What happened?:$
Running great here, what happened?
Random monitor disconnects on the DP monitors. (common issue)
Video driver will randomly restart causing whatever game im playing to go black and not refresh.
Monitors on DP port will flicker on and off, and then disconnect.
Tested system to see if it was unstable... and nope... my system is rock solid.
Rolled back driver to 344.11, and it fixes the disconnects as well as the restarting of driver.
Rolling back to 344.11, while I wait on a DP/DP cable...it was introduced in 344.48 but it wasnt as bad as 344.68
meaning i saw it less in the 344.48 where it was non existent in the 344.11/344.20

Went on forums to file the bug report and also saw its not just me with that disconnect issues.
And yes Adam, the first thing i do when i see problems like that is test my system.
I ran stability tests for 12 hours before going back to 344.11
On 344.11 i don't had any problems nor am i seeing any issues.
XiandreX what rev did you get it will be on the sticker on the outside of the box it came in.... on the same note Cerb dont they list it on the box anywere?Lets hope so for everyone's sake. On a side note, I think I am going to be sensible and leave it as boosting 1410 core using default volts and 7600 memory.
Temps stay nice and cool around 65-70 and I cannot hear fan.
Its a pleasure compared to my old card.

just tried and it works perfectly fine in 4k for me. using 344.16 drivers if that matters.Has anyone been able to get BioShock 1 (not infiinite) to work with DSR? As an older game on a newer system it has always been touchy for me -- requiring me to disable my creative card, switching to onboard sound AND running in compat mode (either xp or w2k). Game loads fine but when I try adjust the graphics to 3840x2160 it no worky. FWIW Bioshock Infinite is amazingly better with 4k DSR on a 1080p/60Hz panel -- much, much, much better, but can't seem to try out the original with improved gfx.

hmm I did not have to use compatibility mode.i FINALLY got it working -- seems to work just fine with my sound card enabled and all that AND 4k DSR but ONLY in Vista compatibility mode (and not vista sp 1/2/etc, just straight vista). But MY GOD does this game need a graphics overhaul, even in 4k DSR it's getting extremely long in the tooth. Turning off the 4k to just straight 1080p was even more painful.
Perhaps a re-release in 2017 for 10 yr anniversary ?? I would much prefer that over whatever stream of crap 2KGames will likely eventually do.

running a higher res is not going to make an old game look better. all its really going to do is get rid of aliasing for the most part. that is why I just laugh when people claim how much better games look at 4k. now dont get me wrong as games with bad aliasing can certainly look tons better but other than that the graphics look basically the same of course.
While I won't argue that DSR@4k (on a 1080p panel) makes ALL games look MUCH better, it does make ALL games better -- sometimes slightly and oftentimes dramatically. I have so far tried DSR@4k on:
Hitman Absolution -- major improvement on jaggies on character models, your suit lapels and tie are so much cleaner and not a zig-zag nightmare. Those funny disguises you can get into like the football mascot or whatnot look much much much better and more detailed.
Bioshock Infinite -- amazing improvement, extremely noticeable even passing the girlfriend test, char models VASTLY improved over the previous mess they were, weapons have much much cleaner lines, less jaggies on floor.
Bioshock 1 -- slight improvement and does give it a cleaner, crisper look with less jaggies but nothing groundbreaking, game is really starting to show its age
Metro 2033 Redux -- could not run in full 4k but able to do DSR at a lower res (still higher than 1080p) -- noticeable improvement with cleaner lines and char models
Don't think I've tried any other games but as noted every game showed some improvement and only the oldest game had the least improvement. And don't tell me it's just improved aliasing, as in both Hitman Absolution and Bioshock Infinite the game feels like a much crisper, more detailed, higher res game. My guess is the newer the game / higher res it was to begin with the greater the improvement.
A quote from someone else using DSR@4k for Bioshock Infinite:
"Just finished playing a Bioshock: Infinite session, about two hours worth ... all the while at 3840x2160 resolution on a 1440p monitor (Samsung S27850D) (... using DSR ) ...
And, I have to say, it looked pretty freakishly good.
Comes down to it, I think the whole DSR/downsampling thing is worth it if you can keep frame rates reasonable..."
How about some screens to show the difference?
I am seeing the same issues on 344.68 as well.
