lmao I really like the stickers on the MSI models, I'm pretty sure I can unlock these to 6970's as well since it is the 2GB version. Starting my tests now hopefully none of my parts are faulty ><

Is that still possible then? I thought AMD had a revision ready for shipment with the fixed power connector design, new VRM chips onboard and a disability to unlock those shaders. But now I'm in doubt :confused::twitch:

Here it is, I did some benching earlier so I took a photo for the GPUs in action. My 750watt seems to be more than handeling this system so far the fan itself doesn't even activate with everything at stock while playing Metro ....

I gotta say 6950's ARE THE BOMB! I had a 5970+5870 setup before but they don't compare to the smoothness these cards have in DX 11 mode. I had all settings maxed in DX11 with 4x AA and there is finally no annoying stutter, I may even play through the whole game again just because of this, I am very happy with these cards right now :D

Sorry for the crappy phone pics.

I think the 6950's have always been 6+6 and the 6970's 6+8 to my knowledge. It's why I decided to go with the 70 instead of oc'ing a 50...figured it needed the extra power for a reason
