Got my new 7950 vapor-X to replace the coil whining WF3 7970. This card is massive! I took a pic comparing the two and a GTX 580 TFII that I have. Very happy with this card on first impressions, just popped it in now so I haven't benched...

You're good, those serve to strengthen the mounting holes and ensure good ground to the case. No harm done, that is their job.
