Damn straight. If it's noticeable on single card, wait to you try Mantle on multi gpu, then it's different gravy.
Cool although at the moment I'm not seeing much need for another as one is doing the job perfectly.

It seems my nice tri-x has just given up on me. Just browsing the forum and the screen went into standby. Restarted the PC and the screen will not come out of standby. Plugged into the onboard GPU and all is fine.
Anyone any ideas before I throw it out the window....

not having much luck. Tried reset it? Power cables also? Try different pci-e cables.

Just tried it in my 2nd PC and its dead. Pc powers on and loads windows but there is no display on any outputs. Plugged in my 7970 and it fires up straight away.
Just wonderful...

Speaking of not having much luck, i'm worried my superflower 1000w platinum might be on the way out. Three times this morning the pc has turned itself off, then turned itself back on after a few seconds. Only been web browsing at the time so not under heavy load. Sound like a psu issue?

Gutted for you mate
it seemed to be working great.

I would say psu, but as a test put everything back to stock.

Funnily enough i was running close to stock. Recently ive been using a 4Ghz cpu clock with my chip heavily undervolted at 1.15v because of Mantle. Will try again and see if it happens on my 5Ghz profile. If it does i guess it's rma time and pc downtime.
My 650w superflower did this a couple of times. I returned it and since using my bequiet it has not happens again ??
Caporegime
THere is a chance i suppose it could've been the undervolting settings i was using. If it happens on my 5Ghz profile then i know it's faulty as i have every bios and power setting up to the max for this. So far so good...
I cant see why under volting would effect the PSU but who knows. The luck I have had in the last week anything is possible...
Just fired up the PC on the internal GPU with the 290 installed and it does not show in the bios or Windows.
7970 installed and it runs perfect or as well as a knackered old 7970 with half a cooler works.
GPU is confirmed dead.

In matts case under voltage on the cpu might make the system un-stable and cut out.
It's like when you lower the GPU voltage to low and get a black screen.

Well it's not done it since so it appears like it may have been my attempts to save some power lol. 
Caporegime
Better that then you power supply bung so you got off light
Yeah. The weird thing is it passed 20 runs of intel burn test very high stable at 4Ghz undervolted at full load 100% per thread, yet unstable at idle.
