Truth is that they are not suitable for mining.

Even if you could mine some coins you would not make any profit, in fact you pay for mining.
2x7950 GX2 draws 284 watts.

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Nvidia GF7950 GX2 is GARBAGE
He assumed you were talked about the Radeon 7950 3GB since it has the “7950” in its name also.
Get the 7950 second hand for like $75.
Or get a 7850 for like $25. Both are fast with ZEC.
