Update ur drivers, if not working reinstall updated drivers
go to run -> dxdiag and check whether ur gpu is detected or not

 

[Airecho]

Thanx. ..i updated the drivers and enabled the Nvidia driver .... Looks like they were disabled somehow. .... And now my laptop I think itself switches between Intel and nvidia

So, my HD4850 just died. I'm planning to replace it equivalent or better GPU as a stop gap measure for 1-2 years til a big upgrade. Any recommendations? will be keeping the budget as low as possible.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've a C2D 3.0GHz, CM 600w PSU. Not sure if I'd like to spend 10k on this ancient system considering I may upgrade in a year.
For the time being, planning to play games such as FIFA, F1, AC and the like.

Ah, get the best gpu you can buy .. sure C2D is going to bottleneck it's performance but still the performance is not going to suck. When you will get a new config 1 year later the gpu will feel like money spent well.

i just had this build in mind (im not buying)
fx 4300-6.2k

kingston value ram- 2.6k
antec vp550-3.8k
some 500gb hdd- 3.3k

so which of these GPU will be best?
SApphire 7790 1gb ddr5- 9.3k
HIS r7 260x 1gb ddr5- 9.9k?

ok..i had wd blue in my mind too...
BTW is 260x comparable to 650ti boost?
and does it support mantle??
P.S. and if i get the 6300 will i have to be changing the mobo? or wil this suffice, given that i dont wanna OC or do any future upgrades i only need a barebones mobo...
thanks for such a quick reply

 

[ASHISH65]

Get this mobo - ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard - ASUS: Flipkart.com

ofcourse fx 6300 will support it. Gtx 650ti boost > r9 260x > hd 7790


yes you get mantle support

 

[sam_738844]

R9 270 X, r7 260x or R9 260X, r7 260?, r9 270?, i just need a r6 series to completely destroy users with a confusion bomb from AMD nomenclature

 

[topgear]

It's R7 260x only and you missed the R7 250x and non X . Still there's R8 left. So the possibilities are endless and sky is the limit

70 under load is fine. but idle temps are little higher.

 

[flyingcow]

idle temps should be little higher than your room temperature.
load temp under 85C is fine.
