Hmm...wonder if the enterprising crowd with figure out how to mod them to 7970 status like they did with the 6950 --> 6970? :)

Yeah, that would be neat, not much difference in them really ...

Just 2 x 6 Pin's ... the HD 7970's take a 6 & 8 Pin Connector ...

From looking at a few reviews unless they can figure out a way to use a 6 & 8 Pin connector on the card then no. They would need to do that plus figure out how to Enable the Disabled part of the Card ...


Meet AMD’s Radeon HD 7950

Physically, the Radeon HD 7950 is identical to AMD’s already-available Radeon HD 7970—save one distinguishing feature: a second six-pin auxiliary power connector. That’s a telltale indication of a sub-225 W maximum board power (75 W from the slot, plus up to 75 W from each plug). In fact, AMD rates the 7950 right at 200 W. In comparison, the Radeon HD 7970’s power ceiling is 250 W, necessitating its eight- and six-pin power connectors.
