This is dubious, but the reason I was paying attention is Xorg (at least the display) getting into a weird locked up state (screen not updating until I restart X) when switching video modes (I think), specifically when Steam (the game thingy) in "big picture mode" tries to run a game. But this could also very well just be Steam doing something wrong (it's a new system so I'm not sure where the fault might lie).
