Overclocking
The 6950 features a BIOS switch enabling you to overclock one BIOS and even fry its brains out, and having the ability to switch back to its unaltered state. The stock speed of this card is 800MHz GPU clock with a 1250MHz memory clock.
To find the maximum overclock, we used MSI Afterburner to increase the clock speeds by 10MHz at a time, whilst relying on GPU-Z for clarification of the speeds and Furmark to test stability.
The results that we obtain can only be used as a guideline as to what this range of cards can do. Obviously every card has a different core among other vital parts, and therefore each card will give slightly varied results.
The overclocks that we were able to obtain at full stability were 950MHz Core/GPU clock and 1438MHz memory clock which from the stock 800MHz were quite impressive giving a huge increase of 150MHz whilst the memory clock still had a reasonable increase of 180MHz.
