VIA Drivers (Audio, Graphics, Network, Etc.), Windows 8

Windows 8 drivers for hardware that uses VIA's audio, networking, graphics, and card reader chipsets are available from their standard driver download page which I've linked to below.

VIA has both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8 drivers for the majority of their chipsets but according their Windows 8 driver FAQ here, the following audio chipsets should be supported by native Windows 8 drivers and will not receive further updates: VT1708, VT1708A, VT1612A, VT1613, VT1616/B, VT1617/A, VT1618, VT82C686A/B, VT8231, VT8233/AC, VT8235 & VT8237/R, and VT8251.

Note: These Windows 8 drivers are directly from VIA, a chipset manufacturer. A VIA chipset may be a part of your computer's motherboard or other hardware but VIA did not manufacture the device as a whole, just the chipset. Because of that, it's possible that your actual computer or device manufacturer has a better Windows 8 driver for your VIA-based device than VIA does.

If you see the Congratulations! The [MODEL] is supported for Windows 8message, that means that Sony has tested your computer with Windows 8 and provides Windows 8 drivers.

If you see the The [MODEL] is not supported for Windows 8. Sony will not provide any support or drivers for installation of Windows 8 on this model.message, that doesn't necessarily mean that Windows 8 won't install or work properly on your computer with Microsoft-provided drivers. It just means that Sony won't be actively supporting Windows 8 on your PC.

I have yet to see a nicely organized list of Windows 8 compatible Intel motherboards or other hardware, but I'd expect anything manufactured in the several years prior to the release of Windows 8 to be fully compatible.

This single update works with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8.

Dell Drivers (Printers)

Many of Dell's most popular printers are supported natively in Windows 8. In other words, you won't need to install a Windows 8 driver for many Dell printers.

On Dell's Microsoft Windows 8 Compatibility with Dell Printers page, any printer listed as Windows 8 compatible will not need a Dell-provided Windows 8 driver because Windows 8 will recognize and install the appropriate driver automatically.

Dell printers listed as Not supported may or may not have a Dell-provided Windows 8 driver. Check Dell's standard support site, linked below, for a Windows 8 driver for that printer model.

A number of models of Dell color laser printers, monochrome laser printers, and inkjet printers are fully compatible with Windows 8. I expect you'll find Dell-provided Windows 8 drivers for any other popular printers that aren't natively supported in Windows 8.

Canon does provide some Windows 8 drivers for their printers, scanners, and multi-function devices, all of which you can download from their support site that I've linked to here.

Tip: While Canon does not seem to keep a list of their devices that work with Windows 8 out-of-the-box, I do own a number of Canon products and, looking at information on Microsoft's site and in Windows 8 itself, it appears as though most of their popular printer and scanner models will work perfectly fine in Windows 8 with the drivers Windows provides.

BIOSTAR Drivers (Motherboards & Graphics)

While I couldn't find a list of BIOSTAR motherboards and video cards that were compatible with Windows 8, I did find that most of their recent hardware has Windows 8 drivers available.

I would expect most BIOSTAR boards that worked with Windows 7 to also work with Windows 8.

Most of the Windows 8 drivers available right now from ASUS are beta drivers, but more and more are WQHL certified for Windows 8. On my last check, I saw Windows 8 drivers for several of ASUS's more popular Intel and AMD based motherboards.

You can see a current list of Windows 8 supported ASUS motherboards on their Windows 8-Ready Motherboards page. I'd guess that this page will stay updated for quite a while as Windows 8 becomes more commonplace.

AMD Radeon Driver (Video)

The latest AMD Radeon Windows 8 driver is the AMD Catalyst 13.4 Suite (Released 2013-04-24).

This Windows 8 driver suite from AMD includes the actual AMD display driver, as well as the AMD Catalyst Control Center and the AMD Vision Engine Control Center software.

This Windows 8 driver is compatible with most AMD/ATI Radeon HD GPUs, including those in the HD 7000, HD 6000, and HD 5000 series. That includes both desktop and mobile GPUs. Drivers for older AMD GPUs are not available for Windows 8, at least not yet.

Latest Acer Drivers Acer (Desktops, Notebooks, Tablets)

Any Windows 8 drivers for Acer products can be found via their support site (linked below) just like their drivers for other operating systems.

Acer lists all of their Windows 8 compatible computer models on theirWindows Upgrade Offer page. Look toward the bottom of the page for a list of Acer computers incompatible with Windows 8.

Another helpful resource on Acer's site is their Affected Model List, which categorizes their Windows 8 compatible PCs by any issues you might encounter when installing Windows 8. If you're clean installing Windows 8, which I always recommend, your only concern should be the BIOS category. In other words, be sure to update your listed Acer computer's BIOS to the latest version before installing Windows 8.

Tip: Just because your Acer computer is listed as Windows 8 compatible doesn't mean Acer necessarily provides any Windows 8 drivers for your computer. If none are available from Acer, that means Windows 8 probably installs perfectly acceptable drivers during installation.
