Power Consumption, Temperatures and Noise
Power consumption on the newly updated HD 7950 is a little bit higher–23 watts by my testing. That makes sense as the card should much more frequently be in its highest clock (and usage) state, and should hit its target peak power consumption accordingly.
Temperatures stay pretty much the same though sound levels are a bit higher since the fan will be required to dissipate more heat more often.

This is AMDs new card????
This is AMDs new card???? SERIOUSLY?!?
So are they just going to keep re-releasing cards so that we forget about the 7990 they spoke about?
Why are they re-branding cards that still barely compete?
You just updated the firmware? How is this a GPU launch?
It is a 7950 refresh. New
It is a 7950 refresh. New 7950s will be coming out with boost functionality along with the standard/current versions. Somewhat like the 6950-to-6970 flashing, there is a possibility that you will be able to flash an existing 7950s to 7950s with boost.
So it's a new luanch in the sense that it will be a new retail product.

Can this one card be used to
Can this one card be used to drive an HD TV, and 3 monitors in or out of eyefinity? I want to display a TV on on screen and have 3 monitor computing, not hardcore gaming but along those lines. I don’t play many games, but I’m looking for a card that can do this. I currently run 3 heads off of a 6950/70 and run the TV off the z68 gigabyte iSSD mobo. THe current setup works, but I’m looking to upgrade…
has the new FW been used on
has the new FW been used on an xfx 7950 black edition card and worked? i considered tring it but a little scared to frie my card
So, as i infer, there is
So, as i infer, there is nothing much more other than the boost up in the clock speed to expect from the new Radeon HD. And if so, I dont think that its worth $349. The clock jump isnt that high from the previous ones and i dont feel any lag using the same fro Grid 2. It worked perfect.
