6950 to 6970 flash thread

[easyrider]

Does it perform as well as a 6970 after the unlock?

yes

I'm getting artifacts in Heaven when I run at +20

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

6950 stock



6950 with 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

Hmm...maybe GPUZ is wrong because it report from device ID look at on device ID
list it still 6719 that is a ID for HD6950 but for Shaders i think it real increasing
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?
I got that with one card.

Likely the cards are luck of the draw as they didnt meet the criteria for 6970.

None.

I think I had the fan speed to low

Anyhow I did another run @ 20+ and had no issues although having the power on 20+ does nothing to improve things

@ 0%



@+20%

I figured out my artifact problem was that eq aa is not compatible with supersampling aa or leaving the enhance aa setting on . I guess there are still some driver bugs, and a new radeon pro with eq settings would help.

quoted for others.


Heaven works best for artifact testing (reliable without influence of AA/etc) i've found.. watch for the hull of the boat early in the benchmark (first couple minutes).

quote bump again. Some artifacting problems are driver issues probably, guys.
