Can I CF two different brand 6950's that have ONLY the shaders unlocked?
and then OC them together in sapphire trixx to 880/1375/20% power slider?
I have a couple hundred bucks laying around, and a second reference 6950 on ebay is about that price, is why I ask. |

+1 to erocker.
In fact , Iam running one XFX, and one Sapphire card, in exactly the configuration you describe. No problems doing so that aren't present running one card, or both cards from the same brand.

I am only doing it because I got my second 6950 2gb reference card for only $165 off eBay... so yeah... I figured why not. Should last me until Haswell/DDR4/Directx12 overhaul. |

Yes, I RMA'd 9 XFX cards of the same model, and paid for a whole other card in shipping fees. But it's AMD's problem, not XFX's. Quote:
Nice grab, I recently aquired my third 6950, also a reference...and also an XFX card with lifetime warranty(I'm now using the non-reference card in my review rig).
