Well as the title suggests this is about a ATi 6950 1gb the 2gb was out of stock (MSY) will flash it to a 6970 later just doing some benchmarks before it gets flashed for some comparisons

CounterStrike Source

old cards 4850 1gb crossfire OC version

263 fps average in the stress test

6950 1gb

364 fps avg.

Dirt 3

i forgot to do a stress test with my old setup but it was only running possibly medium 1920x1080

new one all settings as high as they could go

Max Avg 57.11 fps

Min Avg 48.51

LOL Steve - SIF CS:S is a proper test :D

I find the reviews from most sites to be very much spot on the money.

If you really want some great reviews - www.xtremesystems.org

Those guys are right on the pulse and do some VERY involved testing, when im building a PC, its where i read for a month before purchasing :)

Ash ;) they are comparative back to back though

just finished 3d Vantage test

>>Old Score P13438 3DMarks<<

>>New Score P15364 3DMarks<<

all in all for the $225 spent i feel it has been a good upgrade now to sell the old crossfire setup

I know, just stirring you up. Use a game that stresses a card :P

I used to play the 1st level of a game or something and try follow a similar pattern etc and log stuff.

Its always nice to see the improvements of money spent.

Something easily done with a GPU over any other part thats for sure

oh just reading you can only flash a 6950 to a 6070 in the 2gb variant as there was no 1gb 6970

ah well i could still over clock if its not fast enough or buy another and crossfire it

This is right on the money.

Sofresh only managed to do it because he has the 2gb rev1 version.

Basically, he got lucky because he got in relatively early.

Sucks about MSY not having stock of it, but even if they did it would probably have been a rev2 which can't be flashed either.

Well, not to a 6970 but it can get really upgraded clock speeds.

GL with overclocking that badboy.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
