Why did I get that silly 6870? It's straight to Ebay for that card...
@Rattle - my self control might be similar, LOL!

I wonder if artifacts are due to different timings on the RAM chips (since they use different chips on the 6950'ies and 6970'ies and certain circumstances may "break" certain cards RAM?). And don't forget to increase Powertune to 20%+.
does RBE support the 6900s yet? time for some BIOS modding regarding memory timings ;)
Yesss..... next step waiting for RBE :DQuote:

So we have a pretty decent success rate here, after flash it is the same card as HD6970? AMD is going to be very very mad :D

I've finished my first vga unlock/flash. I have an Asus 6950 and used the Asus 6970 bios.

1. When I run Heaven after 30 seconds it hangs. Do I have to change settings in CCC? <-- I've reinstalled Heaven and the problems are gone!!
2. In GPUz 0.5.0 it says that I have a 6950. Is that correct? My shaders are 1536 :confused:
Hmm...maybe GPUZ is wrong because it report from device ID look at on device IDQuote:

you can checking with 3D bench
btw. hangs after 30sec maybe your gpu/mem can't running on HD6970 clock speed
try reduce little speed and benching again if it still hangs maybe you a one of
bad luck
Cheers ;)
any in windows at idle?Quote:

Likely the cards are luck of the draw as they didnt meet the criteria for 6970.
very good news for all 6950
I've reinstalled Heaven and the problem (hanging) is gone :)Quote:
