Hello everyone!

 

    So recently I bought a 1050ti to tide me over after my ancient 560 ti started running at 100c. Couldn't fix the temps due to broken fans.  This is the card I purchased.

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125913&cm_re=1050_ti-_-14-125-913-_-Product

 

Anyways, upon getting my card and installing it properly I noticed that my GPU didn't come with a CD for drivers and their own software....In fact, aside form the Brown box it came in, the GPU box wasn't sealed at all. No to tape or anything else sealing the box. Now, not having the drivers was no big deal. I went over to Nvidia and downloaded the latest driver for the card. Cake. However, I can't exactly seem to find the software utility for the card itself. Apparently there is a gigabyte front end program for this card. I want to use it to mess with the cards lighting on the LED nameplate and just explore around. Now, I've been searching.....but to no avail I cant find any proper software for this card. Am I blind or am I really just that dense? Any help would be great. Much thanks. 

 

(Also, the card is great for an entry level card. It's not the best for price to performance, but I'm playing everything I want to and my card doesn't even get to 60c under load with extended play times.)

 

EDIT: The closest thing I could find to software is the OC Guru....And this clearly isn't what I wanted.)
