daveh98 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What OC settings roughly match the 6990s? Has anyone looked at the possibility of unlocking the shaders of the 6970s? Those were the days when that happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 You need a bit more than a 100MHz overclock on the core if I remember it correctly, might have changed a bit with the newer drivers. And yes, I flashed my 6970m with a 6990m VBIOS, just to see what happens... system booted but the screen stayed black. I also tested a very early modified beta VBIOS, which bricked my card, lol.The shaders are apparently cut off physically from the rest of the die, that's what hardware manufacturers usually do (naturally, since it can't be undone) and (apart from the 6970m ES chips) no one managed to get magically more shaders on a 6970m... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
