When I connect my 4K Philips display on boot to flashed HD7950 card it simply refuses to boot.

If I disconnect the 4K display and connect it right after booting then everything works fine. What's the reason for this? All works fine on HDMI and DVI.

I have the same issue. It has to do with port mapping and the type of kludge work that flashing a card actually is. Card designs are slightly different and usually there is a single GPU ROM that people keep using for all 7950 cards.

Display Ports never work for me regardless of boot/plug sequence. However, the HDMI port works flawlessly up to 4K, but only at 30Hz refresh rate.
