@U2RxPoLaR yes i just looked that up and saw a complete guide on techpower up, il unlock my shaders and turn it into a 6970
@kaysniper Thats why you flash the bios …Turn your 6950 into a 6970… LITERALLY !
@kaysniper It shouldn’t be too bad bro, depending on how much air flow your case has, but yes a nice after market cooler is what I usually go after
very bad design, now the heat will retain in the pc instead of being exhausted out.
will need to put on after market cooler
@Lionheart1188
feck i think i have to return the 6950, i thought the 6950 was 5870 and s9570 was 5890
damit £220 for 5950 doesnt seem worth it
@crash6011 Sapphire, Diamond, or HIS. I’ve always had good experiences with them.
NEWSFLASH!!!
save 70 to 80 bucks by getting this card and turn it into a Radeon HD 6970 by flashing it. Download the HD 6950 to HD 6970 Flashing Tools @ techpowerup homepage. Gudluck! Happy New Year GAMERS! Happy Gaming!

@Pinoyako11705
I’m pleased i look on you tube for some information regarding this card. You mention PowerColor is not so good. Can you reccomend another. Sapphire, what about them?
thats a lot of numbers!!!!!!
personally i think it looks silly .. the silly cartoon robot dude on a $300 piece of hardware .. gay .. just plain gay.
is’t compatible with the Asus Crosshair III Formula AMD 790FX motherboard ??
@romankienast Two of these? Nope.
@Domowoi2 I never said get a GTS 250 LOL, i really want to upgrade, a bit out of date now xD The reason i told him i had a GTS 250 is so that he didnt think i had the cards i was talking about
its gorgeous!
How long is the HD 6950 Video Card?
whats the difference between XFX and Sapphire ??
How do you like your POLISHED CORNERS?
Help, i’m running a HD 5750 in with dual monitors, i keep getting random black artificial on either screen.
@2:45, teh aliens were trying to communicate with him
@SwissJustMe whats Tesselation Performance
Would my Corsair HX 650watts psu run this card in crossfire?
@lolRainy
THe HD 6950
Performance is nearly the same, but it has much better Tesselation Performance (the newest driver are coming and improve this more and more) and the most important thing: it has 2gb vram (the 5870 got only 1gb)
And it has also some new features (hdmi 1.4a etc.)
As I said, its a totally new architecture (all other cards including HD 6800 were based on HD 2000, the HD 6900 is a new one) so the drivers are not at the optimum right now.
