I would use a GPU stress test program instead of benchmark tests to test the crash issues.

 

Furmark is a good one, there are others too...

Not had a single Blackscreen since raising the voltage by +30 with  Sapphire's software  TRIXX  

 

Still not happy about the overall longlevity of its stability. Awaiting Mantle  and Driver 14.1 at the end of Jan till I try the card on stock again. 

 

Furmark tested for an hour approx and have run BF4 and Metro LL with great success.

Quick update.

 

Sapphire have advised me to RMA the card via Overclockers UK, which is good news for me. They said that the 13.12 driver from AMD should have fixed all Blackscreening issues and that there must be an additional fault with the card. 

 

Which to that I say "No shit Sherlock" 

 

Will be hoping for a swift replacement and a happy gaming from then onwards
