Sapphire 6870 card issues?

[achillez]

I purchased two 6870's and installed them on separate machines for bitcoin mining (I know - not efficient... but it's a start). The odd thing is that Catalyst says the max mem freq for the 6870 on one of the machines is ~600MHz, whereas for the other 6870 it's the expected 1050MHz (default) + 1200Mhz max. Has anyone experience a problem like this? Is it possible card with the <600MHz memory is bad?

thanks in advance

i would verify the catalyst readings with some other software(trixx and gpuz being two good choices) before jumping to conclusoins

thanks - I reinstalled my catalyst drivers, rebooted the system and now the card has the correct settings. guess something funky happened with my gfx profile
