What's the current version of the MSI 7950?

Hey guys, so I pulled the trigger and got another 7950 which doesn't seem all that better, ASIC is 58 so I'll see what that translates to with voltage drop. Thing I noticed is that on the PCB, it's stamped version 1.0. Is this the new revision of the 7950 or not? The code on the page is 276-031, the one on mine is 276-033. My mate picked one up (from a different site) and his says v277 (MSI says that his is the latest version as well), so I assume that's the latest version? I'm confused right now as to which card is the newest one and why Overclockers says that the 276-03x is the newest revision... Anyone care to help me out?

Cheers!

Edit: Voltage drop is pretty bad. It's on the default 1.25V and drops as low a 1.13V. No crashes but that's just whack. I'm really in a bind as to what to do now...

are you having any issued with the card?
i had a card with an ASIC of 58 it overclocked like a dream. had others higher than they were no good.
Ive got the msi 7950 twin frozr no issues with mine.

not sure what your question actually is though...

Sorry! tl;dr OcUK say the 7950TFIII they have is the latest version (276-033, product page lists 276-031)) but MSI and a few other shops disagree (277-019). Issue is the voltage drop is massive under load, this is the 2nd 7950 I've got from OcUK and both drop almost .1V under load. The v277 that my mate has doesn't do it, both the v276's I have do.
