Ser ut til at HD 6970 blir bedre enn jeg først trodde. Dette blir spennende!

Noen som har funnet ut hva denne er til? Powertune?

We managed to score a few more details regarding the mystery switch located next to the Crossfire connectors on the HD 6970 card.

 

According to what we know so far, the HD 6970 will have a dual BIOS and the switch is used exactly for that. The switch has two settings and according to AMD's own slides, the setting 2 makes it "protected as factory default", while the setting 1 is unprotected for user updates.

 

Either it means that AMD will release a BIOS that gives you more performance but also raises power consumption or something else, it is still not clear, but it sure does sounds pretty interesting.

 

Of course, we will know for sure on 15th of December.

The secret of the AMD 6900's second switch

What does it do? Easy enough, it swaps the shader count. The 'normal' count is 1920 for a 205W 6970 card, and the switch opens up the full force of all 2520 shaders. The reason this switch is set to 'low' is that between the clock speed advances, 730MHz/1920 shaders to 920MHz/2520 shaders, it blows the card through the 300W cap for PCIe cards.

 

This switch is an elegant way of going from sub-GTX570 performance to way way way over GTX580 performance, and still getting PCIe certification. Very slick guys, well done. If you don't have the right drivers though, the switch does basically nothing, which is why those who bough the card retail haven't seen the results they think they should get.

My epic sense is tingeling.

Tror F... meg jeg skal kjøpe et slikt kort, så jeg også kan klage på strømforbruk og temp

Urk, ble helt i fyr og flamme jeg når jeg leste "spøken". Back to earth and still waiting

[Ivantacus]

Tror ikke jeg takler flere spøker i dag ihvertfall, har rett og slett ikke hjerte til det =/

Når går NDA ut? Midnatt i USA?

I can confirm the German results are fake.

Well, my 6970 from Sapphire arrived.

They've specifically gave a download exclusively to the latest drivers which truly unlock the performance, and it's beating a stock 580 in Heaven, albeit the max FPS is a little lower.
