RTX 2060 issue

[Elonn]

Hey guys I just finished building my PC and everything seems fine but looks like Its not using my graphics card for some reason

I did install the nvidia drivers

Also the nvidia control pannel option when you right click on desktop does not work.

I can see lights on my MSI 2060 inside my rig which means it is connected, also I do see it on Device manager under display adapters

Im using z370 asus prime II motherboard and i5-8600K

Edit: Im using a VGA monitor old version of ViewSonic but Im using a VGA to HDMI adapter to connect it to my PC (not sure if this might help)

Is there any chance that you have your monitor hooked up to your motherboard instead of a GPU?

@Elonn If this isn't your case, try messing with nvidia's software and prioritize your graphics performance to best

Err I actually think it might be since im using a VGA adapter to HDMI and then I have that plugged on IO shield how do I connect it to gpu?

 

Kinda newbie when it comes to those things

Yes it is plugged there is what I meant, but what do you mean connecting monitor to GPU? My monitor is VGA using a VGA to HDMI adapter that is connected to IO shield.

 

My GPU is installed if thats what youre asking since the fans spin and motherboard reads it

Oh I understood what you meant now, let me try again
