hmm my memory has stopped dropping the clock in 2d mode. its stuck at full whack. Was ok the first couple of days. Thought I had avoided the issues by not using GPUz or tweak or anything other than CCC, not going above 13.11 beta 3 and I also have gfx overdrive off in CCC.
I guess it will be fixed in a driver update at some point but bit crappy.

Chrome (and probably other browsers) can do GPU acceleration of some web-content so it might be worth disabling it or shutting them down and see if that helps.

Good to see drivers getting updated.

I await your new and improved scores
Won't get one on firestrike/extreme due to Gpu tweak screwing up my Cpu scores.
I'll run them all again though and see how it goes.
BF4 codes are now working (went to http://www.amd.com/getbattlefield4 logged in and entered code from card - then entered the displayed new code into ea-origin) - though download doesn't start until tomorrow.

my 290x is DSR'd, knew I should have waited for non-ref, the AMD cooler is not fit for purpose in any manner. cant see non-ref 290X's being cheaper than 780, time to stick the 670 back in and stay green with a 780 on the waymmmm silence
Was the cooler that bad really lol or just the heat was too much
?

If it goes for the cooler IT SUCKS...
I can hear that ****er in my Asus Vulcan ANC with activated noise cancelling while playing bf4....
Cant wait for waterblock.

I just tried a new overclock:

1200/1425(5700)
GPUTweak I gave a target mV of 1375 but it never seem to exceed 1328mV during the bench. GPU temp highest was 56c, highest VRM temp was 69c.
What is a safe VRM temp these days?
Zero artifacts.
