I was hoping for something too. Hopefully thats a good sign and the "few days" do not become a few weeks.

Press escape in game, or boot up the game or exit a server etc etc. It flashes your desktop at you, meaning your gpu has to process that change from 3d to 2d and back while it happens. Monitor your gpu while it does it, you'll see.

So are you saying the game actually buggers up your graphics card? I just paid £589 pound for mine and don't want to bugger it up.

Any graphics card that gets "buggered" by switching modes isn't worth the money paid for it.
That a graphics card gets "buggered" by that, belongs in the realms of fantasy.

Run a gpu monitor and make happen and you'll see why I think in the long term it will shorten gpu life. Or don't. I'm not really bothered tbh.
