I have one of these on its way to me and while I wait I have a question, as it is flashed what port will show the EFI boot screen, I ask because the card I use at the moment is flashed but only shows the EFI bootscreen via the top DVI port.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, beware of ebay flashed cards, I actually ordered couple of 7950s from different buyers lately, I needed some extra GPU power for a project and we were running everything on cMP towers. I ended up flashing almost all of the cards by myself. I even had a card which was not flashed but had an Apple logo stick on the card lol

Thanks for the warning, if the card works all well and good, if flashed and works then that will be a bonus
Card arrived today, all fitted and working, and it is flashed, just picked the first Mini Display Port and up comes the Apple LogoDepends on whether the seller knows what he is doing or not.
If he has chosen the right card, all ports will show a boot screen and work in OS X. If he didn't, maybe just a few ports will work at all.

Yey bonus it
