First of all let me say welcome to hexus

Secondly please check the following link as this shows all the motherboards which have been tested and this also shows which ones require a certain BIOS for the cards to function correctly.

Just be aware that this is a 7900GX2, the original on which the 7950 was based. There are already a couple of threads about this on the forums. Look here for more info.

If you check the product information, it explains that this a bit better.

Read the thread I linked, it's all explained there. Yes, it's a good deal as the x16 SLI 7900GX2 is probably marginally superior to the x8 7950GX2.

ye I think you're right tbh, all the world records will be set with the 7950 tho :S since it is cooler and so can clock better

If you read then linked thread you would realise the scan 7950/psu offer is actually the 7900gx2 however with the latest nvidia drivers the 7900gx2 is recognised as a 7950 which is why scan are advertised as such. however the card in the scan offer is the 7900gx2 which is ALOT longer than the 7950 (the card scan have on offer is 12" long so you might want to check your case can fit it) and doesnt has HDCP encryption that the 7950 has.

Just so you know...

[spazman]

Not too long for my case

[day187]

What case do you have i have the stacker 830 there is no chance of getting it in there

[charleski]

My aging Supermicro SC760 is perfect for it and has space for internal watercooling as well .

[Ben_]

boo

its going into a p180 if it doesnt fit i will kill kill kill

[day187]

That is a big case
i love my stacker and i'm not going to change for a gfx card so i.m stuck with either crossfire or a 7950GX2 i need to decide as i need to get this conroe up and running by weekend.

Goodluck trying get it in the p180 my mate as a p180 and we only just about got an ATI x1900xtx in there.
