    Not Recognizing GFX card


    So I usually don't pay any attention to windows notifications but I realized now that windows isn't recognizing my GPU. I checked device manager and it looks like it's installed correctly.

    Windows gave me a link to download drivers but it was the 32bit version. I thought this was strange considering I'm on 64bit - No idea how relevant this is.

    If you bought the computer prebuilt, download them from your manufacturers site.

    It's a prebuilt system that I added a GPU to.

    I downloaded and installed the new drivers but It's still telling me that I'm missing them.
