ASUS HD6970 Voltage Tweak OC results@1015/1520MHz Stock cooling

[ZoLKoRn]

Hello All, this is quick tried with mine ASUS HD6970 Voltage Tweak on stock cooling well for voltage is asus smartdoc can adjust 1.5V max but i'm not sure it can true delivery same as setting because GPUZ and other can't report it, GPUZ only show 1.175V on full load so don't care about it let to see what it can do

Max GPU Clock@1015MHz and Mem@1520MHz



well for other benching i'll try again tomorrow, Thanks

Hi..

I saw the review of the overclocked Diamond 6970 XOC card and the performance increase is not worth the hassle for 1 - 2FPS increase in most situation..The 6970 OC volt mod is nice for DIY experience..

On the other hand the 6950 is just better value from every point of view.Overclocking the card you just get a 6970 and you remain with 70$ in the pockets and you actually feel the difference really..Just my opinion.The 6970 look to me like PHenom CPU.The "big" overclock just don't deliver the performance to be entuazistic about..

Hi, can you share the BIOS dump, please? Thank you.

[ZoLKoRn]

Already ! http://www.mediafire.com/?em9vt1j4vk48g9r

thanks ZoLKoRn, flashed it to my HIS card

before: after:

I've uploaded the version of ATIFlash I used to Mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/?cgl0st3ng21i1
or http://www.multiupload.com/QKSBG29TBH

I put the ROM and ATIFlash onto a bootable USB drive and booted from it.

First I backed up my cards original BIOS with the command:
atiflash -s 0 backup.rom

Next it needed unlocking so it could be flashed:
atiflash -unlockrom 0

and finally flashed with:
atiflash -p -f 0 asus6970.bin

Ahhh the ninja edit, I really appreciate your help guys, I will be giving this a shot. Been a rough 2 weeks so far with no real tools for these cards.

BTW: Awesome scores

Does the voltage tweak actually change the voltages, even though gpu-z says it's at stock? Is it increasing your overclocks? (by how much?)

[flopper]

Gee, now we need a asus 6950 bios

Don't sure i'm not serious for tried it but maybe about 60-70MHz stock
voltage from not increasing vgpu

Gee, now we need a asus 6950 bios

No problem again !, i'll upload for you later

Likely artifcating might happen unless they cut off in bios only but that is highly unlikely.
might be samples that didnt cut the 6970 criteria, and not lasercut which would suprise me.

fun anyhow

Enjoy guys : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9XOP68VM

[Bodkin]

Holy , my card unlocked too :O

[ZoLKoRn]

What do you mean for unlocked ? Flashed 6970bios to 6950card success ???

if yes i'll back to my benching table now for try it quickly

[Bodkin]

Yes, thats a 5950

[jeanjean15]

Yes, thats a 5950

Did voltage change too ?

[RaZz!]

if it's really possible to unlock a 6950 into a 6970, my headaches whether to buy a 6970 or 570 will vanish immediately and i'll get a 6950 instead

btw, why did nobody try that earlier? or was customization to the 6970 bios needed to get it to work?

[ZoLKoRn]

hehehe.... Flashed success now for mine Sap6950 to ASUS6970
and benching to checking for performance

[RaZz!]

grats!

let us know how's it going.

if it's working for you guys it looks like amd has some great yields with their cayman cores.
