    I know that with the M18X, graphics card tuning software had a habit of bricking the EDID's on the displays, is it the same case with the AW18?

    Im currently placed 9th for firestrike 1.1 with 4710MQ and GTX 1060, and i wanted to up that :D

    If I recall correctly it was the EVGA Precision software that was bricking EDID's.

    Both I do believe they both did yep. I did find out that Nvidia's inspector, (an older version) had the software on it that i was able to overclock my 1060 :)
