I also saw this mentioned in a review done by somebody over at Overclockers... but I also have noticed that I could not get the Sapphire Redline tweaking utility to recognize my 5970.
I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate, and that added some problems of its own.
For one thing, the download is a .zip. Once extracted, you have a .msi file.
Double-clicking the .msi file runs the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe if I remember correctly). In fact, if you look at the processes running you can see that it spawns a 32-bit version of the msiexec.exe and the 64-bit version. Until you manually close one of those 2 (I don't remember which), the installer does nothing... once you do, it extracts the files in the .msi.
In the end, you are left with an installed .exe and some other support files. Running that .exe (even in Admin mode), tells me that my card is not supported.
If anyone has figured out how to work around this, please let me know. I was really hoping to be able to use this utility to push my clocks to those of the 5870, giving me essentially the coveted 5870x2 equivalent (for my 5970).
