Well my card is fubar'd. I initially replaced the bios with the 6970 bios and kept trying to make it work. I then reverted back to the original bios and just did the shaders unlock. I have to mention that while I had it overclocked, I kept the fan speed at 100% to minimize the chance of ruining...
I have an update regarding my Sapphire 6950 modding. So I used the utility posted by W1zzard and I can confirm that it all works properly. I am using the maximum gpu and memory clocks that overdrive will allow and so far no artifacts or crashes. Thank you rui0317 and W1zzard!
Is DFI still around? I can't imagine so with their grossly over-priced motherboards haha. Lots of unnecessary features that I imagine were more hype than anything else.
I cannot, ATI Overdrive minimum is 1375. I can't go any lower.
Since I have the fan at 70% they are not bad. Idle is 38 and load.....I don't know since I cannot run any games or even FurMark.
