MSI gtx 1070 gaming X problems

So the kids needed a new GPU the gtx 670 was showing its age

I bought a gtx 1070 and gave them my Evga 980 ti SC + and took the MSI gtx 1070 gaming X

a few problems with it

1. with the MSI app it will cause the screen to flicker when going to games or coming out of games or the web.
removed the software and reinstalled the drivers all ok now

2. in DOOM 3 at times in fights it will lag out for a few seconds

Not sure if its a driver problem for DOOM 3 / I know they will work out the software
just frustrating as my gtx 980 ti had zero problems

what do you guys think RMA the 1070 or wait it out / hate to wait to long and not be able return the gpu for a full refund
 
No I don't see a big improvement, I was coming from a gtx 980 ti SC+ so there would only be a 6% improvement over that card

The Kids sure do see a improvement with the gtx 980 ti over the gtx 670

I didn't buy the card for a big improvement over my gtx 980 ti
