Has anyone tried unlocking the shaders to a 6970? I've read various methods, not for this card, most of which apply to the reference models. There are some out there who say this isn't possible for this specific card, and there are some say that it is. There has got to be a way to do this, someone just hasn't locked it down yet.
My guess is it's a combination of running some dos commands, using winflash, and flashing the GPU BIOS - as that seems to be the most confusing but most reliable method for non reference.
I just bought the card, repasted and OC'd is to 900mhz (over 100mhz from a stock 6950), it doesn't even touch 60c under load. This thing as far as efficiency goes is very capable, hopefully I can find someone who knows how these things work.
