Title: Yo
Post by: Drago on 02 February 2013, 02:29:12
Yo I was wondering how could I over clock my GPU? HD6950 I'm using the latest CCC(catalyst control center) and MSI afterburner it's a stock 2gb
My current clock is 840/1325 and core voltage is 1175(says MSI afterburner) modified it alitle
Using an R3 alienware(alright but shitty) aurora and using eyefinity at 5780x1080 or 3 screens with 1980x1080

I've got the same card, if you are lucky you can unlock it to a 6970, search for the 6950 to 6970 bios mod.

Mine runs at 940 core and 1440 memory with 1.250 v

mines a "stock" AMD Radeon HD 6950 but hope its capible of it
when i do Legacy skin it shows shader clock what does it do (its locked)

Gijs i think i dont want to do the 6950 to 6970 bios mod cause its my dad's computer i dont want to break or overheat/volt it

LoL if its your dads computer I would suggest not to mess with it much then... Just because certain settings and voltages work for one person does not mean its "failproof" and anytime you overclock GPU's or CPU's you run the risk of overheating and frying it (Especially if you don't fully understand what you are doing)... Your choice of course but papa might be pissed if you mess up his shit...  :-X
half i know what im doing but half i dont know but when i play battlefield 3 on ultra its better(more FPS) cause my dad and i put too much stuff and it makes the framerates go down but yeah

Gliffs are you using a special case? If you are then good if you didn't it will be fryed by then

You'll play even better in battlefield 3 but in a few years with overclocking your computer will stop working.
I suggest you to overclock a processor and  unoverclock the graphic card and the inverse for few times

As long as you have good cooling it doesn't really matter.
A processor and gpu usually last more than 10 years, so you probably replace them before that anyway.
