I hope they make it clear which model you get. I can see a lot of confused customers! Should have just called it a 7855/7860!.

According to anandtech you can convert any reference 7950 to the boost version with this BIOS:

This boost (bios) is a good move and is welcomed by most people that do not overclock or volt their reference cards, plus the addition of Auto Boost.

I want to see max Overclock or Performance potential of the GTX660 Vs the HD7950 before I make my Purchase, as should everyone else waiting for the GTX660 (of course price is important).

I think 7950,7870 and 7850 will reduce the price because of Gtx 660ti come out。From the permance test result， 660ti show really impressive。Maybe ur guys can try to buy a discount 7950 in september。

A good graphic card to make Overcloking, but u will need H2O or LN2 for up Mhz...
