Bank it.
When I bought the things, I hadn't had a new video card since BFG 6800 OC Ultra. A factory OC card with a little better performance than reference. Cost about $600 back in 04. So when I decided to build a new rig, 680 Lightning had just come out. So I just bought a factory OC card that seemed to have a little better performance than reference. Cost about $600, but I wanted to try SLI. The 6800 was the last of the AGP cards.
I didn't even know about voltage control, but thanks to the tireless efforts of posters griping about not having it, I became aware. And of course I resented not having it, even though I wasn't even sure I'd need it. I'd paid for it at any rate.
So I took every opportunity to gripe about it in as many posts on as many forums as I could. Oh wait. I didn't do that. I just waited until a definitive answer could be had, and if MSI couldn't deliver, I'd complain to them, not pounding my keyboard bloody on the internet.
Not much drama there, probably why I'm not much good at this forum thing.

Software voltage is a fairly new thing, very few nvidia cards ever had any kind of voltage control until the 400 series, up till then it was pretty much all hardmodding. AB 2.2.3 probably won't have enough voltage to cook cards, MSI doesnb't really want lots of RMAs so tends to limit the max voltage to fairly safe limits in public releases (I say fairly safe because someone will probably manage to do damage).

GnarlyCharlie is more like sarcastic comic relief, complaining about complainers (really must not be used to the forum thing
)
