It's all up and running and working well. I just don't know if I need to do any fine-tuning to get the best performance out of my GPU? I basically updated the drivers and thats it.
It can run Borderlands 2 at 1080p, but not high frame rates, and at any resolution I use it still has some strange artifacting in the middle of the screen when I move around.
