I finally got it after about 10 hours... for whatever reason (I certainly didn't do this manually) one registry entry which was specifically meant to enable/disable driver installation was set to the wrong value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DeviceInstall\Parameters\DeviceInstallDisabled was set to 1 and setting it to 0 fixed it for me.

yes u can, though you might have to dig for drivers because the latest nvidia ones dont support 600 series anymore
if it runs on PCIE, you can use it
asuming you can find the drivers
i have used a GT9600 and ATi x550 in my recent builds (mostly to diagnose issues than long term usage)
those are OLD cards. (ATi isnt even a company anymore)
only if your CPU has onboard graphics (with a G suffix at the end of the model number, ie 3200G)
Hi, I'm planning on building a new PC soon and wanted to ask you guys about your opinion on buying CPUs and GPUs right now. So far I barely decided for any specific parts, but I'll just write down all the relevant characteristics. English is not my first language, sorry.
1. Budget & Location
About ~1100€ now (roughly the same as US$ excluding taxes I think). Possibly upgrading for additional 500€ (in addition to reselling proceeds of CPU/GPU) when Ryzen Zen-2 or RTX 30XX are released.
2. Aim
Mainly High FPS Gaming (according to a lot of YouTube CPU comparisons, the CPU performance becomes more important the higher the FPS is and the lower the graphics settings are).
I also don't want to turn off all the background applications for gaming like Discord. Possibly want to stream.
3. Monitors
1 monitor at 1080@240, possibly 1 additional one at 1080@60.
4. Peripherals
No.
5. Why are you upgrading?
I get too little FPS in most games (~<100) right now, I want to upgrade to 240Hz. Cost for the monitor is not included.
Build I have in mind:
PSU: 650W, high efficiency
RAM: 16 GB @ ~3200 Hz
MB: something suitable for upgrading, overclocking and including the best sound/network optimizations for gaming (not sure if this actually helps, but MB manufactures advertise it and it sounds good to have). So the MB doesn't have to be the cheapest thing.
GPU: used 1080ti (possibly buying a new one when next gens are released)
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 (possibly upgrading when next gens are released)
Hard drive: Keeping my SSD, getting a 2 TB HDD in addition.
The questions regarding CPU and GPU:
I want to buy/build a PC now because right now I have time for gaming. However, this doesn't seem to be a good time since the RTX cards seem to have pretty a pretty bad price-performance ratio and the Ryzen Zen-2 will be released in about 3 months and are expected to be a pretty big improvement. What do you think about buying this setup and possibly upgrading CPU/GPU later?
The CPU
The GPU
Also, any suggestions for the mainboard? What do you think about the setup as a whole? I was aiming for a pretty high end setup with a good price-performance ratio - do you think this is it?
