For mining, it doesn’t make a difference, but he also said e wants to use it for videoediting… There it does make a difference.

Np, most people coming here would ONLY want to mine anyways ;)

Welcome to the forums Mindsnare, the 7950 is an excellent card for mining on. Probably still ‘the best’ card IMO. :P

Curious, do you have a ‘mac’ 7950 that’s in a lovely white? ~

You could try downloading the cgminer binary for Mac here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166877.0
and give it a try with the standard parameters.

BEWARE: the official FAQ says:

Q: Can I mine with cgminer on a MAC?
A: cgminer will compile on OSX, but the performance of GPU mining is
compromised due to the opencl implementation on OSX, there is no temperature
or fanspeed monitoring, and the cooling design of most MACs, despite having
powerful GPUs, will usually not cope with constant usage leading to a high
risk of thermal damage. It is highly recommended not to mine on a MAC unless
it is to a USB device.
