Just got a new gtx760 2g. When i go to go to download the drivers for it, the nvidia driver downloader pops up with "no compatible hardware found." I have read quite a few forums on 760's not being detected and have tried most of the different "fixes" people were needing. I have yet to come out with a fix for mine though. I've updated my bios, in hope that it was that, sadly it was not. 
My CPU Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68MA-D2h-B3
16g ram
intel i5
EVGA GTX 760 2g
600w coolermaster psu

Also, when i first turn the computer on, my computer doesn't come up with "installing new hardware"
My computer acts as if my new gpu isnt connected at all. I've tried running both hdmi and dvi monitor connections from it with no luck. My monitors right now are connected to my mobo.

I have contacted gigabyte to see if my mobo just simply doesnt support this card, and they are asking "If so since you are running the UEFI bios check whether if the card uses the UEFI bios or Legacy bios.".
I'm not quite sure where to find this information at.
 
Thanks, any help is most appreciated!

    At this time, I can confirm that GTX 760s ship with a UEFI capable BIOS, so that likely isn't an issue. Can you install this card in another computer and see if the behavior continues? This would be the best indicator of where the problem lies; if the problem goes away, you may have an issue with something else in your system. If the problem continues, then there is likely an issue with the card. You should contact EVGA support at that point, either at support@evga.com or by phone at 888-881-EVGA (3842) and we'll do what we can for you.

    Hello Datal
     
     
    Unfortunately as James mentioned you might need to test the card in another system in order to verify if the issue is following it. Please keep us updated with your testing in order to support you further with this is
