Which power cable for a sapphire AMD radeon 7950 3GB video card for Mac pro?

Can someone show me which power cable is needed for the 7950 Video Card for the Mac Pro? Also is the 7950 flashed so the Apple logo shows when you boot up?

Different manufacturers cards may have different power requirements.


You look at the input plugs on the card, and feed them according to what they demand.


--------

The 7950 is a graphics chip. Some cards based on it were manufactured with Apple firmware, some were not. Some variants of that specific card had a little switch on board. Some were deliberately modified after they were sold, and are no longer true to their original firmware.


You need the Seller to tell you, and you need to be able to trust the Seller to stand by their claims.
