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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
