Dang, 1600mhz in a closed case running Battlefield 4, that is impressive overclockability. If this is true I will most definitely get one of these later this year with a pretty good factory overclock.

It's worth remembering that just because the chip/card can overclock to 1500 or 1600MHz, it doesn't really mean that it's a good idea. After all, If AMD has decided to launch those chips at <1300MHz it must be for a reason(s), and those may be higher costs for the cooling and power circuitry and of course, efficiency.

That said, have any of you looked at the GPU Clock of the GPU-Z screenshot that I posted earlier? Because if that's doable with just the reference PCB and cooler, it's a good sign for non-reference cards.
