Hey guys so i have a very old computer and i decided to buy a better video card.
Motherboard: Sapphire PE-AM2RS740G
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 245
Old GPU: Ati radeon HD 4670
4gb dd2 ram
Anyways i decided to buy ASUS GeForce® GT 730, 2GB GDDR5
So i removed the ol GPU driver, opened the case and removed the old video card, inserted the new,
plugged the monitor vga(blue) cable into the video card and started the computer.
First of all i downloaded geforce extreme program,downloaded the drivers, restarted and nothing happened,
on device manager all i can see is the graphic adapter( i take it this is the integrated video card).
i tried to install all kinds of nvdia driver version (old newet, veri old, to no avail) Its like i don't
have a video card. Starting Nvidia control panel just crashes...
I download Aida64 and checked if it can see the new video card and it sees it. however on device manager i
have one unknown device and i simply dont see the damn card on it.....
Now my question is, is this card even going to work for this old rig so i can know if i shoud return it.
I tried to mess with the BIOS and disabled the native graphic adapter(integrated) but no the computer simply wont
read this card....
Also the vga cable is in the new video card, does this mean the card works?
