The new cards are all set to throttle down for furmark as its ruined cards even at stock clocks. There is no reason to use this app anymore as it won't show proper results.
Yep you can flash the extreme bios, but all it does is raise your base/boost clock. The problem is the extreme amp! is voltage locked as well atm. It seems to have been some kind of mistake to lock all the cards despite their marketing claiming to go above the 1.212v with the OC plus.
I got an 970 amp! omega, runs great! Overclocked to 1500core/8k memory without issue, and the fan is inaudible even on full load (temps stayed between 68-74c with fan at 60% in alien). No coil whine either, very happy!
Actually i've been reading forums about it and it seems that the provided DP cable is the problem. Buying a new quality one solved many many peoples problems.

Hey guys I keep seeing this screen popping up with this extra price/tag:
-W LED/BLU
But i cant seem to find much info about why and if this is better than a regular 950D. Is the price justified?
