nice... let know whats your max stable overclock ;)

congrats to the unlock, good to hear that at least some of the new cards are still able to unlock.. where+when did you buy it exactly? I bought mine at Czech republic, 2 months ago, no luck unlocking the shaders. For your high voltage, the gpu-z doesnt display it right. Download latest...

another idea: try to swap the card to different PCIE slot... if any chance, I'd try in another computer.. simply missing the point, why it would not work ??? are you able to save the bios from the card at all? just to ensure the atiwinflash/atiflash can communicate with that card at all?

u sure that you have the bios switch in the right position? (the other bios is not flashable) I'd try usb stick with dos and atiflash (not atiwinflash). other than that, I am out of ideas :(

0 is the adapter number; if you would have 2 cards in the system, the one in the first PCI_E would be the 0 , the other one would be 1 try if atiflash can comunicate correctly with your card (-i 0 = to display information abt the card) integrated mobo cards are often not valid cards for...

I was able to overclock that Sapphire to 960Mhz on core, which was way way much better than any 2% unlock could ever give (btw if you overclock unlocked card, it does not scale with the gpu frequency, so even after OC you still have 2% increase max). So I was satisfied with the card (later I...

I had Sapphire Flex HD 6950 before, and that is the same card just with different cooler. Sorry mate, I looked almost a week around many forums and noone ever been successful with that. Seems its laser-cut, as well as most non-reference cards which are out today. :banghead:

sorry, bad reading... I see you used a HD 6970 bios; well I would try RBE or the bios I have mentioned

Did you actually modify the bios? Because from the above, it looks like you just saved the bios from the card and uploaded it back to the card :-) do you know RBE v1.28? Alternatively, here is link to the one BIOS you could try to upload to the card...

These cards have locked bios. Do: atiwinflash -unlockrom 0 before you try to load the other bios. Where did you get the new bios you are flashing it in there? This card from Asus DOES unlock for sure. Unless Asus did something very wrong with those cards recently.

no... looks like the card won't unlock then.. not a reference one I think ..?

how can anyone know? simply ask your dealer

simply don't do it... one bios, non reference card - thats the worst scenario I'd say. Many cards now on the market are unlockable. I never heard about any non reference Sapphire being unlocked. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2322114&postcount=2650

"3. Tried blind flashing the bios from a bootable usb but 'atiflash -i' couldn't find any compatible display adapters" how do you know it couldn't find display adapters on a blind flash attempt? take original bios, use atiflash with -f (force switch), load it to the position 1 I'd also...

JUST two posts earlier ;) Script from w1zzard which modifies file with bios and updates it for enabling the shaders: (just an another alternative of unlocking) http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137136&page=16
