Their third card actually looks like mITX one. It would be cool to put it in something like lian li tu100 and have a really small pc that can handle BF4 @ Ultra, +60fps The EXTREME version was born to be in a beastly modded pc.

So non-binned means that it can be less stable at higher oc?

GV-N970WF3OC-4GD and GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD Its obvious that the first one doesn't have a back plate and clocked a bit lower. But is there any other difference?

I want to upgrade my PC with R9 280(w/o X), cause in my local store they are cheap. But will it support DX12 or i should pay 50Euro more and buy a R9 285 for DX12 compatibility? And the second question: What is the difference between DX11.1 and 11.2? Tnx for answers

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers Thanks a lot for that great job that you are doing! About an year ago I've looked inside my pc for the first time, and with your help i built an another one. That was a great exciting experience. Let your way to the next goal will be smooth

Faceman, my gpu runs at stock speeds for r9 290 - 947/1250 core/memory. And i used kombustor to bypass cpu bottleneck (dx11 games cant stress gpu due to weak cpu). Also Mantle almost doesnt care about cpu power and they both (BF4 with Mantle and Kombustor) cause the same problem.

Bubblewhale, its not. After restarting pc it looks ok untill next stress situation. xNeon, I'm NOT OCing Tnx, Mateyyy Actualy when running Kombustor, Afterburner shows 947Mhz Coreclock, 150Mhz Memory (in 3Gb memory burn too) - i dont think that memory frequency matters. Actually i think that it happens in EACH GPU stress situation, but due to CPU bottleneck only Mantle and Kombustor can stress GPU enough...

My system specs: FX 8120 processor ASRock 970 Pro3 Mobo 8Gb 1333Mhz memory (its a limit for mobo) 750w 80+bronze psu (Aerocool templarius 750w) Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce (@947-1250) I have my R9 290 for about a month. Problem appeared two weeks ago when i was playing BF4 with Mantle. Now if i'm playing BF4 with mantle more then 10-20mins it will freeze so i can only "end task" it. If i exit from BF4 before it happened then my display driver crashes (like on the first picture) and i can only press restart button on the chassis. I tried to install/reinstall latest drivers, OS (win8.1/7 SP1), make power limit higher in Afterburner. It looked like the problem was in mantle (BF4 and all other games ran normally with DX11), but then i decided to stresstest my GPU in Kombustor. I saw some green and red lines on my screen (which normally mean that driver will crash after 2-3 seconds), but they just disappeared. Right after that when i clicked on the video icon in youtube display driver crashed again (second picture). I was running my GPU @stock when it happened and it never runs hotter than 81C (Kombustor - 78max). So the question is wheres the problem? I mean which piece of hardware? Cause it appeared when i was just playing BF4- i didnt update or download anything.
