Meths was answering a question about his own card that he wasn't asked.
The TOXIC isn't the card uscool has.
I believe he has one of the dual fan cards.

Thanks for that. I didn't think any of the newer 6950's had the switch on them...
....which doesn't mean it will unlock.
Neither did I, that's why I thought it was the Toxic he meant and just got the core speed slightly wrong.
Like I've said before, it's a lottery.
You might have 1 of a batch of a 1,000 cards where only yours unlocks.
You might have 1 of a batch of a 1,000 cards where they all unlock.
You've either hit on the odd card which unlocks or managed to hit on a batch of cards which unlock.
As there's no way of knowing which it is your experience doesn't really assist anyone else.

Doubt it tbh.
AFAIK you used to have to flash the bios yourself but if Sapphire are putting both bios's on the cards and allowing you to swap between them by flicking a switch the chances are that it will work.
Certainly, I've not heard any reports of the Toxic cards not unlocking the shaders. Maybe other people have though?
There's one in this thread which didn't unlock and I'm sure I've seen a couple more mentioned in other threads.
