So, today I am getting my 2 6950 cards and have full plans to unlock the shaders, but not fully upgrade the bios to 6970 as I don't want to fry the RAM.
A helpful person gave me this tutorial to follow:
http://www.overclock.net/ati/923129-hd-6950-810-1250-mhz-shader-4.html
So, before I do this, I want to ask:
1) is the tutorial above the best one out there on just unlocking the shaders? I plan on OCing this through either CCC or AMD Overdrive (suggestions?)
2) Drivers - once I complete the steps above, will I have any issues updating to say, the latest Catalyst drivers? Or once I unlock, am I stuck with using whatever drivers are in that downloadable file on the site that I linked?
First timer doing this, so any help/advice/knowledge would be great. And I did search through the forum a bit, but didn't see an answer to thise specific questions, so figured I'd ask.
