looks to me like its showing 2D and 3D settings judging by the voltages being lower in 2 and higher in the other 2. just a guess tho.

Yeah, Actually I got all of them to 935 now, just running some tests.

Look at this anyone have an answer? This is really messing with my head. Can anyone else with only one X2 confirm they have the same thing happening to them?

No really I just have one HD3870X2 ahhh.

Well just look in the Vantage thread I should be top 15 under single ati cards if he updated it if not then like 16. By the way I just flashed it to default BIOS so I can OC in windows properly I'm going to run a Vantage right now at 950 right quick. By the way stock cooler:D

I think having AMD Overdrive run in the background is lowering my score.
