AMD Radeon 7950 Flashed ?

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.

Depends 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.

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 🙂
