Your card does not have the 1-2 bios switch?
Did the (6950 to 6970) 1408 shader flash fail?
You did not back-up your bios?

You can try this one --> Club3D HD 6950 1024 MB BIOS

Looks like the device IDs and sub-system IDs are the same...
And, the Club3D one does either type of memory (Hynix or Samsung).

I can only recommend... you use at your own risk.
If your card is not working... you may want to give it a try... OR, send W1zzard a message to see if there may be a copy of the bios you need that did not make it to the DB.

i have tried the club3d and vtx3d.. both give blank screen.. actually, i bought my gpu from mining set.. both 1 and 2 switch initially have club3d bios and it shows "testvbios" text at the top right at the secreen..

thanks for the recommendation and i'll try pm W1zzard..

This one might work. It's also unlocked (but that might just cause you more problems).

The other option would be to try email powercolor. The card is out of warranty so they might be willing to email you the bios.

haha.. i will try contact powercolor too.. in fact, i have tried all the available 1gb bios.. only powercolor bios has successed.. the link you have showed seems like a broken bios because it shows 64kb in size instead of normal 128kb..

I have the Sapphire Toxic card with both BIOS, if you think they are worth a go and you can explain what i need to do i will help you.
pm if you want or on the forum if you think it will help others.

I just reread the post title, mine is 2gb, yours is 1gb.. my bad.
