ok, just got cat.11.1 from Ati site and my 6950 starts to behave strange :(
I don't know is it from the driver or something else is ****ed. GPU jumps to 3D mode continuously (see pic) while idle in windows.
..and CCC still says that this is cat.10.11 :(

Can anyone confirm does new 11.1 has this isue or it is just me?

Could anyone be so kind as to give me some advice on this error, it's in the event viewer..and I believe it's why I'm getting BSOD.

" \??\C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\HD_6950_to_HD_6970_mod\winflash\at has been blocked from loading due to incompatibility with this system. Please contact your software vendor for a compatible version of the driver. "

And I see this to

The atidgllk service failed to start due to the following error:
This driver has been blocked from loading

Is this part of it?

" Application 'C:\Windows\explorer.exe' (pid 1964) cannot be restarted - Application SID does not match Conductor SID.. "

I'm using the 11.1 from Guru3D for a few days and not seeing that problem.

Edit: Ok scrap that, after going into 3D overdrive using furmark and make into 2D it's now doing that, damn it!!

Edit2: It seems to be happen more when GPUz 0.51 is in the foreground, try it! Weird.

I had no problem with 11.1 (the one with broken openGL), but just installed final 11.1 which apears to be older v.8.812 and it start doing this. What could cause GPU to switch to 3D clocks with no GPU load? I have no overckloking enabled in CCC and have no overclocking software installed :(

...going to revert back to 11.1a hotfix.

When I get home I am going to check to see if I am experiencing this to, I noticed my card is louder but I did not check to see if the clocks were dropping during 2d or not.

OK guys, found the problem.
It is official cat-11.1 :( Shame on you AMD !
I've reverted back to 11.1a hotfix and the clocks are solid 250/150 in windows. Plus temps with the "bug" was 43C idle, while without the "bug" are 33C idle !?!

P.S. there are newer version of 11.1a-updated (fixed openGL tessalation isue), theese work as well with no clock isues.

You should be using the 11.1a hotfix released today by AMD - it is newer and has better support for 69xx series cards.

Are these hotfix drivers available off the AMD website?

More interesting is his OC of 5GHZ at 1,488 VCORE - Crazy :)

6950/6970 - 1000/1500 is possible with a good cooling!

im still stock HSF POWER COLOR 6950
sorry thats the first time i got 5 gh, now only need v1.428 @ 5 GH

And your System is rock stable with al this OCs?
CPU: Prime95 stabe? LinX stable?
GPU: Furmark Extreme heating test stable? Kombuster stable? Gaming stable?

Or is this setting only for a short bench?

BTW: I can imaging that you are proud of what your system can reach but I dont think every 50 or 100 points change or evey Voltage/Mhz change is worth to post it.. Just to keep this Thread a bit more readable...

DJ... You don't need a Furmark Extreme heating to test if your card is "stable". It's not like any games with extend over that threshold or lengths. Simply not needed.

Basically, if it passes benchmarks, it's fine. -protip

Everthing has to be 101% sure in OCing issues for me ;)

But know what you mean - will keep an eye on it....

hello everyone :)
im having some troubles with my modded 6950, i get white dots pop up now and again in crysis and crysis warhead when using very high settings and AA, its fine without AA

i only get 1 dot pop up every ten minutes or so but it still worries me, my friend says it is a driver issue or it would have done it in the 20+ other games i tested (like bfbc2 and black ops)

i used this file in this post http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=2137760&postcount=381 to mod my 6950 to unlock all the shader, i am only running it at standard speeds (800/1250) as im too scared to overclock after i noticed this "dot"

i have only flashed it once, would it be safe to flash back to standard 6950? will that fix the crysis "dots" ?

Flash it back to stock if you want; it won't hurt at all. Did you try the new driver 11.1a?

hmm, weird.
Do not worry to flash your card as much as you want.
And first I'll recomend to uninstall the current driver, then use driver sweeper and then install This driver.
If this does not help then you can turn the switch on the back of the card to position 2 and restart the system, this will boot with your original (backup) BIOS.
Just try which of these will sort your problem.

Excellent guide TPU, been a lurker here for years, but simply had to sign up for this.

Bought an MSI 6950, which is now, for all intents and purposes, a 6970. :D

I did come across a couple of issues, first when saving the current BIOS using ATFlash the system basically locked (the mouse would be movable, but with about 5s of lag, and the taskbar was screwed up) so I reset, stuck on the backup BIOS, then when booted switched the BIOS just flashed straight over it - worked a treat.
