i take your point its just all the places were saying just move the sliders and job done easy oc but thats proving not the case. I accept you can have differing silicon etc but practically all reviews were saying the same.
Ive now used the settings as posted above `Set voltage to 1174 and put the clocks to 1125/1575 using afterburner` and after i had tried all sorts of settings myself, this one seems to have gotten me somewhere, im running tests as we speak and things are going, dare i say, well so far.
Still have this half screen issue but off to brother in laws to test on a normal pc monitor to see what happens will post results asap.
I wouldn't be surprised if all the reviewers had binned sample cards to play with.
