Overclocking is probably your problem, my 6950 is modded only in shaders unlocking, i didn't overclocked it. You should try modding your original bios, unlocking only the shaders.

Same boat as "albx", only BIOS modded but only the shaders unlock applied, didnt touch the core and memory clock (just tried at first with overclocked settings some tests and all worked ok, but Im not so sure the memory can take it for long). Finished CRISIS 2 and PORTAL 2 without issues.

Il-2 1946 freezed on my (after hours online) a couple of times, but I think its only because this game is more NVIDIA friendly and after 10 years the ATI cards changed more than the competition in software drivers.

when i get a new computer I will probably dump ati after 10 years... they just don't seem to do as well with flight sims as nvidia does... just very tired of the battle to get it all running good..

and yes, my computer is getting very outdated,, runs il-2 good, black shark maxed and ok, but not great.. but forget running cod...

Well I put the original bios back to see for sure that the card itself isn't faulty, or did I brick it with my OCing .. Luckily it seems to work ok. Will try to just unlock next.

Dont do it...

If your talking about flashing the bios up to a 6970 i suggest you revert back to stock, Im hearing some bad things regarding that procedure regarding the voltage control to the bios once flashed

what are you talking about? I said to mod HIS bios to enable only the shaders, not to modify voltage and clock settings

Hmm..

As i said 'IF' your talking about...so calm down

Flashing a 6950 to a 6970 is a sure fire way to up your stock speeds and shader clock which is what i 'thought' (hence the question) you were talking about..

Doing that increases voltage unknowingly to the bios causing alot of overclockers problems and binning their cards

FYI
