Its actually just the exact same name lol. Yeah... imagine when people post specs from the control panel now. "Nvidia GT 600 series graphics..." "Which model is it?" "GT 640" "Well, your problem is undoubtedly your CPU, but buy a new graphics card or never post here again." I suppose this is what GPU-z is for. | ||

There's maybe not enough supply or the cost is too high for 28nm (or volume shipment needs to be now or soon), so we get a recycled 40nm part. The 28nm DDR3 model has a lower TDP, so it is suitable for a slightly different class of system than the GDDR5 model. edit: obviously naming doesn't make sense, but Nvidia is not marketing these at consumers. Consumers mostly won't need to deal with the confusion. I also don't think it'd kill them to call them like GT 440 SE or use some other uniquely-identifying suffix or prefix. But oh well. The actual OEMs can always set the clock speeds slightly different, but it'd at least be nice to have one product name refer to a specific combination of GPU and memory type. | ||

Like when I run dual displays occasionally for big events, even though the HDMI is display 1, until I get into the OS, everything goes to the DVI slot. Make sure you're on the right HDMI as well, if it has multiple inputs. | ||

Make sure you're on the right HDMI as well, if it has multiple inputs. I tried every output, hdmi and dvi How would I go about dowloading the drivers? I have only made the test build so far just to see if it reaches post so no hardrive etc Actually I am not sure if that would help seeing as the mobo doeesnt even recognise the gpu is there | ||

Do you have another PCIE slot, even a shitty one? | ||

I checked it and none of the pins seem to be damaged or bent however if it comes to rma'ing then I would like to know I am sending back the correct thing. At this stage, it's pretty trial and error and shit. You can swap stuff around and narrow it down pretty far though. Unfortunately, damn near anything CAN cause trouble, but play the odds. Always play the odds. Motherboard seems more prone to causing that trouble than CPU, so try it first if the GPU works. | ||

Ok so I couldnt fit the gpu in case of my current rig and taking out everything is simply not possible. The fact that the 9800gt I use now didnt work in the new mobo either would point towards that being the fault no? | ||

You can try those just to make sure there isn't a broken wire in the PCIE power off your PSU. (That's an improbable thing, but you sounded like you'd prefer to verify as many things as possible before RMAs.) | ||

That probably sounds confusing. Anyways, yeah, you can pretty safely accuse the GPU of being a bad sample. The first line, by way of explanation, is just because you seem so levelheaded about troubleshooting. Far too rare. | ||
