Bought the above card, now trying to install it. Seems to be a catch 22 situation. I have a M90 Lenovo SFF running Win10 64bit hence the reason the choice as advised on another forum, whose moderators quite frankly are oxygen thieves.
1. New card only fits when only HDMI & DVI sockets are fitted, great, job done.
2. Try to install drivers, can't do that cos card not installed in machine.
3. Install card in machine via HDMI, nothing shows on monitor so dont know if drivers are installing.
4. revert back to old card uninstall all remnants of NVIDIA so now only using basic MS driver.
5. Try to install new card again, & we're back to step 3.
6. try to boot up machine using onboard graphics (by altering BIOS), will only use old graphics card.
Conclusion:
Can't install new card cos monitor wont work without drivers, put old back in & can't install drivers for new card. ***
As mentioned I'm a relative noob to this, so is there something really simple I'm taking for granted & missing?
