    I like the fact they monitor the forum to assist and/or inform real users. The cards rock, too...;-)

    Totally Confused.

    Since you're shooting for a 24" monitor I'm going to assume that you have a few bucks stashed or a tax check coming back. ;-) Try looking at Kyle's review here: http://hardocp.com/article/2011/01/11/amd_69706950_cfx_nvidia_580570_sli_review it is obviously high end AMD vs high end Nvidia but in...

    Totally Confused.

    Don't think we're suppose to link directly but you may try going to Tom's hardware and look under ARTICLES. They have a rating of sorts each month on value for dollar. It'll give you a quick snapshot at a certain pricepoint and what they think so you can go and make your decision. And of course...

    PC Vantage Scores

    This is probably irrelevant but...I'm trying to determine how choked my system is with my cpu versus my x-fired 6950's. I thought the PC Vantage would give me some indication but I'm not really sure what the relevant numbers are. I only used the trial key so I have limited info to begin with but...

    AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod

    I thought I had the crossfire thing licked but couldn't figure out why my benches were actually getting worse than the 840/1325 stock volts results. In an ill fated attempt to rectify it I uninstalled/reinstalled 10.12a since I hadn't after unlocking shaders and got constant GSOD every time AB...

    AMD Catalyst 11.1a Hot-Fix Driver Information

    If this is a "hot fix" can we assume there is a "regular" driver to be released prior to this?

    AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod

    It only allows for the core voltage adjust so I'm going to assume that everything else is regulated via firmware or hardware and will (hopefully) do the usual stuff to show it isn't happy, back off a bit and rock happily for a year or three!

    AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod

    Now that we can use the new AB for volts and clocks does anyone know what the "safe" limit on voltage is? Reason I ask is that we don't seem to be totally sure on the issues apparently caused by the 6970 bios on the 6950's. If it is the 1.17v that is to blame then obviously I don't want to go...

    3DMark11 Score

    Moonzi...I switched from x-fire 5770's to x-fire 6950's last week but before I did I ran vantage, 3dmark and Heaven 2.1 for my own comparison and peace of mind that I'd got a favorable result from breaking the bank. :-) Anyway, if you can OC those cards just a bit with a good fan curve you'll...

    3DMark11 Score

    http://3dmark.com/3dm11/402693 Best score I've managed so far. Unfortunately I have to set my aging cpu @ 3.4 instead of my everyday 3.6 in order to run this.

    6950: Shaders Unlocked vs Full Unlocked Tested

    Don't know if this is relevant or not but...I have a pair of unlocked Sapphire's in crossfire. When I enabled unofficial overclock in the afterburner config it BSOD'd every time. Had to set my cpu back to stock to get enough time to get into AB and tell it not to start with windows so I could...

    AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod

    rUmX, thanks for the reply. I've been following several forums the past few weeks trying to keep my cards just short of danger and it continues to elude me on the ram timings. Some mention volts as the problem and others the frequency. I assume it is actually a bit of both in that the 6950 ram...
