wow this is awesome! congrats your chip is golden

[lowfat]

Very interested on seeing if more of these cards can unlock successfully.

Isn't Device ID # wrong ? 6970 should be 1002-6718 and 6950 1002-6719.. it would be better to see before-after performance results at same frequencies..

I have an HIS 6950 in the mail so I can test this out once it arrives. Does this mean that the 6950 is just a crippled 6970?

[easyrider]

Will this work with a Sapphire 6950?

[Bodkin]

Old 3d mark score was x1100

New 3d mark score is x1789

Clocks are the same, as far as I can tell it works, seems there is no laser cut

Its a HIS 6950

Btw guys, i get artifacting in ati tool scanner, quite badly. But in all the benchmarks i've run i haven't seen any

My 6950 never artifacted in the scanner. I tried lower clocks, 6950 speeds, still artifacted. But i haven't seen any in game

[flopper]

Artifacts in 3D mode for me.
powercolor 2 cards.

[Bodkin]

Getting artifacts too, but the card flys along in game :S

When are you getting atifacts?


Did you put your switch on position 2 to keep the original bios?

[Bodkin]

Only getting artifacts on atitool 3d scanner, nothing else, furmark is fine. Bios 2 is the backup so flashed bios 1

What about GPUTool stability test? Could you please test with GPUTool?

[Bodkin]

Run for 5 mins so far, seems fine!

[Bodkin]

15 min mark and its still not artifacting

[Hicksetto]

15 min mark and its still not artifacting

That's great! Thank you!

I just ordered a 6950

I have no self control rofl

[Alucard-]

I flash my sapphire 6950 and it worked gained about 100pts in 3dmark11 clock for clock

[Neova]

Any artifacts?

[easyrider]

[Bodkin]

[ZoLKoRn]

Yah that scale closed with my running on 3dmark 11 too about 100pts, looking to approve for all

[Oztopher]

Ran it for a good 10-15 minutes as well, no artifacting. I remember it being a good tool to test my 4890 core with, but same with ati tool gpu tool tester is hotter though, more on terms with furmark etc.

rofl! i've already put the card in the shopping cart (232,99€, from powercolor), but didn't check out yet. artifacting with the atitools artifact scanner doesn't sound too good
