VTX3D 6950 1GB unlocking

[isee]

Hi All, just wanted to make this card specific thread as tehre isn't one on the entire internet.

Bought a VTX3D 6950 1GB on amazon for GBP:167 delivered

Used RBE to unlock to 6970 and it asked for a restart
upon restart, RBE reckons it's unlocked but GPU-Z is still showing the standard 1408 shaders

The card does have a BIOs switch.

I assume asking for a 6970 BIOS here would be pointless since it's a 1GB card.
I also don't believe in the laser cutting theory, because it makes no sense economically to make a cheaper card more expensive to manufacutre than the higher end card.

Any other ideas news you can add to this thread would be very welocme

Thanks
