Welcome home brother, enjoy Mantle.
Cheers
I'll probably be picking up the new dragon age for Christmas so I can try Mantle out on that too.

Up and running
BF4 runs smoother on this than my 970s.
The cooler on this card is pretty insane, 62C in BF4.
Nice temp.
Nice temp.
That's at 1100mhz too. At stock it's a couple degrees cooler. Nice cooler on this card.
Though I have a clicking noise on the fans at higher speeds which is a bit annoying.

Not bad, couple hundred gpu points better than my best reference card. What gpu clocks was that using?

Good core clocking though. I might have to get one.

Yea good on the core. Card suffers a lot of Vdroop. Found this on the 7970 Lightning series. Going from 1.32v down to 1.23v.
Need more voltage, temps are well in check.
You'll need the afterburner mod to get above +200mv.
Can't get the memory on mine over 1500Black screens instantly.
Have you increased the memory voltage in afterburner?
That is unlucky considering it's Samsung. Go for +100mv then!
Did you see my earlier question?

I'll give it a go.Stuck in work at the moment
Which one?
Not sure where i posted it now.
I asked if 1235 was the max stable even for short benching runs using +200mv?

It runs at 1250 but artifacts. It could probably pass a short run at 1240. This is with +200mv.
It's my best 290 so far, but still not very good.
