Hi Guys and girls,

So this card is pretty beasty, and looks awesome but having a few issues with it.

I had an issue where by i was getting horizontal lines running down the screen, and some screen tear on certain games.

Managed to fix this by setting wait for vertical refresh to always on and enabling vertical sync within games, However on one of the games i play (css), enabling vertical sync gets rid of the lines however causes the game to lag, ive changes and disabled all other settings in the game and the lag only disappears when i disable vertical sync.

Anyone got this card and had simiiar issues? or can lend some advice please. Going to keep playing with settings but any help is appreciated.

running i5 4670
MSI Z87-G43

No overclock has been done on any of the componants other than the factory overclock on the gfx card.

Have also tried using different drivers uninstalling the old, inlcuding some new ones that were released last week i think.

On board graphics are disabled via bios.

thanks
 
Sorted it out guys, was using a dvi to vga converter as monitor didn't take hdmi.

switched to hdmi monitor, disabled vsync everywhere and everythings running sweetly!
