you think so? how does it compare to the 560?
You're kidding right?
You can unlock it AND OC it after and get 580ish performance for the similar amount spent( as for the 560), high resolution included.

That they don't know how to write a conclusive test?
Definitely saw improvements with my 4870 with various driver revisions, though its at the point where drivers don't do much any more. Obsolete.

hmmmm have not seen that ... got any legit charts?

An overclocked 560 can surpass a 6970

A lot of people on various forums have been complaining about artifacting when trying to overclock an unlocked 6950. Probably because a true 6970 has an 8 pin + 6 pin power connector while the 6950 only has 2 6 pin connectors. Buyer beware.
Wrong again, you can't compare the results of a random poster against the results of professional websites who dedicates themselves to hardware reviews and analysis.
Isn't that what Drivenbyvoltage just did? Why not jump on him for it? Oh. Either way I'm guessing 11.2 will be out soon and this thread will be of no further use.

Here's a professional website for you. Overclocked 560 beating a 6970. Game, set, match.
Funny stuff, I posted you lots of different links
You posted 2, how is that lots of links?
Fine.

Bam 560 beating a 6970. :thumbsup:
Which means that overclocked, still not enough to outperform the HD 6950 convincingly, an overclocked HD 6950 will fare better.
Hi,So your own "conclusion" (based on a stock card) that ignores their actual overclocked benchmark is not supported in their conclusion. In fact I wonder why you left this out of the quote.
the GTX 560 Ti even makes the $289 HD 6950 2GB look like an overpriced also-ran instead of a market leader.
In our opinion, the GTX 560 Ti is one of the best cards released in the last year or so. It is literally a perfect sub-$300 product which is quieter and more efficient than the competing AMD cards
Nice try though.
They dropped the resolutions whoop a 16 percent performance increase Am I missing something here? 1080p is the border where the cpu still plays a part.
1. I dont see the test rig there. It couldve been a cpu running at 4.4ghz
2. If you want to test the gpu you keep it at 2580 resolutions where the cpu plays a little role.
That 16 percent performance increase aint from the OC of the cards alone. Its a combo of a OC CPU+OC GPU.
Apparently you fail at reading comprehension, the cooler included with a HD 6950 is perfectly capable of dissipating the heat put out by my 6950 overclocked, overvolted, and unlocked, the problem for me personally was that the fan profiles used by the HD 6950 is VERY assertive in a sense that it would allow the GPU temperatures to fly upto 80-90 degrees when I put it through Furmark, hence why I purchased the Shaman cooler. If you look at what the card is actually performing against, it shows a massive improvement in performance, at times matching a GTX 580 but mostly trails it by a couple FPS while consistently staying ahead of the 6970/GTX 570.A more expensive video card with an $80 cooler on it? Has nothing to do with what I am talking about. /end thread.
This is offtopic. I would say take it to PM, but I know how some of you love attention. I won't take the bait any further. :thumbsdown:

According to TPU readers who have responded with their success/failure rate, out of 471 who attempted the unlocking 13 (less than 3%) had rendering errors. 1 couldn't get their card to unlock at all. Doesn't seem like , "A lot of people", at all. I would be tempted to write most, if not all of that, to user error or cards that have other problems anyway.

yes they have had plenty of success, but have you seen the talks there about the cards dying or artifacting after a week or 2 of use.
