    Club-3D Radeon HD 6950 1GB unlocked and flashed but still 1408shaders?

    Seems like your card cant be unlocked, i had the same problem with my gigabyte 6950 1gb. There are 1gb versions that can be unlocked(i saw screens), but we are unlucky.

    Gigabyte 6950 Windforce 3x Unlock

    Gigabyte 6950 Windforce 3x Unlock

    After you booted up with new bios did you need to reinstall your drivers ? EDIT: It seems that my card has modified voltage by default, its showin 1.175 under load on default bios instead of 1.1 so i think i dont need to raise my TDP for the card to work properly :) I'll be flashing again and...

    I have never tried to flash my card with a 6970 bios, that would be stupid.

    Gigabyte 6950 Windforce 3x Unlock

    I will try it when i get home, i just have 1 more question, lets say that i succeed and i will get the 1536 shared count...somewhere i've read that after unlocking i need to raise my TDP in drivers to about 10% bcoz addiitional shaders need some additional power to work properly, is that true ?

    Gigabyte 6950 Windforce 3x Unlock

    I was not talking about my vram, i was talking about shader count in my GPU, after i modified bios GPUZ is still showing 1408 instead 1536, that is my problem. Any solution ?

    Gigabyte 6950 Windforce 3x Unlock

    I dont think its the problem, gpuz should still detect new shader count on reboot So u say my gpu is not a reference one but a custom job ? Damn...i bought a crippled card :( such a shame...

    Gigabyte 6950 Windforce 3x Unlock

    OK, lets revise. I started this program colled RBE v1.28, i used the acquire bios button to download original bios from my card. Then i went to the additional features tab and i've hit the 6970 shaders mark. THEN i went back to acquire flash window and i pressed the "Flash BIOS" button. My bios...

    Gigabyte 6950 Windforce 3x Unlock

    From what you said i assume that my card is 100% moddable and i dont have to be afraid ? Just asking to be 100% sure and dont do anything stupid. (i understood that the gpu is the same and it should have the same number of shaders as 6970 but i just bought it yesterday and im uber scared)

I am asking bcoz some ppl say that its not a...
