msi 7950 oc v2

[PorkPieCat]

can anyone shed light on this? seems there's a new version of the 7950 tf3 (presumably newer than the 7970 pcb update, since this new version has a different manufacturer code). i saw it pop up today on 2 competitor sites, one of them priced it at the same as the old version, while the other priced it almost 20% more... i'm guessing it's just a revision but could it be the updated bios version?

(sorry, can't link competitors but they're the only ones who mention this new product)

edit: manufacturer code is "R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 V2/OC" as opposed to "R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5 OC"

I am 99% sure it will just come with a newer boosted BIOS.

it seems to even have the same clockspeed. but your probably right, it boosts to something higher most likely...
