Be more specific. I

Is your new card working?

What model nvidia card is it? What model did you upgrade from?

where is the monitor cable plugged in to? it should be plugged in to the new card... did you install the drivers for the card? did you change the display mode (resolution, refresh rate, colors, etc?) what were you expecting in terms of a change? until you run something that actually uses the capabilities of the card you really may not see the difference...
