    How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

    Lots of little factors make it impossible to give a definitive number. The 3DMark score is worthless here because it factors in the Physics Score, and that depends primarily on CPU speed. For what it's worth, though, I ran 3DMark 11 Performance (P) on my stock 6950 and got the following...

    I'd say count me as +1 to the Sapphire 6950->6970 group -- but I'm not sure. I flashed the 6970 BIOS and set my clocks to 880/1375 (6970 speeds) and haven't had any artifacting or majorly noticeable visual defects. I had a couple of blue screens caused by switching between single- and...
