Hi, my graphics card (brand new) is a GTX770 2GB but it isnt being detected by my system, ive tried updating the drivers but this resulted in the message that the drivers arent compatiable with anything in my build. But my monitor is connected via the gpu so i assume that it isnt a dud, if anyone has any way i fix the detect issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you actually looked at your build and seen if the graphics card can support what's in it?

I used an online compatibility checker and my build is all compatible, so any ideas?

that's sorta vague...

1) your monitor is plugged into the gpu not the motherboard io pannel right?
2) what is your system? (motherboard/cpu/psu)
3) which gtx 770 did you get?
4) when you say you tried to install the drivers what specifically did you do?

lots of things could be going on, some things fixable, some not... we'll need more info to know which it is.

Did you first uninstall any old drivers from another card and clean them out?

1) Thats correct.

2) It consists of the following:
Intel Core i5 4670K
Seagate 2TB Internal SATA Drive
Corsair 600 Watt Bronze Power Supply
Asus GTX 770 2GB
Asus H87-PRO
16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance 1866
Cool Master HAF X Case

3) Asus GTX 770 Nvidia GeForce DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5

4) I used the CD that came with it

ok.

uninstall anything to do with nvidia... anything and everything. if you had an amd/ati graphic card uninstall those drivers/software as well.
reboot your pc
hit f8 while your computer is loading to get the advanced boot menu
load into safe mode with networking.
go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=en-us
let it automatically detect your hardware and drivers

IF it spits an error at you

go here, and manually select your hardware and os
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=en-uswww....

download and install.

If it still throws an error at you try to CLR_CMOS your mb bios. Sometimes that actually fixes this type of issue (weird i know, but it used to work for me with an old GTX 9800)
