I have a PC that doesn't have integrated graphics since the processor lacks an iGPU, which means the motherboard doesn't have any display ports. I just installed a new dedicated GPU, but my monitor is showing a black screen. I'm wondering if this is because the computer doesn't have the correct drivers for the new GPU. Am I out of luck? Is there any way to get something displayed or to install the drivers without an existing GPU? I should mention that I've already sold my old GPU. I'd appreciate any advice or help!

Yeah, definitely share the specs! I'm pretty sure you can get that GPU working even without the drivers initially. If your hardware is relatively recent, the dedicated GPU should at least provide an output for setup.
Even without the proper drivers, your dedicated GPU should work because Windows has generic drivers built in. But to be sure, could you let us know the specs of your system? What motherboard are you using, and how old is it? That info could help us troubleshoot better.
