Hey guys! I finished building my PC but when I launch my PC, it says that I have the standard intel GPU (the one that your PC always has - even if you do not have a GPU). But anyway, I have a MSI GTX 970 4GB.. The cards LED light is lighting and the fans are moving.. How come it is not using the MSI one?

You need to plug in your monitor to your 970, not your motherboard.

Can you game on an 8-year-old i7? Is the 4-year-old GTX 660 still relevant? Upgrading the HP Pro 3500

Where does it say that?

 

Also try a game and check fps...you will pretty much know whether its using the 970 or not...

 

Or you could try afterburner and check GPU usage....

 

 

Where is your monitor connected to? mobo or GPU?

Please vote for Donald Trump. I am out of sitcoms to watch.

When lyfe gives you HDDs, make SSDs

Yeah. I was using the GTX 970 all a long. It was installing its drivers in the background. And I has the old afterburner as I installed it with the DVD and it said that I was using the microsoft display adapter.. 

It works now. :)
