Hello,

I just built my first PC in 5 years and I'm super pumped. I'm having the problem where my bios isn't recognizing my GTX 980 Ti. I was a bit confused because the card powered up just fine, I re-seated it in another slot, made sure all the power pins were secure, updated my bios to the latest, etc. I loaded up Windows 10, and updated the drivers, and Windows detected it right away, as does HWiNFO! I got the temps, speeds, voltage, everything. I fired up a The Division and it played gloriously, ran some benchmarks with outstanding results. Yet.... my bios still doesn't recognize the card. Either does MSI afterburner for that matter. What is going on here, should I be worried?

Any help would be great, thanks! :??:

The only thing in BIOS/UEFI is to select pci-e/integrated graphics.

Nothing at all to worry about.

I had sn Asus board many years back that wouldn't display at boot, only displayed when the OS was loading, everything was hooked up correctly and settings were correct ... Point is, even like that the system ran fine, still in use in fact.
