Gigabyte 5700xt crashes, black screens - bad fps.. what now?

I splashed out on this gigabyte 5700xt thinking it would be an awesome 1440p card for a decent price... even since i bought it i've had black screens, crashes, driver reboots and terrible FPS in games that my gtx 1060 smashed...

Can anyone help?

Can you still return the card? If so, return it, and trust me paying 50 usd more for not having to troubleshot the GPU is absolutely worth it. 50USD is what-like 7 hours of minimum wage. You will lose more time than that troubleshoting this mess, so you are actually losing money, because your time is priceless -the clock is ticking and you are closer and closer to the coffin. Just look at it from this perspective.

Turns out you can’t return a card just because the manufacturer can’t create drivers that work for it... all scan uk will do is replace it with an identical one..... sigh.....
