Hello... I have a GTX 760 and Windows 7 too... I find that I have to use the First DVI connector as the "Primary output" on it... the HDMI output only works when adding secondary monitors to it B / and thus would suggest trying a DVI cable or a "passive" DVI to HDMI cable adaptor to your Monitor as a Test.

What type of connection/cable, Video card port, monitor did you use before the New monitor? B /

Hello... "VGA" connector?

What I've seen is you have to use the main DVI connector First for access... it is "programmed?" to always displays there first or be the "Primary" display output connector, you need to plug into that one. B /

All you need to do is pick up a "Low Cost" male DVI to female HDMI "passive" adaptor as a "simple test" and should get your 'New" monitor working with the GTX760. They should be a common item to find locally if you check around. B /

Hello... Yes I know... I looked B )... You will connect the DVI adaptor to the first DVI port on the Video Card... and then connect the HDMI cable to the adaptor and to the monitor... Done ...DVI and HDMI carry the same digital video signals to a Monitor. B )

Hello... Yes... Like I said it is a common part at most retail/computer/electronics/audio visual stores in your Area... There are different genders of them... so make sure it is a "male (pins) DVI to female (socket) HDMI" for your connection needs B )
