Ok so I have bought the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC edition and I was wondering how to install the drivers like do I install the driver BEFORE putting the card in my motherboard or do I first put t in my motherboard then install? Oh and how do i switch from my integrated graphics to the GPU thank you for your help. One more thing if i have to install the drivers AFTER I have i have plugged it in my motherboard, where do I put my vga cable in the gpu or computer because Im running integrated graphics and once installed drivers do i change vga to the gpu card? thank you from the past (im a noob at computers)

First of All , In order to switch back and fourth between the Integrated GC and the 750ti you need to go to the bios and select which one you want. So What you need to do is to put your 750ti in the motherboard and choose to use the integrated GPU as your primary GC , then in windows go to nvidia's website and download the latest drivers for your card then install them afterwards go to the bios again ( after restarting ) and choose the 750ti as your primary GC and thats it.

no no, fortunately you don't have to go through all that trouble :) . You can just pop the graphics card in and windows will just temporarily install a basic display driver until you install the nvidia driver.

It should be automatic, since you won't have a display connected to the igpu, the igpu will be auto disabled.

You need to press a key during the boot process, for my motherboard I hit 'DEL' but it's often one of the 'F' keys.

Depending on the motherboard you may also be able to access the bios once you have booted up. What motherboard do you have?
