One year on, has anyone flashed to full 6970 bios and run for a whole year without breaking anything? I originally flashed to 6970 but then chickened out and went for the shader unlock only.

bios name Just a long shot but is the bios that you are trying to flash to really called "BIOS.BIN" ? And is BIOS.BIN located in the winflash folder?

I've had my shader unlocked 6950 up to 950/1500 (via Trixx) +20% and got a graphics score of 5517 in 3DMark11 :- http://3dmark.com/3dm11/466903;jsessionid=6BD1C89EFCC21600A975788896B4F66E?show_ads=true&page=%2F3dm11%2F466903%3Fkey%3DcHJXzV7BuQKxmtW48MAtEzzNNQnFKe but I have added a little...

How do I find out if my XFX card (version 1.0) has T2C or R0C?

I've just realised that I can get better scores in 3DMark11 with the modded 6950 bios than I did with the 6970 bios! Previously with 6970 bios I overclocked in CCC to 950/1450 +20% 3DMark11 score = 4916 (GPU score = 5296) Now with 6950 shader only bios overclocked in Trixx to 950/1450...

I'll answer my own question! No i can't - Just tried it but it didn't work - RBE seems to have no effect on the core voltage - Whatever I put into those 4 boxes, I still see 1100 with a 6950 bios and 1175 with a 6970 bios when I look in GPU-Z or TRIXX or AB

I've just loaded the 6970 bios into RBE The voltage register reads 1000 / 900 / 1150 / 1175 Could I just replace the offending 1175 in vid4 with a safer 1150 and use this modified 6970 bios instead as I know it already works for me and allows me to overclock up to 950 and 1450 with +20% PC ?

I ran 6970 bios for 3 weeks with no issues but have decided to go for shaders only for peace of mind. In RBE my VIDS are now 1000 900 1200 1275 I've overclocked in Trixx to 890 and 1350 (and could slide higher) BUT Trixx still shows GPU voltage as 1100 and the slider won't work. Is this bug...

Just done it now and increased MHz to 910 for a better score of 4653 Cheers

3D MARK 11 result http://3dmark.com/3dm11/343241 Flashed to 6970 - does this look ok? FPS dropped very low - maybe time for Sandybridge! http://3dmark.com/3dm11/343336 Or this score with an overclock to 910MHz

Big thanks for a big improvement But then I did upgrade from a 4670 to 6950 - I had been sitting on the fence for ages and this story made me order the XFX 6950 straight away - and flash it straight away too with the XFX 6970 bios - running at 880 / 1375 idles at 30½ degrees and just finished...
