From what I was told, the core and shader on NV cards cannot be unlocked/unlinked
They can be unlinked on my 570.

I'm really confused. I've tried everything, including completely removing everything and reinstalling, but I still cannot get past 840.
Is it possible that there is some restriction on my card?
Finally got it - I think my text editor (Komodo Edit) uses a character set that Afterburner does not like. Reinstalled and used notepad to modify it and not it works great. Let the fun begin![]()
Sounds like a great update for AMD cards.
Indeed, got my 6950 unlocked to 975 Mhz on stock 6970 volts last night, did a few passes of Kombustor, Heaven and played Metro 2033 and BFBC2.
It didn't go higher than 80c either.
Happy days!!!
My 6950>70 got to 960 Mhz on stock 6970 volts, so eased of a little to 950, max temps 58c on Kombustor using 5870 AC extreme coolerI had a different experience. Mine crashed in Heaven at 1.2v 925/1425.
I've stepped it back to 900/1350 at 1.15v, however after just looking, it seems to have forgotten my settings since rebooting, and now when I try to increase either they disappear on clicking apply or restarting afterburner. Any ideas?
That's what I thought, I never keep the oc on anyway, as the card is fast enough anyway, it's always just a curiosity thing with me.I've heard 1.3v mentioned, but I'm not keen with upping the voltage too much, personally. It just isn't worth it for a few FPS.
£217 for me, what a bargain!Agreed, max I would go is 1.2v as that is only a notch higher than the 1.175v of the 6970.
I am running mine at 950 Mhz at the moment with the unlocked shaders, no need for more when I am crunching any fancy 560/570 for £213
I also have my powerplay to +15%!
The benchmarks I was getting last night put it just 3FPS away from a 580 in Crysis![]()
