Windows 8 & Graphics Cards

[Voltron]

Bought a new gigabyte 660Ti graphics card, installed it and is working fine but when I try to open the OC utility it wont open. All the drivers are downloaded through windows 8 updates but it seems like soon as you try to download something like the utility from gigabyte, it just doesn't work. Same thing with my motherboards utility, I don't know any ideas?

have you tried compatability mode settings?

For your motherboard utilities, check their website as they might have some updated stuff for Win8 out there. The ones that came with your motherboard might still be Win7 and older.

Agree with the compatibility mode settings. Im not familiar with how they work in Win8 but in Win7, you just right click on the program, go into Properties and there should be a compatibility tab that you can get into and change it to run in Win7 compatibility mode.

Ok thanks fellas I'll check out the compatibility setting and check the websites for any updates for windows 8.
