Yeah I saw that, I may give that a shot but I feel like I've been wasting time trying to squeeze performance out of this card while I should just leave it up mining lol. Also the bios that I would flash to wouldn't be the 6970 bios, it'd be a modified 6950 with the shaders unlocked. So I'm worried I may still have the throttling problem if I try to overclock it after I unlock the shaders (if that's even possible on this card)
