Hi and welcome.

I am afraid I am not quite sure what is the problem. Is the trouble  a feature of the game or of the card ?

When you say the game's on screen display have you checked the game's forum for help ?

Are you sure that you are folowing the correct procedure to enable the OSD ?

Hello, and thank you for your answer.
The game is F1 2011 (Codemasters). To explain better
I refer to the GPU manual at page 12.:
Gaming Mode:
Extreme 3D gaming mode for enthusiastic users. Users can SET Preferred GPU / Memory clock and
Adjust screen brightness, contract value, value range and under gaming mode. through
GIGABYTE Software On-Screen Display (OSD), users can monitor hardware information in games
Display and adjust settings in real time. In Addition, Gaming Mode Provides users with screenshots
by hot-key.

Thanks for the clarification there. We don't actually get the chance to have "hands on" with much of Gigabyte's products so most of our knowledge comes from manuals etc. which doesn't make things any easier.

I would think that it could be because you are using a resolution that isn't supported as standard. Try changing to a different resolution and see if that helps. Are you using the monitors natural setting ?

Is there anywhere in the menu that allows you to move or decide on the location of the OSD ?

Thank you.
From what you said occurred to me that my problem is because I use a secondary monitor.
As soon as I try to disable the second monitor, then tell you how it went.
Again many thanks for your time.

That certainly sounds like it could be what is causing your problem. ;)
