I downloaded and installed the Windows 8.1 "Preview" yesterday, and it now appears that my GPU - GeForce GTX 580M - isn't working properly.

I know it's not working properly because when I launch Civ 5, the game looks awful and none of the "tiles" are rendering terrain detail properly.

This happened pre-8.1, but it turns out I just needed to update the driver of the video card so the game wouldn't launch running Intel graphics.

By all other measures, the GPU seems to be working. It's updated to the latest driver, the GeForce experience loads properly....

Only thing I can think of is maybe it's something else? Any suggestions are very much appreciated -- this is my first post, and I'm looking forward to being a part of the community.

fyi: computer is an Alienware MX 17 R3
