Unlocking the shaders on my 6950 gained an impressive.. 1FPS

Though with just the shaders unlocked, keeping the VRAM timings at stock 6950 no artifacting at least.

by shaders unlocked you mean going from 6950 to 6970 via bios mod?

Id say you could clock those 280's a bit more yet, had one that ran 714/1251/1504, no dx 11 but still very decent cards.
I'm going to have a proper play with them, like you say I am sure there is plenty of headroom left in them yet for a decent OC.

Nope, it is a 6950 BIOS, but with the shaders unlocked. So everything is the same as a 6950 only it has 1536 shaders like the 6970.

so are those threads about 'unlocking' to a 6970 overhyped? you're only getting 1 fps improvement

Seems so. Looking at the specifications of the 6970 vs 50, the 70 has 1 billion more transistors. Must be more of a difference than just a 100 odd shaders.

If you unlock to a full 6970 your clock speed also increases from 800MHZ to 880 MHZ and the memory clock increase to 1375MHz. This makes a decent improvement in frame rates, more so than the shaders.

You have unlocked the shaders but I notice your texture fillrate hasn't changed.
I have seen a big boost both in games and benchies with my flashed 6950...I am using a 6970 bios
Anyway use the other threads for stuff like that.
This is the Heaven Benchmark thread and people can you learn how to use crop.
Cheers

Although the 580 is 1920x1200^

GTX580 will pull a bit further ahead if he does it again at 1920x1080

For me there was a difference of 5 fps
1920x1200, 94 fps
1920x1080. 99 fps

For pity sake.I don't want this thread going in this direction. I want Benchmarks to compare.Thats all.
