How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

[tecnoworld]

probably because you use two monitors

Anyone have this rendering error on BBC2 with single 6950 with catalyst 10.12 (the grey line over the helmet of the last right guy )?

I am going to try the 10.12a to see what happens !

yep exactly the same here

anyone else getting these errors in 3dmark11/demo2/performance profile?

Fod, your problem of rendering artifacts is still here or is solved ?

Yes thats it, it started happening after I plugged the TV in, spot on thanks

Can anyone offer a reason why my 6950 idle clocks are 450MHz core and 1250MHz memory? Before modding, tried reinstalling drivers and no fix

Hello,

I had the same problem, it's a driver bug
and reinstallation does not correct the problem.

We need to correct values in IDLE,
go into the Catalyst -> Graphics -> ATI Overdrive
Then simply press Default, then Apply.

Enjoy.

rorima: also for you, it's just because you probably use two monitors at the same time. Try to turn off the second monitor and see.

still there as you can see by the screenshots

I tried clicking "defaults" but I am already at default settings so I do not get an option to apply, but I have disconnected my TV from the HDMI socket, refreshed the displays and all is well. But really what a terrible error from AMD to which multi monitor support is their biggest selling point!

Action on default , change many things in the register , not only informations on the screen.
This action correct the problem for me.

I have the same grey line in the same position, i think it's a driver/BC2 issue.

Quick question to you knowledgeable people, using W1zzards unlocking batch file I get a .rom file, can I just rename it to a .bin file and run it?

Also I am such a CMD noob I cannot get the flash to work. My username for computer is Dominic, so into CMD (run as admin) I type exactly this "cd %Dominic%\desktop\winflash". However it cannot find the path. The winflash folder is simply named "winflash" on my desktop (win7 pro x64).

After youve stopped laughing at how thick im being could you please write out exactly what I need to type?

Thanks

This is what I am trying to follow;

For the people who need to unlockrom and fail at command line:

- Unpack the Winflash download onto your desktop in a folder called "winflash"
- Save the 6970 BIOS in your Winflash folder and name it unlock.bin
- Click Start Button
- Type "cmd"
- Right click the entry and select "Run as Administrator"
- Black command prompt windows opens
- Type "cd %USERPROFILE%\desktop\winflash"
- Type "atiwinflash -unlockrom 0" <-- the 0 means first adapter, if you have multiple cards, physically uninstall all but the one you want to flash
- Type "atiwinflash -f -p 0 unlock.bin"
- It should complete the flashing process with a message saying something with "verified".




EDIT: Fixed and completed, now got all shaders working

Yep thanks all , i have try with my old HD2600XT still there ! so drivers or game bug , @F0D i have the same errors in 3dmark11/demo2/performance , it's not an errors just some ugly lullabies in performance mod

So our graphics card run fine !

Thanks all


Edit : A Screenshot to show you

@F0D i have the same errors in 3dmark11/demo2/performance

I don't have any on 3dmark nor Heaven benchmark. The BC2 thing is mostly a drivers problem, the video card is in 2D mode in that menu.

 

[Kaali]

I havn't on Heaven , running fine , but on 3dmark i have this ugly lullabies ! With the 2 6950 in solo or Xfire so ... i think it's just a bug !

 

[Mirmendis]

still there as you can see by the screenshots

Drivers related , but in Heaven, do you still have that strange red light ? Seems Calvinbui has the same glitch (#918)

If yes, have you tried to set "defaults" in 3d catalyst settings ?

are you talking about the 3dmark11 benchmark or the demo or both?
because i dont get it in the benchmark but i do get it in the demo which is kinda weird

that strange light only appears at certain angles and at night time in dx10 mode and its allways the same spot/glitch - yeah i have tried all the settings that i could think of including defaults and all the catalyst a.i settings
mine isnt anywhere near as bad as calvinbui's though

thanks for checking that for me
is yours also fine in the actual benchmark - just demo has the problems i think

every game i have tested with its fine - bfbc2/sc2/crysis/metro2033 and loads others is all fine, its just the small heaven glitch and the 3dmark11 demo glitch

 

[tecnoworld]

since Asus SmartDoctor has an option to unlock CCC overdrive, is it possible to know what is changed by SD in the register (or wherever)?

In this way it would be possible to create a small app that does the same thing...

Anybody is able to do that?

 

[dom99]

Hi,

ignore my previous post the problem sorted lol, now running hd 6950 moddified bios solid as a rock.

now i need trixx to support voltage modding so i can hit 1.175V And 6970 clocks

 

[Kaali]

Hahahaha f0d i think our graphics cards like to joke with us :

Same bug as you , so to my mind just drivers bug , 6950 are new cards so we have to wait a mature driver to run all fine.

The bug is on dx10 and 9 no bug on dx11 , only in one place , next to the dragon at the start, i guess you have the bug on the same place ? !



Now i am trying to get the ghost red light

Just had a strange issue with the ram staying locking its clock rate at 1375, despite it being set to 1275 in Overdrive. It read 1375 in both CCC and GPU-Z, and would not change even when I adjusted the settings in CCC Overdrive.

I only even noticed it because suddenly my mouse cursor glitched out. Looked like a strip in the middle of it was erased and moved off to the left of the pointer, and there was a skinny vertical line off to the right of the whole mess. It fixed itself after closing everything and clicking on the desktop... but even that seems strange, haha.

Anyone else have issues with the clock settings not staying fixed?

Edit: It just happened again... seems to occur every time I open Hulu now... guessing there's an issue here. Is it safe to use it like that?

Thanks for any thoughts,
Aip

Switching to the unlocked 6950 BIOS fixed the jacked up memory clock in Hulu. Now it only goes to 1250 normally, occasionally jumping to the stock 1275. Haven't noticed my mouse cursor glitching anymore.

Just an fyi for anyone who read my first post about it.

-Aip


Edit: Also, had to hit "Defaults" in CCC to get the card to start downclocking to 250/150. Before it would only drop to 500/900 at the lowest.

 

[Kaali]

@f0d Exactly same bug with HD2600XT on dx10 and dx9 at the exactly same place, you can all test in dx10 and 9 at this place here (Heaven bug that it) :




For the red light i am trying but i havn't , maybe one more stupid bug

I can confirm i have that too, it is visible in that position if you turn tesselation low or off. It's a junction point as you can see, it is not an artifact.

About 3dmark11, i didnt notice anything on the demo.

 

[AiponGkooja]

anyone else getting these errors in 3dmark11/demo2/performance profile?

I get them. Are they actually errors though?

 

[Kaali]

It's what i said before !!!! A ugly Lullabies , not bug at all on benchmark mod ! only on demo !
