It's been a long wait but I'm finally home and here is mine
No.
Based on my OWN experience owning reference xfx 7970 and now reference sapphire 290.
It's about the same. The 290 is a bit more of a whiney noise.
I would say they are the same mate.
Can't say either have been whiney in my cases the sound is less high pitched more moving air with the 290 I have, the 7970 I had was similar but didn't oc well

Ok thanks
I'm going to wait for the non-reference cards
So my card is all setup now running stock...
Played a quick 30 min game of BF4 Ultra @ stock clocks, not sure on the actual FPS but it was smooth as butter.
Temperatures were:
idle: 37oC
Highest @ 100% GPU usage: 47oC
Not bad, although as I said I'm running stock speeds at the moment and very much intend on pushing the card a fair bit yet, I think I'll leave it at stock for a week or so, let it get it's legs going before I set it off sprinting.
I was wondering, it's been an awful long time since I had an ATI/AMD card, are there any particular settings in the control panel I should pay attention to/stay away from? Also when I am looking to overclock, any useful/need to know tips I should be aware of

I'm having problems with my card, anyone got any ideas? I can't boot using display port I get error 62 on my rampage iv formula and no boot. If I use HDMI connection then I can boot without any problem. If I then swap to display port everything is OK until I switch off and I don't get a boot again when I power back on. If I force the monitor over the DP connection to 60Hz it boots sometimes, leave it at 120Hz and nothing.
I'm totally at a loss, tried updating my BIOS, no overclock, latest AMD drivers and none of that has made a difference. Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

I think I need to repeat what I asked earlier:
**HAS ANYONE HAD BLACKSCREENS WITH HYNIX Memory modules, yet?** (when NOT using CCC to overclock the MEMORY clocks).
So far 100% of the feedback about NON overdrive memory overclock caused black screens have been from Elpida.

Should work for the memory checker, but watch out for those stupid site popups.
