Well my card is fubar'd. I initially replaced the bios with the 6970 bios and kept trying to make it work. I then reverted back to the original bios and just did the shaders unlock. I have to mention that while I had it overclocked, I kept the fan speed at 100% to minimize the chance of ruining...

I have an update regarding my Sapphire 6950 modding. So I used the utility posted by W1zzard and I can confirm that it all works properly. I am using the maximum gpu and memory clocks that overdrive will allow and so far no artifacts or crashes. Thank you rui0317 and W1zzard!

I am also looking forward to RUI0317's utility. If it works, I will gladly donate some money for it.

Is DFI still around? I can't imagine so with their grossly over-priced motherboards haha. Lots of unnecessary features that I imagine were more hype than anything else.

Yep, I'm having the same issue.

Oh yeah I have done that no worries :D

Is there no fix for this?

I put it to 800.

I lowered the GPU clock to 800 and Mem clock to 1250. Those are stock 6950 settings. It makes no difference. Apps still crash.

Idle is around 38C but I cannot test the card under load because it will crash the app.

I cannot, ATI Overdrive minimum is 1375. I can't go any lower. Since I have the fan at 70% they are not bad. Idle is 38 and load.....I don't know since I cannot run any games or even FurMark.

Every game I run will cause the display driver to crash.

Yes. GPU clock is 880 and Memory is at 1375.

I just tried this and running 3DMark11 and the display driver crashed. 3DMark11 won't run.

Definitely.
