and all i can say is 280w per 6970, +20% to power i need +10% just to keep the 950 clock from downclocking in metro 2033 and BC2, at +20% i can get 1000 core stable with a volt bump but total draw per card hits around 320w peak, 320 320 200 on an overclocked Phenom II at 1.55v 840w not hard to figure it out 6950s might have more of a limitation do to 2 6pin PCIe and power circuitry being a tad bit different, much like some overclocked lower tier cards matching or exceeding the performance of others at lower power usage, example 6970 Twin Frozr III using 30-40w less but being clocked much higher. also depends on the card / chip, my cards suck power and get hot quick. eitherway dosent matter i know how much power my system draws and its more then i like but meh i dont run full bore that often as i dont really need the power, and overclocking the phenom II i have dosent fix the bottleneck it causes for my gpus.
