To clarify, are you saying the 6950 memory isn't capable of running the 6970 timings that get flashed to it via the bios?

OR

Are you saying that the 6950 keeps its memory timings and when the 6970 clocks are applied it gets slightly buggy?

I'm assuming there is no way to alter the memory timings manually...
The memory chips are binned different on the two cards, some peoples cards have issues running the higher speeds and tighter timings of the 6970 bios. It's all a little hit and miss like with any overclocking.

It's possible to just unlock the shaders and keep everything else standard.
