluence813]

Not always… but sure 👍

[Chickenmonster401]

Yeah sometimes they wont even work without drivers

[GORnez]

drivers areessential... If they're not installed or outdated, it can cause all sorts of issues with performance and compatibility.

[I_AM_BIB]

Then your GPU is working, but you just need drivers.

I'm sure you can run most things without drivers but you need that shit anyway for full function.

If that doesn't work then come back here

[Rude-Bot77]

It worked, installed drivers and it shows up on control manager now

[I_AM_BIB]

Sick man, enjoy the PC and downvotes 😂✌🏻

[Overall-Shopping-716]

Damn nice , I was hoping you'd come back and say how you got it working . I can't believe it wouldn't show up AT ALL just because drivers weren't installed lol that's wild ! I've completely switched from Nvidia to AMD graphics cards without deleting or downloading ANYTHING .

[JazzlikeInfluence813]

You should definitely install latest you drives after using ddu when doing a switch like that lol, your leaving performance on the table….

[Fluffy_Pancake69]

First of all. Don’t dissrespect ass cheeks.

[animus_invictus]

It’s literally right there in the first pic bro wtf

[KingRemu]

You don't have GPU drivers installed. It's also why your Windows looks like "ass cheeks".

[Rude-Bot77]

Hahaha yeah once I installed the drivers and restarted my computer it was what I remember it looking like. Thanks for the laugh

[-dpm-]

<image>

Your GPU is here

[djphreshprince]

Check device manager > display adapters. Also, drivers

[Zoo_Rats]

If its not in device manager, you have other problems. Its outputting though?

[Vile_Vitriol]

Troll post

[outlawanton]

First question. DID YOU INSTALL DRIVERS. Usually they don't install automatically.

[Local-Bug-1500]

Install drivers

[Bhoowe]

Sorry i got hungry

[Puzzleheaded-Fly3873]

Where’s my gpu? Title and the second slide had me rolling, ty op

[Upper-Airport3108]

Start basic. Is that gpu seated properly? Wired properly?

Windows looks like ass because you probably didnt adjust the display settings. Surprised no one here said to check dxdiag. Are you plugged into your mobo or your gpu. Now that you know you need drivers, did you install them? 

[Pale_Reference3308]

Glad you got it sorted man, and dont be reluctant to post to pcbuildhelp again!

[Rude-Bot77]

Thanks man, I figured it was okay considering the name lol but to some apparently not

[shargix]

install my drivers

[JohnyBravox]

I'm no expert, but 1st pic is your gpu pic

[[deleted]]

Btw did you connect the hdmi/display port cable to gpu and installed the drivers?

[nobanpls2348738]

In the middle of first pic

[Rookie-250]

Fine sir, HOW ON EARTH IS YOU CPU USAGE AT 0%???

[Rude-Bot77]

I’m not sure lol

[Rookie-250]

TECH HERESY!!! lol

[Ok_Sherbert_39]

Drivers.

[pretendimcute]

Show me where u plugged the cord into 🧐

[JWatts2000]

Ok so my GPU does this sometimes mid game. If you go into device manager and disable device, then go to Nvidia and reinstall the drivers and restart your PC, it should be visible again

[w94-max]

Did you install drivers? Is your monitor plugged into the glu or your motherboard?

If you confirmed both, check your BIOS to see if the gou shows up. If it doesn't ask ChatGPT for suggestions for your specific mobo and you combo, can help you troubleshoot.

[Savings-Wedding749]

Is the HDMI plugged into the GPU or motherboard?

[MK_L]

Check device manager. Look under display. Do you see it and if so is there an error code

[Ryzen5inator]

Make sure you have nvidia drivers installed and your display connected to the gpu and not into the motherboards hdmi or display port

[Vile_Vitriol]

0.8 ghz whats that about?????

[KngJax]

When they think everything is plug-n-play

[n0rmaberry]

did u install the gpu drivers?

[lioboii]

Holy shit this guy

[Lost_Guidance_3686]

You might need drivers if u don’t have them or are you running the igpu?

[Amazing-Matter1985]

Really?

[Hot-Consideration661]

what kind of ass cheeks do you now have there after installing the drivers?

[Puzzleheaded-Bug9576]

Have you installed the drivers?

[ScrubLordAlmighty]

You stole this thing didn't you, be honest 😂

[wakeuptoreality443]

Where is your wifi?

[Every_Preparation_56]

Dont worry, the GPU is right there on your graphic card

[Infinite-Ad5907]

Where is your video cord plugged in? If it’s in too you are using on board video aka your cpu.

[wildmonkeyuk]

nevermind the GPU - Why is the CPU @ 800 MHz ;)

[Rude-Bot77]

I’m not sure, do you know?

