weird problem Hi all, i encountered a weird problem: i changed my system from AMD Crosshair V 990FX mainboard (with Phenom X6 1055T) to a MSI Z68 GD45 Gen3 (PCI 3.0 ready) with Intel Xeon 1230v2 cpu. so far so good, but when i install my Sapphire 6950 2GB (purchased ~dec.2011 and immediatly...

Hi, i have my card running now since dec. 2010, full bios flash with original 6970 bios. but its watercooled, so i cannot say anything about temp rising. card runs overclocked 950/1500mhz at ~1.20v without any problems...on eyefinity setup. that card was best bang for bucks ever.

i think the maximum temperature junction is around ~100°C for the 69xx (e.g. the new intel core i5/i7 32nm have a maximum of 98°C) if you reach this temp, the innercore structures will be destroyed. so you are still "far" away...

sorry, i cannot follow your statement: i run my 6950@6970 at 950/1500@1.17volt w/o any stuttering (tested with metro 2033, crysis, anno 1404, settler 7 with SSAA). the only thing you have to do is adjust the fan profile manually so that the core temp of the flashed 6950 does not get above 65°C...

glad to see that you fixed your Crossfire issues: i had two 6950`s @6970`s installed either this weekend and sometimes weird thinks happening: e.g. Grant Theft Auto 4 flickers all the time in menues and refuses to adjust any resolution or quality settings in game. Alien vs. predator DX11...

yes, rma the card: if it is really buggy at stock bios with flash videos, than the card has a serious (cooling?) problem (of the ram chips?)

the screens look like to me if the card is to much overclocked (especially RAM overclock)? if not, than i would say sorry, but your unlocked shaders are defective, i really doubt that these artefacts like you show in the screens come from corrupt dx11/any other software...usually if...

hi, can you say already which voltages will be tweakable (only VDDC and VDDCi as on the hd5870 series) or will there be also a Vram voltage tweakable (as some custom made pcbs of hd5870 allowed it, e.g. MSI lightning hawk edition i think, or asus ROG matrix).... thanks

yeah, same experience with my sapphire hd6950@6970 here, sometimes fan spins up while in windows 2D idleing, and when trixx is running, CCC only shows PT and fan only. i think that drivers and tools have to mature, than all this minor problems will have gone...the card is only ~2weeks available...
