Gather round for my Ebay tale of woe.
I recently sold a Sapphire 6950 and the buyer has now asked to return it, claiming the voltage 'drops too low' when monitored through MSI Afterburner. I used the card for two years and never had a stability problem when gaming, etc, so I suspect he simply isn't happy with its overclocking performance. I never tried to overclock it and didn't check the voltages before selling.
Should the voltage on a card be steady under load? If I have sold on a sub-standard card, I'll take it back, but if it isn't a real problem I will advise him to sell it to someone else if he isn't happy.