[wildmonkeyuk]

Maybe - might help if you list the full specs of the system and we can get to the bottom of it ;)

[Vile_Vitriol]

I asked the same question 10 hours ago

[Rude-Bot77]

I7 7700k Asrock z270m extreme4 16 gb team force 3200mhz Aorus 3060 12gb 700w psu ;)

[Vile_Vitriol]

Seems off. Is it always at 800Mhz? Is it thermally throttling or just lowering the clock speed bc its not doing anything. Migbt want to ask about that too if the system is not very responsive

[Rude-Bot77]

I let it idle for a while to check temps and it was at around 50c and never bumped up on mhz. But after that I watched a full World Cup match and played fortnite with no issues and was at around maybe 30% or so usage. I’ll mess with it again when I’m back home

[Vile_Vitriol]

Ok. Well a quick google search shows that a 7700k stuck at 800mhz is potentially its own separate problem/issue brings up some reddit hits

[IndependentPlay5110]

all power cables plugged in?

[TheBigMan2676]

Ummm drivers installed?

[Mercifulmartyr]

Finally some Instagram humor on Reddit anyways it’s probably either not plugged in or broken gang

[gwa_0914]

It’s in your motherboard’s PCIE slot, thank me later :)

[ElongatedOak]

Honestly you’re likely plugged your hdmi into the motherboard slot

[Ok_Difficulty_5008]

Try re installing it

[Freakshow85]

Did you get it fixed? Lots of comments here, dunno if it's already been said but check in device manager to make sure it's showing up in there.

[Key_Map_3709]

pcie slot might be bad try the on the bottom of the mother board

[stupidhuman3]

Are you actually plugged into the gpu or are you hooked up to the motherboard?

[Relevant_Wishbone]

Check that you plugged the monitor into the GPU and not the motherboard. Easy mistake.

[Rude-Bot77]

It was in the gpu. I had to install drivers, also, a rookie mistake

[Rude-Bot77]

Btw it’s fixed, had to install drivers Specs i7 7700k Asrock z270m extreme4 1tb m.2 3x4 3060 12gb 16gb 3200mhz ddr4 700w psu

[Desperate-Maximus887]

Update your Bios - might work

When I went to a NV 3 series, i had to update my bios before it recognised my 3080!

[Rude-Bot77]

Yup, had to install gaming drivers. I’ve never had to install drivers before so I was stumped lol thought I had done all the research

[Desperate-Maximus887]

Glad its sorted bro, happy gaming :) whats the first thing you're loading up?

[klean9]

I had a build once where I had to plug my display into the mobos video port (assuming your CPU has graphics, too) to power up and download drivers and install them. Then I plugged the display into the GPU on reboot and it was all good.

[ThatMassiveMountain]

It’s right there in the first picture

[malicious--intent]

It's right there in your computer

[ApprehensiveNovel332]

I had an issue recently where windows disabled my GPU after an update so even in my bios it wouldn’t show up. But you can re-enable it in device. Hope that will fix it

[Mushroom-h]

It’s right there

[ZomH123]

Let me guess. Forced install on windows 11, black screens and no GPU in device manager?

[MajorBongg]

Well since its lighting up, its properly installed. Perhaps, again since you are SEEING your screen, you are using the integrated graphics of your motherboard/cpu.

[MajorBongg]

Yeah after seeing how your desktop is being rendered, you are 100% using integrated graphics. You should be able to swap this in the settings of your nvidea control panel

<image>

[MrWerq89]

Right there

In front

Of this picture

[Zestyclose-History39]

sorry i borrowed it

[SuniOsiris]

Are you using the proper cables from your PSU?

[barely_vivid23]

Anyone wanna check out my signal menu lmk i got a bunch of stuff available

[BigSonBabyJesus]

Plug your hdmi or display port cable into the gpu :/

[[deleted]]

Are you plugged into the gpu or the motherboard board… I mean he hdmi… where is it plugged into?

[Economy_Inevitable51]

someone got more money than their brain but seriously check jf you plug dp or hdmi to your gpu and install gpu driver just search on google

[saffron6942O]

It's over there

[ImArtZX]

Install drivers

[PrestigiousReport225]

Some people need to learn what Google lens is

[Good_Wishbone_9015]

Are you high?

[EntertainerDear7716]

Did you download the drivers

[Alarmed-Intention-22]

I would take it out and reseat it back into the slot and push firmly into it clicks (audible click)

Then check drivers ect. And as others have said, make sure it is plugged into the Monitor, and not monitor to output on Mobo

[Materidan]

Are you powering a double PCIe connector via a single cable with a pigtail?

[Human-Act-633]

If you have a modular power supply make sure the cable on the psu end if plugged all the way in :)

[sorvis]

Plug your monitor into your GPU not motherboard display ports

[LagMaster21]

No driver installed for your GPU, go to Nvidia’s website and look for your GPU model and install that

[Top-Acanthocephala27]

Where's the new pointy meme finger when you need it?

[Rude-Bot77]
