Has confirmed flashing from H3G to BTU worked properly for me though 
Sounds like a codec issue to me. What video player are you using and have you installed the latest drivers from AMD? Your HD 4350 has a UVD2 decoder unit which should handle 1080p60 without breaking a sweat. (My 4850 handles Note 3 1080p60 goodness with a 15% load, it should be similar on the 4350)
1080p60 is EPIC, super jealous of all you Note 3 owners! (well not really, the lens/sensor is still smartphone grade
)
Shut your hole! It's still capable of great results in the right mode
Video is superb though, 1080@60 is where it's at, 4k is just a bit much even for the latest smart TVs as beaming over DLNA I found the TV complained it was an unsupported format whereas 1080 looked glorious.

Cheers sarge - I'll update my driver and report back, forgot all about drivers, unlike you gamers I hardly update them.
I'm using Media Player Classic + CCCP codecs. That ok?
Sarge the hater
Cam is good till next years round. mrk - Yeah 4K is overkill, no image stabilsation and 30fps is just plain boring
edit - haha, my AMD driver is version 8.970 and the new one is 13.9 - out of date much?

mrk - I used the below and it's choppier than the current version I have.

Do you have a link?
Latest driver my card is 03/07/2012, 8.970.100.3000.
Same as I had before so no help there.
I think it maybe the 512MB VRAM that's holding it back. It has to power my 1440p monitor.
It's fairly smooth in native 1080p, but the GPU is maxed out at 99% so I'm guessing it should run a tad smoother.
EDIT: Sceenshot of stats show ~60fps playback - notice 99% GPU on my widget

As long as there's a hardware video decoder it should be fine really as the decoder does the bulk of the task.mrk - I used the below and it's choppier than the current version I have.

I use MPC-BE x64 edition from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/
Has anyone used the power savings mode for just downclocking the cpu yet?
I've enabled it this morning and plan to see what the battery is like this evening based on my average regular daily usage. So far as far as performance goes I've not noticed any difference so this is good to see. On the Note II you would see a slightly laggier UI by comparison.

Ive read about that on XDA, a lot of people dont see a performance decrease at all, some say even games and what not still run fine, id imagine if you tried doing too much you might - but overall the battery life is stunning, i charge my phone before sleep to 100% and wake up to 98-97%, if that was my S3 it would have been in the 70's.
Starting to enjoy the phone now i cant see any gaps, going to take it to my samsung repair center next week as the S Pen is starting to get loose in the phone so it comes out slightly
dont have much luck do i.

dont have much luck do i.I've disabled Google Now again as even the update from KitKat still has the nlpwakelock battery drain. Over the course of a day it would partially wakelock thousands of times attributing around 20% of battery power for that session since charger disconnection.
I experimented by having just Google Now turned off but Location reporting left on to see if it was the dynamic cards causing it but that didn't help. Location reporting in Google Settings app needs to be off for nlpwakelock to stop being an arse.

I've not tried it but I'd imagine you won't see much impact.
According to Better Battery Stats, my Note 3 spends the majority of its time at 1.19GHz. The Power Saving mode will probably cap the max CPU state.
Mine has spent most of its time at 300MHz!
Code:
300 MHz (): 1 h 25 m 16 s 12.4%
422.4 MHz (): 4 m 47 s 0.7%
652.8 MHz (): 11 m 55 s 1.7%
729.6 MHz (): 3 m 9 s 0.5%
883.2 MHz (): 7 m 24 s 1.1%
960 MHz (): 2 m 29 s 0.4%
1.04 GHz (): 1 m 14 s 0.2%
1.19 GHz (): 46 m 46 s 6.8%
1.27 GHz (): 36 s 0.1%
1.5 GHz (): 9 m 26 s 1.4%
1.57 GHz (): 5 s 0.0%
1.73 GHz (): 14 m 40 s 2.1%
1.96 GHz (): 8 s 0.0%
2.27 GHz (): 6 m 22 s 0.9%
Deep Sleep (): 8 h 15 m 59 s 71.8%
