Oh boy

HELLO? Are you using win flash? I was told to only flash one card at a time in pci slot one for safest/best results. There is ati/rbe bios editor also. there is a command prompt force flash also. For me my card had a read only locked bios and every attempt for me failed. Xfx 6950.Any way. W1zzard has the best instructions on ways to flash the 6950\6970 successfully if you are lucky enough to have a unlocked bios & not lazer cut chip. Were you successful in unlocking the shaders only instead of flashing the bios to 6970?

Hi

onw [one?] of the flashes that i used ioen [open?] my shaders but still not the catalyst
what should i do ??


This - Uninstall and then reinstall AMD Catalyst drivers for shaders to show [*if the shaders have unlocked successfully when flashed]

Note: for future reference when asking for assistance saying "my cards are : ati hd 6950 sapphire" is not good enough; Make and Model of the card please as there are eight models of Sapphire HD 6950 available

Example:
Sapphire HD 6950 .jpg

chaotic_uk +1 not all HD 6950's unlock

atb (all the best)
