Recently I got Intel DG9650T Motherboard!
And as bareboned this question may seem, I can't get my GTX260 to work!
With Windows 7 installed, not much drivers are avaliable for W7 (win xp only)
Should I downgrade to XP to maintain h/w compability?
I basically bought it for the GPU!
Thoughts?
 
Solution
Out of good ideas but I'll try to throw some ideas, You have likely tried some if not all of these already:

Is the 260GTX visible in device manager?

Are you using integrated GPU? (should be present since chipset is 965G)
if so, you could try switching it to PCI-E first (order of use) and switch monitor to connect to Nvidia card also.

This because due to random chance that using integrated chipset might (I don't know for sure) disable ANY extra GPU's)

I will explain more, sir!
I'm getting error with installing a driver (although I totally know how to install a driver from Nvidia :p)
Name of it - Simple Communications
GPU works, no doubt (not broken)
It's just cant be detected :(

Not visible!
That's interesting, since I remember that my mobo can switch on fly (according to BIOS, can try)
Maybe I could send you a screenshot of my BIOS, uh? Just to make a bit of sense here n there
