Has anyone ever experienced this?

I successfully locked my Sapphire HD 6950 to 1536 Shaders a few months ago when I built my computer.

Today, I just checked it with a new version of GPU-Z 5.5 and it's showing 1408 Shaders.

The overlcock is holding at 880 / 1375 but the shaders changed.

Anyone know why?

Thanks
 
I don't wanna check mine... I don't want to know.

I wonder if the latest driver did it?
 
That doesn't make any sense, does you card have a bios switch? How did you unlock it? Did you use a 6970 bios or a unlocked 6950 bios?
 
Hmmmm . . . good question. MAYBE / HOPEFULLY / I WISH I bumped it while cleaning the inside.

What switch was it suppose to be again on? 1 or 2?

No way the latest drive can change it right since its a BIOS setting?

Click to expand...

To the right or in other better words, away from the back plate of the card and toward the fan on the card.
