Hi all. Just built my new pc and I'm having trouble with my gpu. It lights up and the fans are running but I downloaded the Nvidia control panel and it says "you are not currently using a display attached to an Nvidia gpu" What do I do? My parts are (i7700k, gtx 1080, asus strix z270 mobo) any help is appreciated

there is your problem you pluged it into the motherboard and activated the intel graphics on the procesor. you have to have it pluged into the gpu for to work properly.

when u plug the graphic cable, u see that there's 2 ports that looks the same in different location right? (1 of the is vertical and the other 1 is horizontal) well right now u're probably plugging ur cable to the vertical one (the one on the upper part of PC), which is the mobo port, what u should've do is to plug it on the other port (the GPU port) else the graphic card that ur PC use will be the integrated one, not the discrete one

edit: of course the GPU is running, whether u connect the cable or not, when ur PC turned on, ur GPU will get power too so they will work even when u didn't plug ur graphic cable to it
