No drivers are available on the ASUS support page for this graphics card, which is currently installed in the box I'm using under Win8x64, the latest drivers on the page are for Win7x64.
I don't play any games (except occasionally MS Mahjjohng or MS Solitaire) and I don't do any intensive video encoding (only occasionally cutting down the length of low-res family home videos).
The graphics seem to be functioning normally so far, the display adapter seems to be properly recognized in Device Manager.
Would I need to install a driver for my graphics card for any reason? If so, would the driver for Win7x64 work under Win8x64, or is there someone who has created a reliable driver for this card that I can use?
I'm on a fixed income, so buying a new graphics card at this point (and getting a new PSU to accommodate the extra energy consumption - this card has VERY low power needs) is not feasible for me for the next few months at least.
Any advice would be appreciated.
