Just got my Gigabyte and Sapphire 6950's. Promptly unlocked them to 6970's successfully. Took some quick benchmarks of my crossfired 5850's @ 775/1200 to compare them to my new 6950's @ 880/1375. I did not test at higher than 2xAA levels as my 5850's run out of vram and crawl.
System: i5-750 @ 4.0Ghz, 8GB ram
Drivers: 10.12 and 10.12a
Resolution used for all games: 5760x1200
Results displayed in min/max/avg
16xAF always used unless listed otherwise
Tests performed using fraps in actual gameplay. Similar loop used for each test over about 5 minutes.
