Just to close this out...you need to download the Nvidia drivers from their website and then rafter you restart your pc it should be recognized just fine.The default Windows or Linux drivers are not the kind you need, and yes it could mean reloading the Nvidia drivers every time Windows updates as THEY think theirs are better.
