Hey guys, since I've read about how it might be dangereous to flash 6950 cards to 6970 bios... I've done a lot of research to find out how to Overclock the 6950 clock speeds further than the CCC overdrive limits...
I've been told that MSI Afterburner can do that for me... Had to edit the MSI afterburner cfg file and disable ulps in the registry to allow my crossfire setup (2x6950 unlocked shaders) to work with MSI AB...
Now I'm stuck with a new problem:
I've set my settings within AB to run both my cards @ 900mhz/1350mhz... and when I open up 2 instances of GPU-Z... I can see that during playing (@ full load), one of my cards is getting up to 900/1350 but the other stays @ it's stock no matter what I do (800/1250)... Is this normal???
I've also noticed that the name for both cards isn't Exactly the same... Well ... they're both 6950... but on has Cataclyst 11.2 in it's name in GPU-Z and the other just some numbers with no "cataclyst 11.2"...
So I've tried the "syncing the settings to both GPUs" option, and I've also tried to turn that option off. I did manage for like a minute to run both cards @ 900/1350 but then it reset somehow... (BTW I'm using GPU-Z to monitor speeds and voltages...)
I'm also seing this in MSI AB: Both cards show up as unlocked in GPU_Z with 1536 shader count... But in MSI AB, one card shows up with this bios number "013.008.000.010" and the other "013.008.000.009"... That's weird they should be the same BIOS... Maybe it has to do with the fact that one is an HIS and the other an XFX
Pls help
