What memory has your 290x/290 got

My Sapphire 290 has Elpdia memory, overclock on the memory seems to have less performance boost than on other cards I've had its only worth 1-3 fps from 1250-1400 so seems like getting the most out of the core is best.
 
I have the sapphire 290x(bf4 edition), mines hynix.
I've not had the black screen issue when gaming but then I've not really tested it too much yet. I do get black screen when trying to run BioShock I infinite after having already run a game(e.g. I ran borderlands 2, then tried running BioShock it froze on the black screen).
I've not tried ocing yet.

DO NOT run this, it's clearly a virus.

If its the same file I downloaded the other day from the link in the 290x owners thread then it's not a virus, I scanned it with kaspersky 2014(I have the internet suite).

Same here, also have a Sapphire 290X with Elpdia memory. Capable of 6000 using the Asus ROM and GPU Tweak, but would black screen in BF4 (only).

Waiting on the new AB with unlocked voltages to see what my card is really capable of.
