true that, this is the true method of catching and winning over a 6970

I was one of the nonbelievers and still am that flashing a 6970 flash into a 6950 was a no no, first, just because its working fine doesnt mean its not degrading faster. unlocking the gpu and then OC'ING within the specs of 6950 can get you ahead. so now, even in reviews I keep seeing silly overclocks of like 930 on the core with 1.3v which is just amateur and laughable because you can reach those speeds on stock 6950 voltage.
