    ASUS 7970 DCII owners - tell me this isn't true

    Swapped in a 7970 DCII for my 6990 yesterday to power my 5x1P setup. Very happy to see the back of crossfire. My only issue now is I can't increase the volts on this card at all. Idles at 1.09v and under load drops to 1.06 to 1.03v depending on the load put on it (as measured with GPU-Z and...
