    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    File type association shouldn't affect how other applications interpret a file. However this doesn't mean there aren't any. In fact, no harm in trying. I know how crazy things I try when I exhaust all the possible solutions to solve a problem. And sometimes the solution may seem really crazy.

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    I did exactly as you said. Voltage controls were enabled, and I set the voltage to a fairly safe 1.175V. Though afterburner reported the voltage as 1.175V, GPU-z showed a constant 1.1V. It was probable that GPU-z might be reporting it wrong. So ignoring it I started a benchmark. I observed...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Either those GPUs they put in their cards are from a better yield, or they are trying to get a somewhat unfair advantage over their competitors. If not so then why don't others do the same thing? There must be an AMD requirement to prevent nonstandard configurations. Perhaps ASUS is too big to...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Default clock 890 MHz? Using a different ASUS BIOS then.

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    You confirm what I already suspect, and this is not good news to me. I am aware that these questions are asked from the beginning but no satisfactory answer is provided yet. So I gave it just another shot :) Nevertheless, though I had more than enough money for the topmost card, I have chosen...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    I have a similar problem, but that may be due to different usage of voltage registers on different cards. Some use VID3, some use VID4. That is why I cannot use the afterburner. I may try an MSI BIOS to see if that can be resolved that way. But, to be honest, I can't dare do it :)

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Thanks for the answer. Then it can increase TDP only by increasing the amount of current since as far as I remember, W=V*A. Right? Then it should not be a problem for the core because it is actually the same core as in an 6970 card. Next question is, what about the current supplied to memory? Is...

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    GPU-Z shows the VCC level always at 1.1V whatever power level I choose from the CCC power level setting. BIOS core voltage is 1.1V. But after I choose it to be at +20%, shouldn't it be 1.32V ?

    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Hi to everybody, and thanks to wizard, dave and all who contributed to this great forum. Ten days ago, I have got a Sapphire HD6950 2GB, and discovered this forum last week. Then first succesfully converted to 6970. I witnessed no problems though next day I was scared after reading some bad...
