Congrats dude and as d3p5kor said, they won't check your birth certificate. So just enter a fake birth year.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to register my Sapphire card too for gold membership.

Thanks!
I wonder why the idea of fake age didn't come to my mind! Thanks for telling me :thumbs:

It extends right till the end of the mobo (ATX) length wise, exactly the same length as the mobo.

And yeah sure, I'll contact you if I sell this one but that all depends if the new cards get good reviews. I certainly won't be spending 30k for 10-20% performance boost. It would make more sense to crossfire this one instead if that turns out to be the case.

Btw are you thinking of crossfiring your 1GB card with my 2GB? Don't think it will work.


It will work, although not recommended by AMD. ;) Actually any 69xx card can be used.

In any case, can sell my 1gb and get another 2gb also.

And regarding that length, the card is same as my 1gb version except the amount of RAM. So you can very well say goodbye to 6970 unlock. :(

I never had any intention of unlocking it to a 6970 and risk damaging it in the first place. Besides the performance gain is meagre and not worth the risk. Many people who flashed their cards earlier to a 6970 are now beginning to report failed cards. This shows there are both short term and long terms effects of running the 6950 at 6970 timings, voltage and clocks.

The thing about crossfiring is, if you crossfire different versions of the same card, it will default to the lowest denominators of the two cards. Also VRAM doesn't add up while crossfiring (hope you know that). So 1GB+2GB will only give you 1GB.

1. Not exactly 6970 unlock but what about unlocking just the shaders? Although I do agree on that performance part. It's really not worth experimenting at this stage.

2. These days crossfire work at individual cards speed, shader count etc. That's the reason you can CFX different cards of the same family. So all the Cayman cards (6990, 6970, 6950) can be crossfired. Similarly all the Barts card can be crossfired (6870, 6850, 6790). Main thing is, the way prices of 2gb version has come down, I don't think manufacturers will be interested to keep the 1gb cards in the market for a long time. And who is going to miss 1gb extra RAM for some 500 bucks? ;)
