What version of XFX 7970 did you have?
Did your XFX break down for you to need the lifetime?

I'm pretty sure it can't, well maybe Ghosts since that game is like 6 years old :)
I'll try to find something, but it's not going to be feasible without turning settings way down, remember that's...

Does anyone have a link to an articles where this card is being tested specifically in 4K resolution aka: "Ultra HD"?

My bad, maybe. But if you look at comparisons like http://cdn.overclock.net/c/c4/500x1000px-LL-c436885b_bf419204x.jpeg

I mean, I can play BF3 on...

I am still thinking of waiting for non-reference cards. It will probably be worth it considering how hot the card is in uber mode.
