so after all i did manage to use this physical mod to flash my sapphire 9650 1gb.
i used rbe to set the shaders to 9670. saved the new rom.
used winflash and i said flash was ok!
unfortunately i still only see 1408 shaders instead of 1536 :(
reddie007: thanks a lot for the detailed information. i will try the flash later and then report here if it was successfull.
i will probably use RBE and create a modified BIOS myself.
thanks for the info. you dont happen to have a link to this other forum?
also let's say i try it with RBE. extract the bios, unlock the shaders and reflash. and then it fails, will my card be broken or will it just not work?
this is the card btw:
hello, i would like to flash my sapphire 6950 to a 9670 using the BIOS as many have done already.
the only thing is that i have a 1GB version and on this page only BIOSes for 2GB cards can be found...
