How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 6950

Good, hope it helps you out. Here is how I run my card: How to enable additional shaders on Radeon HD 695...

Mines a Gigabyte 6950

Here's a shot of what it looks like.

It looks different from what I saw you post earlier. And there's no voltage that reads 1100 or 1.1.

So what do you think would be the right one for me to start increasing? Thanks

Click on GPU Registers... That's where you adjust your voltage, not on the main screen like your screenshot

Perfect, I appreciate that big time. I'm going to mess around with it and let you know what I come by. Thanks

Sounds good, good luck!

VID 4, change 1275, here max i can reach

That's pretty indeed. How does it run in game?

You're running XFX right. Was it only VID4 that needed adjustment?

soo i should pretty much be sure that my voltage will be vid4 since im getting a gigabyte 6950?

Mine is, so I would think so, but just test it out and find out which one raises temps and overclock limits.

Using Trixx I overclock to 880MHz, but when I reboot my PC the clocks turn back to 840MHz (the max that CCC allows), anyone else get this and how do I fix it without diabling CCC (I want to keep powerplay). thanks

EDIT: Ok fixed this, my issue was due to not having selected an option in the settings tab, what an id!

v1.275 and no bios mod jus msi ab v2.1 beta 6



ok, soon i'll flash with asus6970oc

I would strongly suggest a shader unlocked asus 6950 bios and then oc yourself again from there. Just to be safe with your memory chips.

Too late I see, wanna send me that sandy bridge setup so I can see if I can match your scores?
Ps. the multiplier seems to have dropped, how fast were you going on the cpu. I hear 4.6 is a fairly safe 24/7 oc.

sorry im not play game, only bench
anyway i'll try later

yup, just test
thx 4 advice, anyway my sandy max 4.7 GH on air 24/7

Hello you Unlockers,

are there any news regarding the redesign and the flashing capability? From what I heard/read this might give AMD the possibility to do so. Now the questions is: Will they? And if so, have any unflashable cards already surfaced and is there a way to identify cards with the old design?

Quick question for anyone who cares to answer, how far can you push the core clock speed of 6950 unlocked without voltage tweek? I dont know how to recognise the signs of overclocking too far on the core?

For example what will I notice on the screen when playing a game? I am noticing at the moment a few horizonal line glitches in BFBC2 and dont know whether it is normal or not for a game?

Keeping the core nice and cool, doesnt go above 55C in BFBC2 with cusotm fan profile

 

[manofthem]

Doesn't sound like it's too OC'd if it's staying nice and cool at 55* on load. What bios mod did you go with?

I went with the shader unlocked version using W1zzards script. running at 880MHz with no voltage change now and all seems well. Im going to leave it there, havent touched the memory though not sure I want to with all the scare stories about bricked cards

Plus is BFBC2 a CPU intensive game? my core i7 920 is hitting 56C in it?

 

[Whoops!]

I ran 6970 bios for 3 weeks with no issues but have decided to go for shaders only for peace of mind.
In RBE my VIDS are now 1000 900 1200 1275
I've overclocked in Trixx to 890 and 1350 (and could slide higher)
BUT Trixx still shows GPU voltage as 1100 and the slider won't work. Is this bug in Trixx?
Same deal in AfterBurner too - voltage slider won't slide!
GPUZ shows voltage never going higher than 1.1v
How can i tell what my voltage really is and how can I increase it?

bfbc2 is gfx intensive seeing as i have 5670 atm with 1090t oc 4ghz, it crashes after 5 mins with major artifacts until i restart and then all artifacts are gone

Yeh I cannot change the voltage in Trixx either, wish I could I would bump it up to 1.175

 

[itsdanny]

It's not supported yet... in Trixx.

So use RBE to increase you voltage. That's what I did. Very simple, only takes a few minutes. I bumped my voltage up to 1.2v and my core runs stable at 965mhz now

I have 2 "unlocked only" 6950s in xfire and I tried to set a custom fan profile in TRIXX but it only works for my top card.

The bottom card is still in auto mode controlled by CCC. The top card now has the "enable manual control" checked from the setting TRIXX profile.

Is this a known issue with TRIXX or is there something I need to change still.

Sounds good, good luck!

Well, it couldn't have gone any worse.

I went from MSI AB with 900/1375@1.180v and everything was nice and pretty, smooth 60 fps on BBC2 this afternoon.

I went to Trixx with the plan of raising voltage in RBE. I started with Trixx, thinking everything was fine. But I couldn't get to play a game with settings even on stock voltage. I tried raising voltage to 1200 in RBE like was suggested, but again I couldn't get a BC2 game to work. I could get to the point of joining a server, and then it would crash on me.

After several times of hard restarts, and several flashed, I'm back to stock voltage on modded bios with shaders.

Anyone else experienced something similar?

When looking for max GPU speed, set the RAM frequency to its default. Then use Furmark to stress the core. Look for "black outs", where the screen goes black then back to normal. That is one sign of too high GPU speed. Also halt of stress test, bluescreen or restart. If you get any "driver has recovered..." messages, that too was caused by too high core freq.

Again, remember to test for max GPU speed and mem speed seperatly. Also, some game may stress the card even more, so 900MHz furmark stable may only be 870MHz stable in you favorite game.

I can recommend Starcraft II for testing both GPU and mem.

Wow Core voltage @ 1.8 ?
