Same here. I thought mine needed to be RMA'ed (which it was), but the 2nd (HIS) 7970 does the same thing. I have to say... while this card is great for Battlefield 3 over my GTX580, by far the nVidia cards are of higher quality in general. From the shoddy 2D (2.5D) performance of the AMD cards, to the as usual spotty drivers and slow driver releases... I can't wait for Kepler to be honest.
