So hello everyone. I bought a new computer over the weekend, an Acer Aspire ATC 280 EB 11, it already comes with a Radeon 7 graphics (I think its intergraded?) Anyways, what I've been trying to find out is, First, I bought a Geforce GTX 1050 (OC edition) to replace the Radeon 7, but I could not figure out how to connect it to get it to work. I know how to connect it to the graphics card slot inside the machine, but then when it came to the vga/dvi plugs, first the card didn't come with any, Then I noticed it has a minus (-) sign on the dvi outlet, and my older card, the GTX 750ti has the plus sign which can connect most all vga/dvi plugs. I've done some searching online and I can't seem to find any or many vga/dvi plus with a plus (+)? Do they not exists? Or are they new? Anyays, I just want to know if my GTX 750ti would be ok for my new PC?

Also, since it has the Radeon 7, how should I go about in installing, and downloading drivers if I can use the 750? Should I install the drivers first, then close the computer and install the card? Do I need to turn off the Radeon 7? My OS is Windows 10 btw. Hope my post isn't too confusing!

Sorry, but none of those are model numbers. At least, not ones that Google results recognizes.

Most likely you can simply use an adapter, which you'll need to purchase, to adapt your monitor input to a compatible input type on the GTX 1050. There is really no reason why you shouldn't be able to use that card with your monitor so long as you do so. In order to know WHAT adapter will be required, I need an accurate model number for both the GPU card and monitor, because neither/any of the numbers you posted brings up anything even remotely related to those hardwares.

Well, they're not. At least not according to Google.

Tell you what, take a picture of the end of your monitor cable so I can see how many pins and in what configuration they are, and post it here.

Same thing for the graphics card outputs on the 1080.

In order to help you, it's often necessary to SEE what's going on, in the event one of us can pick something out that seems out of place, or other indicators that just can't be communicated via a text only post. In these cases, posting an image of the HWinfo sensors or something else can be extremely helpful. Here's how:

How should I go about getting my 750ti installed? Like what are the proper steps? Download drivers first? Then close computer and install gpu? Then turn on? I don't have to worry about the radeon 7?

First, disconnect the power to the power supply unit from the wall, then install the card in the primary PCIe slot, the longest one that is closest to the CPU/processor. If there is already a graphics card in that slot, you'll need to remove it first, and should have done so way back in the beginning.

Next, attach the video cable from your monitor to the graphics card output. At this point there should not be any other video ouput connected to the motherboard outputs at all.

After locking the PCIe slot lock into the notch on the bottom of the graphics card and fastening the screw to hold it in place at the back of the case, you can then plug it back into power and start the system. If your GTX 750ti requires supplemental power from a 6 or 8 pin connector, make sure that's plugged in first before reconnecting power. See what happens.

Alright, well I got my 750ti in and its working so far, updated the driver to, but now I have another problem but its my webcam, was trying to download the logitech software from their website for my C525, when it started downloading it said I don't have enough memory which is BS! lol. I guess you can't help with that one though since it's a webcam issue now?

Sounds like your machine likely came with a borked Windows installation, which is not surprising on a prebuilt system. Often they come with so much bloatware installed that it's a wonder anything works at all. Before going any further you might want to seriously consider doing a clean install of Windows 10 so that you know you are working with a clean, solid installation, with no preinstalled BS.

We literally see systems, all the time, brand new, that will barely run at ALL because there is so much preinstalled "optimization" and bloatware crap on these systems that it's impossible to get anything to work right.

Anyhow, that's your call. If it were MY system, I'd absolutely do a clean install of Windows before doing a single other thing. If you wish to do so, then you can find instructions here.
