Well my new Sapphire HD 6950 Dirt 3 Edition is coming tomorrow and I read the feedbacks on newegg and they say that this has a 6970 bios switch, so I'm going to be doing that. Also, besides that, I want to overclock it to make it even better.
Does anyone here have a 6950/6970 that they overclocked without any special coolers or stuff that didn't make it that much hotter but gave them a good boost in power/fps? My current graphics card (6850) never gets hotter than like 60 celsius on graphic intensive games, and my case has two 120mm fans. I'd rather not add any other cooling devices.
So, can anyone tell me how to overclock it, and what a good overclock speed would be without overheating? Would MSI Afterburner work even though its not a MSI card?
