new graphics card on my pc is not showing up?

Question

so the graphics card that came with my computer is a rs880 and i just got a new graphics (VisionTek Radeon hd 5670 with a 2gb memory) card and put that in my computer a little while ago along with a new power supply that can run about 600 watts. for whatever reason it still says i have my old graphics card on my computer and doesn't read my new one. i tried putting on the installation disk and all but still wont read the new card. for the record i have not removed any previous card from my computer because i could not find one and the directions were so crappy and not vivid at all. i see on the directions it says for me to plug it into my power supply i'm pretty sure but i have searched all over the card there is nothing it can plug into rather then straight into the computer.

You need to uninstall the old drivers and set the display to vga first. Restart the computer and the computer should pick up the new card and install the correct drivers automatically or you can pop the disc in and install.

first go to bios settings, and set pci-e as primary display adapter. Then uninstall ur previous drivers and install drivers for radeon 5670. Then it should be ok.
