Yes.  Many chip vendors bump the revision field 'often'.  Just how
often varies from chip maker to chip maker.  Some do only when they
have a new version of the chip that needs special work arounds (or
that no longer needs them :-).  Others do change it for each change to
the silicon.  Most are somewhere inbetween.

: The subdevice id for a rev.3 card seems to be 0x0024 (subvendor 0x1737).
: I don't own a rev. 2 card but google says that the rev.2 card has
: subdevice id 0x0015 (subvendor 0x1737).

That might be sufficient...
