As we both said, there is nothing in a CFC card that *could* cause that.

The point is: if you have a *D*FC, it needs to operate the same as the
system's PFC - and if the DFC is less capable (like: DFC is 3B, PFC is
3C-XL) the system will fall down to the lowest common denominator (like: 3B).

This will not ever happen with CFC cards, so there is nothing to worry
about - but if you still do: the command you used is the command used
to check system operation mode.
