Mobo is a H77 Pro, I'm on Windows 7 64 bit fully updated with a 650watt Corsair PSU.
So a friend of mine sent me two used (working at the time he shipped) Gigabyte 560s in hopes that I could SLI them, unfortunately my mobo doesn't support that.
Anyways, I decided to just hook up one of them.
I uninstalled the drivers for my 470, shut down, and plugged in the 560. Two PCI-E 6 pins, just like normal, correctly seated, everything good.
I plugged in the DVI cord to the card, booted, and go a "no signal". Ok, weird. Plugged it into my onboard video and booted fine.
Went to install the drivers and got an error that said "compatible hardware not found".
It should be noted I had the exact same issue with both cards which seems strange considering they were both working at the time of shipping. They were also both packaged very safely and there were no signs of damage to the box.
Also, after re-installing old drivers and my old card, everything works perfectly normal.
These are the drivers I tried:
