A couple thoughts:

- lower the GPU memory to 900.  I don't think you'll be able to do this with cgminer, you'll need to use MSI afterburner.  It'll make it run cooler and use less electricity.
- no need to specify vector or work size.  cgminer is smart enough to know what's best for your 7970s

I believe cgminer will default to -w 64 which is best for 7970's.

Thank you very much for your help and input.

I've just edited the settings as follows:

cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u username -p password -I 9 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 900

I set the Memory Clock to 900MHz in Afterburner before running cgminer with the above settings. Does everything look good now?

edit: getting 650 - 670 Mh/s on each card.

That's about the right speed for a 7970 at that engine speed.
