A bit unfair just because of one person

Its safe to assume that he has had far more than just that over time because of people not reading the manual.

My 6950 is at stock clocks I manages to get an average of 48.5, min 29.4 and max 116

i guess so.

but it would be abit unfair to remove it totally...

he could add a popup warning or something.

lot of people are lazy and just ask instead of search and read.
he is russian also, which have a different culture regarding lazy....

Whats the card like for gaming easy when comparing to the 6870 you had?

 

[TaKeN]

Was going to buy one of these yesterday taking advantage of the 'This Week Only' & '5% Discount' code, but the overclocked 6950 is still pretty much the same performance at 1920 x 1200 as my Asus 5770 Crossfire

How are you guys finding the noise from the 6950 at load? And does it change much when overclocked?
Looking at reviews it seems a little better than the 6970 in this regard.

Its great.

TBH I didn't think there would be much difference But in black ops my minimum FPS as increased especially when it gets busy.This is very noticeable Its a very good card for the money.


Looks like most will 900mhz on the core too and more with voltage tweaks.

Like the 6870 it replaced noise is a non issue even at load with these cards.

I disagree i can really notice it, but my last card had a custom cooler and the card before that was WC so perhaps ive been spoilt...wont be a problem for long though as im going to watercool it

 

[muggs]

heres mine@840/1325

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

I have just found out why my FPS is lower an other peoples! I am benching at 1920x1200 and they are benching at 1920x1080.

I'm a nub .

Flash that HIS

 

[Scougar]

Easy try it mate!!!

 

[easyrider]

I have flashed mine to a 6970 and all seems to be ok

Here it is in heaven at stock 6970 clocks.

880/1375 notice this is with all the shaders unlocked.

As I know the core will do 900mhz I have basically a 6970 for the cost of 6950

 

[easyrider]

Below is 6950 flashed to 6970 running at the default 6970 stock speeds 880/1375

Below is the 6950 overclocked to 900/1350

The extra shaders are clearly working
