Hello. I recently built my first computer a few hours ago. Most of the computer runs just fine, fully booting, installing the OS, and running smoothly. However, I ran into a problem. Upon attempting to install GPU Tweak for my video card, it gave me the error "Please install VGA cards of ASUS." I have the Graphics card installed correctly with the connecters in the proper slot. But for some reason the GPU isn't being detected on any program. I am sure this won't be able to play any games which is a problem for me. I need to be able to play my games to the fullest extent possible to get the value I paid for.

Here are my system specifications:

AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing
Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 ATX FM2+
G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400
A-Data Premier Pro SP600 64GB 2.5" SSD (Operating System installed)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB DirectCU II
Rosewill BlackHawk ATX Mid Tower
Rosewill 1050W ATX12V / EPS12V
NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller

Is there something I can do in order to get my graphics card detected?

Using the motherboard graphics will force it to use the integrated graphics. Connect it to the graphics card and see if it changes anything. If it doesn't pop up with anything, you'll have to go into the bios and look for the setting to set it to detect the dedicated graphics first.

The monitor is plugged into the motherboard. I am not sure how to select the 270x in the bios that the gigabyte board came with. I tried to download the drivers manually, but I couldn't find them on the AMD site. I then tried to let AMD automatically detect my graphics in order to find drivers for them, but instead it detected the integrated graphics.

That worked. Thank you. I had to buy a DVI to VGA adapter, but it worked perfectly.
