    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Well the first question is which options are you clicking on when you remove from DCP? You gotta be careful, I've heard of people who've wiped out their AMD raid drivers which also get removed if you click on all the different ATI options. The thing is, if you are going from ATI to ATI you...

    HD6950 modded SLOWER than stock HD6950

    Did you try using a modded 6950 bios (same 6950 with unlocked shaders) instead of using a 6970 bios (different memory timings might be messing you up)

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    I think I wrote it wrong. I meant I am using a 6+2 on the outermost and a 6pin on the inner port. I am using 2 separate cables not a splitter and pulling from a separate part of the psu for both, not sharing with any other cables. But my point was whether using a 6+2 vs a 6pin really makes a...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    I just used a 2+6 on the outermost port since that's the one that the 6970 uses. I doubt it makes a whole lot of difference, is it the cable itself that allows more power to be drawn, or the receiving port?

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Yeah but what brand of psu? How many fans do you run? How many hard drives? Mechanical or SSD? What cpu? What games are you running? Nothing you say really says this speculation is useless, not enough info.

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    no dx11 support will make the 6950/70 much better even if u xfire. Next year's games like bf3 will have native dx11 support, but will also include 10 so it's not a total loss, but that's the problem with going with the super fast old cards.

    Probably better to do one at a time so you can test that both are working.

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    still a good question. I know the technical answer is yes, doing this could void your warranty, but let's say you mod it then revert both switches back to original, would they void it? Would they even know? Isn't that the whole reason there is a switch?
