Does this 7950 support voltage control?

Something happen to the 470s? I did have a 7970 similar to this 7950, and as far as I remember, it did support overvoltage. Not entirely sure about this particular one, though.

Yeah I think my nephew managed to kill it on me yesterday, shorts out when I put one of the 6 pins in I think it's gone - RIP.

Also how fast can an overclocked 7950 turn a bitcoin, once a week?
 
I bought one last week. It's voltage unlocked, runs cool and quiet, and mine overclocks fairly well.
The cooler is a step above reference but maybe not quite Asus dcii or accelero level.
I've owned a accelero and a dcii before as well and this is just a hair below performance wise but for the price I'm not complaining one bit.
 
Its a good deal, hop on it, especially if you need a new card!
 
Nobody thinks another card would be better?

Is the TF3 voltage locked now?

Zero hour is nearly at hand, approval is currently being negotiated with the master.
 
Thanks for the help guys.

lol "Nvidia fanboy"... are you water cooling this? How fast you can turn bitcoins depends on how fast you want to run the card. My 3 Lightnings at 1175 MHz hash roughly 2 GHash, which is about 1 coin every 4-5 days at current difficulty, mining almost all day unless I'm gaming. If you run your card around 1100 MHz, that'll hash roughly 550 Mhash, which is around 1 coin every 20 days at current difficulty, but that's close to 24/7. You're probably looking at around 1 coin a month I think.

No plans to water cool this one, I'm actually planning to go with a mini itx build in a small form factor with haswell. I just had to accelerate what I've been planning for a while due to, fate I guess. Bit more conservative, I won't be modifying any cards or reference coolers this time.

Thanks for the info on bitcoins, I guess things have changed a lot since I last looked into it. 20-30 days woof, hopefully the price keeps going up in the meantime.

Welcome to the dark side Balla enjoy your new card :biggrin:

Hopefully it stays frozen so I can do some decent benching!

I can't wait for your honest impressions of the so called lack of smoothness on the 7xxx series. Enjoy the card

I've been monitoring my own for awhile, so I should have a pretty good reference point.

I must say, that's a pretty damn nice price, especially with two free games, wow. 😵

Price is actually pretty high, I could have gotten a lower end Sapphire model with the bundle for $270 AMIR, this one was $309 /w rebate plus newegg gouged me on shipping 🙁

It's no Flaminyon, but sometimes you have to go with the Rib eye or Porterhouse instead.
 
🙂 I think you will enjoy the card. I want to say the new 7950 TF3 cards are coming with two six pins now on the MSI 7950 PCB - Stock Voltage should be 1.25v clocks 960/1250. I know the 7970 PCB MSI cards has the best binned chips compared to others, not sure about the new ones? SpineJam on here has seen many of the TF3's do 1150+ on the core. Your faster than a GTX 680 and 7970 GE at that point. The cooler is usually the limiting factor on overclocks, well at least for me.

There is a guy on OCN with the version 2 of this card benching Valley @ 1340/1890!! That's with the AIO mod, but still that's really impressive.
