Yep seems it can't be flashed - bah...anyone succeeded in fitting other graphics coolers to 6950s?

Yes, I have.
AC xtreme 5870, You only need a couple of extra heatsinks for the vrm as the 5870 vrm's are different to the 6950's, and your good to go.
50c max in Kombuster @1g on the core!

Really trying hard not to buy another for xfire. :eek:

Choose Saturday delivery and you will have it tomorrow.

Choose normal next day courier and you will get it Monday.

I can't find reviews for this card on the web. Very strange!

I found this though > http://i4memory.com/f18/msi-radeon-6950-6970-review-28152/ which is someones forum review, also mentioning the cards flashing.

Anyone know if these come with the metal back plate that the reference coolers use?

Im pretty sure they do. I just looked at an un-boxing on youtube and they show the back plate

Any plan to stock Gigabyte releases of this card? The only thing turning me off MSI and the other brands are their European return bases.

Cheers, John

Two orders? :rolleyes:

I've got a Revision B 6950 and the 6970 bios works no problem, although I just use the Shader Unlock, on stock volts 1.1v clocked up to 6970 speeds.
