so what anil told at the start is most probably right. the GPU or the memory chips have got corrupted due to excessive benchmarking.

guys had a pm discussion with asingh. updated every driver including chipset, gpu.
and played civ5 for 1 hour 15 min without problems.
so does every benchmark affects the gpu?

^^ excess of everything is bad. you benchmarked your GPU a bit too hard. first of all you overclocked it & then stretched it to its limit.
BTW GPU still overclocked or running at stock now?

^^ Are you getting more bsod's? If yes, then RMA seems to be the best option. Cilus faced similar problems and found out that some of his memory modules were corrupt.
Sapphire has some excellent service in kolkata and he got a new 6870 within 3 days. Same must be in your place and 6950 is a high end card and therefore has high priority in the replacement queue.
P.S- After you get your new card, don't stress it anymore , whether benchmarking or overclocking. Use it at stock because 6950 is a very powerful card at stock & you don't need to overclock.
When games start becoming heavy, then you can overclock a bit. But i think all new game releases this year will run flawlessly in a 6950 at fullhd. So your gaming needs are completely covered.

baba bsods and crashes during gaming.
asingh IGP problem gone away but still gpu z shows less memory frequency. so these softwares must be optimized of discreet cards. what say?

OK....was reading the thread
now why did you do OCing and running testing s/w like furmark so frequently?
heck...even those hardware reviewers don't do this stuff that frequently
btw from where did you bought this card?
