my system -cpu i5 4670k, ram 4gbx2 dual channel corsair 1600Mz, motherboard gigabyte z87x-ud3h.(bios f9)
i recently bought my new graphics card zotac geforce gtx 1050ti 4 gb gddr5 mini (before it i was using my PC without any graphics card). now i cant see any information about my graphics card in bios( even not it's name). but my bios shows clock speed,temp, fan speed etc about my cpu and ram. i use Hwinfo software and there's no information in it regarding my graphics card as well. is something wrong here?

Can you post a screenshot of your HwInfo like this

? The card's info should be near the bottom.

. You click on the gear symbol(settings) and then click on Monitoring tab. Click the resource you want to monitor and then click on Show in OSD near the bottom of that window.

if i may ask that why bios dose not show anything about graphics card ?
 


Something way over my head about how PC's communicate. There's a direct line of communication to the CPU. The GFX card is connected to the PCIe slot. A Basic Input Out System can only do so much. Let's assume you didn't have that GFX card in there. The BIOS could then utilize the integrated GPU. It has Intel's HD Graphics 4600. Not horrible as integrated GPUs go. It can probably play 90% of the games on the market. At that point you could go into your BIOS and see your GPU's info. You could also set your GPU's max frequency, to a point. Overclocking the integrated GPU needs to be done with care and only the informed consumer should try that.
