Installing GPU and Driver Installation

ajitesh · Feb 18, 2014

It's my first time installing a GPU. I've recently bought the GALAXY GTX 760 and am not about the installation procedure. I know how to fit it in the slot and connect up the wires but is that it??? And after I'm done installing the GPU do I directly connect my monitor to the GPU first or I plug it into the Integrated Graphics on the Motherboard only.
Also do I install the drivers before or after installing the GPU?
Will I have to uninstall the old Intel HD 4000 drivers before I install the new Nvidia driver?
Please help me out as I'm a complete novice at this.

You put the graphics card in the PCIe x16 slot. If you need help, look at your motherboard manual. Here's a YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls). You'll want to plug your monitor directly into your Graphics card.

To install your drivers, go to NVidia's website and download the latest driver. No need to uninstall the old one.

Yeah you have fit in Pcie slot and connect 2×6pin pcie wires.
Connect monitor cable with Gpu's hdmi or dvi or whatever your cable is.
Now start your Pc
Uninstall your Intel HD graphics driver then install Nvidia's graphics driver

Alright, you first need to check that your power supply is good enough to support your gpu. (the GTX 760 needs atleast a 500watt power supply) You dont need to uninstall the Intel HD drivers. As for actually installing the gpu into your computer, here is a good video to show you how http://youtu.be/d_56kyib-Ls?t=38m47s

yes connect your monitor with gpu and boot up. After getting into operating system, you should install the latest gpu drivers from www.nvidia.com
Specify your pc configuration and number of drivers will be shown to you. Don't install beta drivers, just click on WHQL drivers for your gtx 760 and download them. After downloading, you have to extract them somewhere and then install your drivers. Reboot. You are good to go
