Maybe that's their ace in the hole. AMD has given users very powerful cards for a lower price, and yet nvidia has to compete with it using their "hard locked" cards.

Good Game indeed AMD. Very good game.
It looks like they are,but not exactly,6950 uses different memory chips.If people are having stability issues,chances are it's because of memory,but the fused off cores could be at fault as well.


And to people saying that later cards ,will not be unlockable, if we look at AMD CPU's they never started to lock them,chances are they won't lock these as well


And tests have been done,did you guys actually read the link in the OP ? The performance increase is there.
