6950 to 6970 flash thread

[Oztopher]

Yes, i flashed multiple bio files including Sapphire and the stock AMD 6970 bios they all behave in a similar manner. It boots fine but when i try any 3d app like ccc or msi, even gpu-z it just freezes the screen with some artifacts and then if i'm lucky the driver will recover and give a message about how it restarted, then if i try to do anything again the cycle repeats.

I have confirmed the card runs great when flashed back to the msi 6950 stock bios.

So, do i have the "golden shower" sample?

Most probably yeah. Download the 3.0.2 beta of trixx here:

That way you can go below CCC limits, to see if it's stable at 6950 clocks with the unlocked shaders.
