I bought a new graphics card that came in the mail today, a radeon HD 7770. Upon installing it I noticed that my monitor has a VGA cable and the graphics card doesnt not have a VGA slot. My monitor was supposed to come with an HDMI cable but for whatever reason it wasn't there. Oh well, I will buy a VGA to HDMI adapter later.
My question is how do I know the graphics card is even working without plugging my monitor into it? I plugged my VGA into the onboard graphics slot and it booted normally and I can use the computer, and when I use AMD's auto-detect driver it says it didn't find anything. Does this mean my card is defective, or I installed it wrong? OR is it because I didn't plug in the monitor?
Please answer with haste, thank you.
