HELP! No games are working!!

Alright, I just installed my graphics card (correctly, I hope) and I ran the driver install for it, so I thought I would be ready to start gaming. However, none of my games are starting. All Steam games 'stop working' as soon as I start them, and WoT in particular tells me ít failed to start because 'no appropriate hardware acceleration was available or was turned off'.
This is stressful, I don't know what the problem is. Can someone please help me?

Either to go AMD's driver site or Nvidia's driver site and download the latest driver for you gpu and make sure to restart after installing it. Also make sure your OS is updated as well. Also make sure your monitor is plugged into the gpu, not the ports on the motherboard.

Of course not! I may not be great at software, but I have common sense. Right now, it only seems to be my Dark Souls 2 that crashes, so it's not the graphics card's fault

I play on the Asia server. There's no dedicated server for Australia yet, so I play with around 150 ms :(

Yeah, but it's the best I'll get until they give Australia and NZ a dedicated server

Do you know when they will set it up?
