I have a gtx 660 which supports dx11, but printed on my gigabyte z68ap-d3 it only says 10.1

do i need to upgrade my board or is this not a big deal?

oh, ok. I think I was just looking for an excuse to upgrade my board. seems as though i flashed the bios for the rev2 addition of my board and i think it may be affecting my ability to run windows 8. can't seem to downgrade to my previous rev1 bios either.

I definitely would, but after installing 8.1 on a separate partition It would not boot past the splash screen. I got some sort of watchdog timeout error once but that's about it. I'm trying to look into whether or not I can just update to the newest rev2 bios and try installing Windows 8, then upgrade to 8.1 preview but I wanted some feedback first, and tweaktowns forums seem to be down at the moment.
