Anybody got it unlocked? I mean I did lots of research about 695X-ZDFC which has been unlocked but never this specific ver a0. I also figure that it always vary.

So get down to the point, since i really dont want to solder or get dirty with it(unless i have to lol) which bios do i flash? xfx never made 2gb version of this specific card.

Best way to do it is to save the bios from your card, put it in RBE and tick the box to unlock the shaders, then save it and flash it.

I have the 1gb A.1 version. The bios is in the attatchment.

I suggest you use the DOS version of ATiFlash as it's safer. Put it on a bootable USB drive. If you are going to use ATiWinFlash, be sure to have your video drivers uninstalled. You can try saving your original bios with Radeon Bios Editor and GPU-Z also.

Nice, it unlocked! :toast:

I get to about 950mhz before I lose stability. Anything after that needs a voltage adjustment.

Do you think this would work on a XFX 6950-CNDC 2gb Ver. A.0?

You can try? It's better if you have a dual bios on it and there's always a risk. Don't use the bios posted above as it's for a 1gb card.

There's always a risk, so I would not do it. If your card overclocks nicely just do that as FPS gains are minimal with the unlock. :)

I use 1.2v with 960/1440, - set unoficial overclocking = 2 - also tweak your fan control. I have 2 profiles set - 1 - gets loaded on windows load 860/1350 (does not need fan profile) so I don't need to start AB and second profile (whenever I need extra push for a game) 960/1440 with modified fan profile) - this way I only task the card when I need to

You could get an A.1 A.2, A.3 version too. You don't know what you're going to get. It's all luck.

OK.

What about dual bios switch? Does this card have one?

Same with the bios switch. It's more likely to be on the A.1 and A.2 revisions but it's also down to luck.

OK thanks.

Does RBE unlock core clock too or only the shaders like ad3k's screenshot?

I have the same model video card. (XFX 1GB 695X-ZDFC Ver A.0)

I have also tried unlock the shadders but failed.
The atiflash messages ok, but continues as 1408
What else can I do?

Thanks
