hello all, so here is my situation, iv installed my new gigabyte 2g graphics card and software. but when i try to open the software i get "please confirm the vga port"

my vga lead is plugged into the original vga slot, when i try it in the gpu slot i get no signal.

the fan is running on the new graphics card but performance stays the same.

the internal graphics is AMD,

im on windows 8, tryin to play skyrim, but het only 28fps which is the same as when i didnt have the new card installed.

please help
 
You get the same fps because you are still playing on the integrated graphics.

You likely need to go into bios and switch it to the external video card.

When you reboot with the monitor connected to the video port on the graphics card you get no signal on the monitor?
What card do you have, did you hook the power connectors up to it?
