Installed a new Sapphire 7970 in my main rig with a z77 UDH5 and Seasonic 650w Gold.
At idle the card runs at 97% activity and has extremely poor performance in gaming.
I tested the card in my secondary rig a z77 Extreme4 with a Seasonic 520 Bronze and the card runs fine.

The card was replacing 2x 6950 in SLI in my main rig.

The symptoms sounds like either a power, software, or motherboard issue to me, but I couldn't figure out what the problem is.

I want to buy another one and SLI them but think I should work this problem out before making the $$ commitment.
