Interesting that it looks so similar to the 7970. Still excited to see the performance!
 
Since when did power supplies start having 8 pin power connectors? Mine as I know it; has only 8 six pins and the 2 four pins that plug into the board This PSU is new since fall 2010! I'll try not to panic :p
 
Most all pci-e connectors are 6 pin solid with 2 pins that are separated and can be hooked together to make a 8 that's for pci-e.

Some power supplies also come with 2x4 pins that go together to make a 8 for the motherboard and some come with both 4 pin and 8 pin one piece power for motherboards not to be confused with the pci-e connectors.
