Thanks I just added to all of the profile I had in there and seems to be working great.
The only issue now is how to raise above CCC clock limits in crossfire.
Cheers

Unwinder posted about not using CCC overdrive in conjunction with AB... meaning the power control is should not be used due to compatibility issues.Quote:

if you want to up the limits it ABQuote:

Its in the AB install directory
I think it stops the card from lowering clocks while in 2d mode though.

but something seems incompatible still
I have reset to lower value and running 950/1450 for now.
Thanks for the assistance.
U have to change power settings in registry. Enable ULPS = 0 if not it will crash every change u make.Quote:

But I have problems using 1.3V, got a freeze or drivers resets when it's loading 3dvantage, with 1.275V no problem. but 1.275v doesn't work with 3dm06, I have to use 1.25V ...:(

Guys thanks that did the trick.. I am able to go beyond CCC values and adjust V now.Quote:

Just flashed my 6950 ~ 6970..... it runs but I am getting random pixels at the start of 3DMark! If I increase the power thingy in CCC it gets worse so will leave that allone. Looks like the card wants the powerplay removed from the BIOS as once the bench has been running for a few seconds its perfect & completed the bench. It also furmarks fine.
I have read through this thread & will try the afterburner mod to up the voltage but would still appreciate suggestions.
artifacting is usually caused by too high memory clocks. try dropping them. Adding voltage to the core won't help the memory.
Anybody got the Diamond 6970 bios ? 925 Mhz on the Core per default would be nice enough for me, so no additional tools necessary.
Looks like it may be a bad card, still the same with stock BIOS, Fresh install + SP1 & 11.1a hotfix drivers.Quote:

sooo... anyone got the new 6950 1gb cards ?
are the shaders locked ?
it worked for me, i have 2 msi 6950 flashed to 6970 both overclocked at 950c and 1420 mem, and have not had a single problem yet, and the scaling is awesome right around 80% for me.
1 card 72 frames on Heaven
2 cards 117 frames on Heaven
The 6 series out bench the 5 series hands down I see .

ps. I was getting strange core clock fluctuations while testing in furmark until I raised the power setting to +20.

Flash success report, Vertex 3D HD6950 2GB to a HD6970. Used the Sapphire reference BIOS :up:
Purchased a Sapphire 6950 from NewEgg today along with a third monitor. Can't wait to get the card in and try this out :D
succesfully flashed HIS 6950 2GB to 6970 using VigVoodoo's instructions for a friend.

Water block is in the mail, will report back on clocks.
Does enabling unoffical overclocking in Afterburner mess up powertune? I think that I remember hearing people mention that in the past. I've been pretty lazy with overclocking this card and am trying to figure out the best way to go about doing so. It's too bad that I can't just flash the clocks and voltage that I want onto the card.
Having artifacts show up in my windows aero interface :(
EDIT:
Flashed with the MSI Bios, set my Voltage to 1.285, Core Clock to 925, and Memory Clock to 1375. This resolved my artifacting on the desktop, but haven't tested anything 3D yet.
GPUTool has TONS of artifacts... I am disappoint :( No problems with stock bios though. Getting late, will attack this again tomorrow...
That is a really high voltage isn't it?Quote:

My recommendation will be for you to follow the following flashing procedures...

Much safer!
You must have been reading my mind, that was what I was planning to do today when I got home.Quote:
