Question: Is there any problem with windows 8?
Document: This card pretty much can top any current gen games.It runs cool and smooth.I have some videos of benchmarks. I run all my games on top settings at 1920x1080pTomb Raider -  [...]Witcher 2 - [...]Medieval Chivalry Warfare - [...]My Rig:i7 3770k @3.5Ghz16 Gb Vengeance RamGigabyte 7870Mobo - Z75 Pro 3Windows 8 Pro 64 BitMy only Con: If you're running on Windows 8 you may have some driver problems, but nothing big.
My previous review marked this as messing up my computer pretty badly. Which I really thought was the case because everything was working great until I installed this card. So I figured I just ended up with faulty drivers, or didn't completely remove the old drivers like you're supposed to.So I did a fresh install of Windows 7 and everything seemed to start working fine again... up until today... and the problem started happening again.
It converts the video perfectly and it runs great.So I know the TV doesn't have a problem and I know the HDMI cord is working fine. Yet, when I want to game or just look at windows through the Samsung TV the glitchy jumpy artfiact filled picture I get is just awful, making it completely unusable.All and all I would say this is a good gaming card with good performance but its loud and the HDM didn't connect with my Samsung TV.
Testing in FurMark at 1920x1080 on the factory settings ran between 33.3 and 33.6 FPS, and capped around 60 degrees Celsius. After my overclock, it ran at 43.2 to 43.8 FPS, around a whopping 30% increase. Keep in mind that this will not always directly translate to 30% better FPS in games, but it was impressive, regardless.
I was instructed to try 12.8 or 12.11 beta and see if either worked. 12.8 did not fix my issue but it did lessen the effect so I tried the 12.11beta driver and it now works like a dream with out issues.Keep in mind that the issue I experienced with the driver could also be directly related to the fact that it is an alpha version of the game I was playing.
I have now had this card for 8 months. In that time i have never had any issues or problems except one which i will go into later. As others have said this card is longer then normal. However it is a really great value compared to what else is out there.PROPerformance/Visual Effects etc are all greatGreat CostVery nice in power usageConThe Drivers seem to slow down the overall performance of the computer but this is only updated it to the current Catalyst Driver system.
LOVE IT, Almost perfect, my only problem with this is that it didnt have a VGA port, but thats no problem, it has DVI and HDMI~
It will overclock easily 10-12% but it not needed. Good card for single monitor gaming. 3 months without a problem.
my last card was an nvidia gtx 250. when i upgraded to this card all my graphics settings went WAY up, and i ran into the ram limitations of windows 7 32 bit, which started causing game crashes. This was NOT the fault of this card, it was windows .This is not an architectural limit; it is a limit imposed by Microsoft as a workaround for driver compatibility issues that were discovered during testing.
This is great card. Catalyst beta 13.1 drivers worked perfectly. It's the best performance for the buck out there. It's wonderful for gamer. I'm playing bioshock on max settings no problems. So what is the downside?My processor is an fx 8320. So I'm not sure if that makes a difference but now it runs hotter. The fan is on more often even when I'm on the windows desktop and it idles.
Answer: On the package it says it is Windows 8 ready. But, I would double-check at the Gigabyte website.
