I currently have an intel 680i mobo that has 2 PCI-E x16 slots. I'm currently using a 5870 in the top slot, but I'm planning to get a 5970. Due to my case and motherboard slot positions, the 5970 will not fit into the case on the top PCI-E slot. Will using the 5970 on the lower PCI-E slot be problematic? EVGA tech support said single cards "MUST be put into the top slot." Just curious if they're just covering their own asses, or is it really a problem?
