    okay so both bios have 6950 checked not 6950 > 6970 shaders checked, when i try to flash with rbe it gives me this error even with force flash on, I think it was wrong adaptor or something selected, even though there is only one adaptor for the graphics card. also since you seem to have 2 of...

    using winflash I get that cannot write over rom or w.e on each bios, so I do what they tell me to and try to flash using cmd, win flash will start doing it and disappear half way through on one of the bios, on the other it will still give the cannot erase rom. So I am kinda lost on what to do.

    hm quick question, could mine perhaps not have unlocked because I put it in, and installed the drivers and then preceded to flip the switch, thus making it so that the card was stuck on 1408 shaders? perhaps removing it from the pci express slot or putting it in the other one will make it work?

    Yes I have multiple times, completely powering it off, still nothing. I am kinda confused as to how I fixed the powertune problem, I must have done something for it to work properly at not be capped at 725mhz without 20%

    No I do not think I was able to flash the card, and the switch was in position 1 I believe, the switch was on the side closer to the fan on the card. Yes I do think I was trying to overwrite the correct bios :/

    I have come to the conclusion mine will not unlock :( I tried using winflash, rbe, nada, i tried overwriting the 6970 bios I downloaded with the 6950 bios which is suppose to be 6970 bios, still won't work I get unable to write image or w.e even using command prompt it would not work with...

    which position is your bios switch on? the left or right? also how come when I put powertune to 20% its still capped at 725mhz also how do I know which bios is the 6970 one? when i uninstall everything its at 704 shaders on the default one until drivers get installed. Okay scratch that...

    So I got my card today, put it in read 700 shaders, windows manually updated it and it showed 1408, so i installed ati drivers, shut it off, flipped the switch to the right side, turned it on, and still 1408 shaders.
