HD6950 has PCI-e 6+6pin connectors, so <=225W, HD6970 has 6+8pin connectors so <=300W.

HD6870 has 6+6pin and is <150 in real powerdraw. I would guess from that that HD6970 is ~210-230W. Think about what 50% more power gives you in performance compared to Barts..
Another good way to look at it. Been awhile since AMD took a chance. Hoping they go all out and bring a real enthusiast powerhouse since this was originally meant for 32nm.
