If you look at any review, you don't see them adding additional volts to a card do you?

The toxic editions of the 5870s cards which have better than average cooling, higher volts still only hits a 975. In addition they are significantly more expensive than their plan jane counterparts.

If you look at reviews, 1000mhz OC on the 5870 are rare.
You do realize stock voltage is variable...
