Welcome to TPU!

What board is it on? Fill in your system, specs here, it will help with diagnosis.

PCI-E x16 @ x8
Did you plug it into the right slot on your mobo? If you have 2 graphics cards slots, make sure it's in the top one.

damn gigabyte and that damn hypermemory:laugh:
Jokes aside you should post the brand of the card and the model number.


EDIT: from what a I can see in the gpu z shot it seems it's showing a 7200gs not a 9500 gt.

It seems you haven't cleared your old drivers properly.
Uninstall all vga drivers, run ccleaner and reboot. then re-install your new drivers.

Also, you want it as x16 if you can.

Look's like the OP may still be connected the onboard VGA. Switch the cable over to the cards DVI/VGA port.

This also can happen when you dont plug the PCIe power connector into the graphics card, and it does the above, if not, I believe although its a new card, its borked :(

GPU-z is displaying the specs for the onboard card, which is probably still enabled.

Select the 9500GT from the drop down box at the bottom of GPUz.

I doubt GPU-Z will consider the 9500GT a Nvidia Entry Graphics card. You are probably still running onboard graphics or you got some fake card.

I think he is still using onboard graphics too, turn the onboard graphics off from the bios and switch the cable.
