Flashing 6950 to 6970

[Slomoshun]

I want to flash my cards but I've never done anything like this before and kinda scared haha.

I'm following:
http://www.overclock.net/amd-ati/942034-how-flash-6950-6970-guide.html
http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/159

Same guides one is a little more in depth.

Is it easier than I'm thinking it will be?

Not all models can be flashed. Which card do you have? Please give the specific model number.

Having said that, not sure how much it will help. I have a pair of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127555

I tried running Crysis 2 with the stock settings. It ran like ***, by ***, I mean there was more micro stutter then I would have liked. Overclocking didn't help.

Unlocking both cards didn't help. Unlocking AND overclocking + over volting didn't help.

So, I gave up. Good luck.

By the way, my cards were manufactured in december 2010 and january 2011. Cards manufactured more recently might not unlock properly.

Yea sorry, I was under the impression they could all be flashed.

I have the HIS IceQ X 6950's 2GB CF.
