Depending on the 6950 you get, with overclocking the gpu and underclocking the memory you can get 400Mh/s.

My XFX 6950 with stock bios/unlocked shaders is currently running at 910/625 at 1.175V and I get ~401Mh/s

So, yeah, the 6950's are nice cards.  Wink

your fine on 800 watt system with two 6950s overclocked. I ran 3 6950s on a 850 watt power supply. I think ATI has been selling more 6950s on average than the 6970s. I have one 6950 with shaders unlocked gets about 355 mh/s and one with locked shaders gets about 333 mh/s so shaders matter imo. The only other differences between the cards is supposedly the 6970s have slightly better memory (not relevant to mining) they have a 6+8 pin power inputs and can draw more power from the PSU, which despite the extra power draw I can't find much difference in performance. The 6970s arguably have better cores for overclocking and can hit 1 ghz easier probably than a 6950 can. However I think if you can get your hands on an unlockable 6950 the price difference isnt worth it for a 6970 imo.
