First ensure your Display is plugged into the GTS 450; once inside Windows install the latest NVIDIA Drivers for your GPU & OS

yet the monitor never picks it up

Have you installed the nvidia driver? It may be also worth checking it is showing in "device manager" under "display adapters".
Heart <3 2014 年 11 月 17 日 下午 11:34 
someone told me to try to install the nivida drivers before putting the card in and see if it works that way but im scared that the ati drivers will conflict with the nivida ones since windows 8 automaticly disables the intgrated gpu but the ati programs still run on startup not used to doing grapics on 8 i know the procedures on going from intgrated to dedicated but 8 its just completely wierd i got it to work once on 8 each time i wanted to use it i would have to wait till 8 boots up then i unplug and replug in and the login screen would pop up but then 2 display adapters appeard for some games gts 450 or the windows display adapter...witch made me wonder is it really useing the gpu or just the windows display adapter

So u had an ATI/AMD Radeon before installing the NVIDIA GTS 450?
U didn't speak of that in your OP.

As for the Intel; if your motherboard/CPU has that and you connect your Display in the Motherboard's video output I/O; then it will use the Intel GPU.

You can't install the NVIDIA Drivers first; cause without a device present, they will fail to install.


Firstly to avoid any issues; ensure to physically remove any AMD or NVIDIA GPU from the system.

Then go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Look for AMD Catalyst and NVIDIA Forceware; if either of those are present, uninstall them first. Follow the steps. Reboot/Restart when asked.

Once those drivers are removed then can proceed to install the GTS 450 GPU Card.

Once a physical GPU card is installed, ensure to connect your Display to said card before powering the system back on again.

so basicly the ati programs are preventing the card to be detected witch would explain why the monitor would not react on startup i did do this once uninstalling the catalyst install manager and tryed to put in the card it worked but as i said before i had to unplug and replug in for the monitor to detect the gpu then i installed the drivers after 4-5 minutes the display came back and the pc reconized the gpu so i figured at first everything worked fine but when i booted back up my utility programs detected windows display drivers not the gts 450 yet i could still play games as normal dispite what speccy and ccleaner said witch led to my confusion is it useing the gpu or the display drivers from microsoft..

Programs like CCleaner and Speccy will say whatever the 1st GPU is; so if u have both "Intel HD GPU" + "NVIDIA GPU" it will only say the primary one by default. Doesn't matter though really.

As you can clarify everything working in Windows.

To actually see and verify a secondary GPU (from either AMD or NVIDIA) working properly; run GPUZ and view the monitor. Then run something that will use it, even a web-browser running something like Netflix or YouTube for example should by default use "Hardware Acceleration" and thus use your now secondary GPU. In a desktop format, the GPU used is primary determined by which video output your display is connected to. So connecting to the Motherboard I/O for example would force the system to only use the Intel GPU. And connecting to the GTS 450 (or whatever installed dedicated GPU there is) should then use that one by default.

An OS such as Win8 or 8.1 should already by default install a generic MS WHQL Driver for such an NVIDIA GPU as this. However you don't want to use that, nor do u want to get AMD/NVIDIA Driver updates via Windows Updates; instead u want the latest WHQL Driver Suite for your NVIDIA GPU from either NVIDIA.com or Geforce.com

its a intgrated ati gpu xp id never be caught dead with the intel hd grapics yuck lol yet i hate how windows 8 is programmed..but i guss replugging every boot isent such a big deal if it means i dont have to use a intgrated gpu lol

U shouldn't have to change (re-plug) monitor cable every bootup; then something is wrong.

Just power off the system, plug the monitor into the NVIDIA GPU and leave it that way. On some systems it may help to enter the BIOS and set the preferred way of detecting the GPUs though; such as PCI-E; Onboard/Integrated (so it looks at the dedicated GPU firstly when installed)

Also if it's an older AMD Motherboard (like AM2/AM3 series) with onboard AMD GPU; that is usually fully optional within the BIOS and should just be disabled when a dedicated GPU is going to be used to avoid conflicts. On newer AMD/Intel setups where the GPU is onboard the CPU; such option is usually not present, thus allowing both GPUs to always be present.

What motherboard do u have?
Heart <3 2014 年 11 月 18 日 上午 12:09 
trust me the jasmine motherboard is very odd the newer types of bios have a differnt security feature then older motherboards i cant remember the name of it really lol but seems to be the only way i can get it to work but it conflicts with older gpus like that one
Bad 💀 Motha 2014 年 11 月 18 日 上午 12:11 
What does "security" have to do with anything regarding this matter?

Anyways if u not sure of the motherboard model; look in an app like SPECCY or CPUZ; such as app would have all the needed hardware details.
Bad 💀 Motha 2014 年 11 月 18 日 上午 12:19 
Well first I'd update your OS to 8.1

But yea I see it is an AMD APU Motherboard; reviewing the specs and all now. Will try to answer as best I can now that I have this info.

i would but ever since 8.1 came out theres been problems updateing and whenever i tryed it would fail to configure updates so =/ yea my other hard drive had 8.1 in it but it failed and i had to use this older model hdd ( witch would explain why its at 53 degrees it was made in 07) but before i had alot of issues trying to get it to update to 8.1 x.x too much headache to upgrade lol

Can u verify what the BIOS is set to for boot up options?
UEFI Secure Boot Mode -or- Legacy Mode?

As the GTS 450 will not function properly unless BIOS is set to Legacy Mode.

Going from 8 < 8.1 should just be a matter or downloading and starting a MS update. It should be rather straight-forward and effort-less. However, after such an update is done, users need to understand that once 8.1 is installed; they should reinstall or clean install their device drivers to avoid issues. Such as GPU, Sound, Network related drivers.
