Yeah, I was just looking through my own Newegg history and the last 5 of 6 orders were at my door within 48 hours via Purolator, If you've already ordered I bet you have it by Friday!

That one that is already in your PC is kind of slow, it's DDR3 1600 with CL11 .

The one you were looking at in the best buy link is a 2x4GB kit. If you went that route it'd be better to replace the stick that's in there already.

Something like this should give you a few extra FPS

Did you disable the onboard graphics in BIOS first? There should be a priority one where you can select a discrete card.

Most modern boards will just toggle between them. You can also verify by hooking up the monitor to the integrated one when the graphics card is installed and seeing if it is also a black screen, as opposed to using the one in the GPU after installing it.

i couldnt find an option to disable to the onboard graphics in the bios, i could only find an option to set primary device to pci e, and that didnt work. and i did plug into both slots, the screen still would not register (black)

I had the same problem at work yesterday. BIOS flash to latest BIOS version fixed it.

Got video out of onboard video just fine. When I plugged in the dedicated card got no video on either card.

What sort of a video card did you put into your computer? Did you hook up all the necessary 6-pin power connectors?

Run DDU with the integrated card. Use the option to uninstall and shutdown (for new graphics card). Put in new card. See what happens.

This is not an issue with the card or board I don't think, just Windows 10 weirdness with drivers and not wanting to show stuff. Might be worth disabling any fastboot options as a last resort.

i found another and the same thing happens, i dont know how to run the "DDU with integrated card"... is this happening because they arent brand new cards?
