Posted on: 01/23/2013 12:24 PM The photos of the PCB don't match up. Some of them show power connector with 6+8 and others show 8+8. Confusing with the photos. I don't know what the PCB really looks like.

Alk	Posted on: 01/27/2013 08:53 PM You do realize that there are two graphics cards being reviewed here? As the review states the 7970 has the 8+8 connectors and the 7950 has the 6+8, how hard is that?
