Default 7950 GX2 available on XFX's website

Check this out!

I just got a promotional e-mail from XFX with this link and a big picture of the 7950 GX2 :D

EDIT: Just found a review of this beast at Hexus.net and HardwareZone

This card, I bet it draws atleast 225w. So unless folks are running a decent PSU, add in a new PSU.

Back when I ran X1800XT Crossfire, whenevere I really started to puch my system OC wise, I got random lock ups and re-boots. At first I never imagined it was my PSU, it's a PC Power & Cooling 510w, I thought it was bullet-proof.
This next picture is a testimate of what dual graphics cards can do to a 229.00 PSU.

God damn, owned.
My 12v is at 12.7v according to SpeedFan.... :shock: Sometimes it jumps from 12.8 to 12.6v. This can't be right.
