Happy days, I now have the worlds fastest Nvidia GT240

The Sapphire 6950 I picked up flashed to 6970 flawlessly

Nice score but you might want to change your sig from a 5950 to 6950 .

Good catch and done Quite happy with it so far. It's quiet, makes less noise than my old 4890 Vapor-X (which was quiet enough) and CPU temps are down as there isn't a 4890 dumping heat into the case anymore. Only sad thing is I picked that specific 4890 for aesthetic reasosn as it matched my UD5 / Patriot RAM / windowed silverstone case and now there's a couple of flashes of red and no glowy blue Sapphire logo.

Im running 2 HIS 6950's in crossfire using asus 6950 unlocked shader bios and the highest i can set the clocks is 840MHz and 1325MHz. using AMD Catalyst™ 10.12a hotfix driver.

You will need to do a full flash to 6970 bios to change it in CCC. Or use MSI afterburner to change the clocks. Easier to do a full flash though,

you need to go into the afterburner folder on your drive and edit the cfg file
there right near the bottom you will see UNOFFICAL OVERCLOCKING, change the value from 0 to 1, Close Afterburner and CCC before you do it, then just use Afterburner to OC

Thanks for that i had assumed it was down to the driver i am using, i can change the core clock now in afterburner however if i change the memory clock it blue screens as soon as i click apply even changing it as little as 10Mhz causes a blue screen.
