Default AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod

This is not really aviation related, but since so many users here have AMD cards, this may be of interest to them:

S!

Good to have the dual BIOS if you pork up the card I got my 6970HD yesterday and must say I am happy with it and no issues at all In IL-2, AMD's weak spot, playing The Black Death compared against my previous 580GTX results were very good, and I even used way higher FSAA on my 6970HD Resolution 1920x1200, Perfect graphics, Stock 4.10m.

Min(580/AMD): 32/26FPS
Avg(580/AMD): 55/53FPS
Max(580/AMD): 70/70FPS

Mind you I used 8xQE + edge detect + supersampling AA on AMD vs 4x FSAA standard(no supersampling) on NV So the more you slap on FSAA the better AMD shows it's teeth. In RoF I have everything maxed out and still memory usage is only 50% vs nearly 80% on the NV offering So some headroom there too.

So comparing that for a few more FPS with the 580GTX and a over 120€ higher price tag over the 6970HD..go figure PhysX is not an argument that sells for me as I do not play shooters where it is mainly used. Also the strange ring you get on water in IL-2 with NV is non-existent with AMD which was a BIG surprise to me. Anyways I can wholeheartedly recommend both 580GTX and 6970HD, both offer a lot of performance in any game So now seen both sides of the fence and can say both brands have good cards

Hi,

i also bought Amd 6970 because it has 2GB of memory. It should work better in Eyefinity, but now i have FPS drops.

IL-2 runs okay, but sometimes screen freezes and FPS drops to 1 or 0.

Has anyone else this kind of broblems?
