Hello,
Received this graphic card, I format my PC and installed a fresh and clean Windows 10 PRO, apply all windows update, installed Nvidia driver and then finally install the VGA - XTREME 1.02 version from gigabyte website for GTX1080 G1.
Result: nothing. I double click the icon, nothing appear on screen, windows run fine, nothing crash, but I cant manage my graphic card, cant try OC or change led colour.
Yesterday Gigabyte releases de 1.03 version of this software, I try again - now when I run the utility a icon appear for icon tray (near clock) for 3 seconds and disappear.
My build: Board MSI Big Bang X-Power, Corsair 750 watts, Intel I7 960, SSD 256Gb Corsair, BENQ 32" 4K monitor.
Again, this is a fresh and clean install of Windows 10 PRO, no update from Windows 7 or 8. No other software installed, except Windows + updates + Nvidia driver. There is no antivirus, firewall, nothing. Only Windows + drivers.
After this epic failure I installed 2 games: The Witcher 3 and World of Warcraft and both games run fine on ultra settings in 4k. No issues with the graphic card.
I dont know HOW Gigabyte will fix this, but I live in Europe and by law I can return this to store in 14 days after the purchase date, so If I dont have a solution I will return this graphic card to store in next days. I will not RISK put 800 euros in a new graphic card without a software to manage.
I opened a support ticket with Gigabyte 3 days ago, and now answer. No support.
Thank for any input.
