@@RandomGaminginHD Thanks! BTW. sice you're here. Let me thank you for something else. You actually inspired me to make my own budget-tech, crappy-pc UA-cam channel. Unfortunatelly - despite that I'm living in Sotland - it's all in Polish :V
You're on of my favorite tech channels man! Most everybody is testing the newest and latest. You're trying to breathe life into adequate older tech. My kinda stuff
Watching other big UA-cam channels, it’s easy to feel like our PC setups are inferior when all you see is 2080ti this and Titan Z that. That’s why I come here and watch all your vids. They’re practical, turning old into new and about getting the most out of any setup whether it be new or old.
I love your channel because I do this locally with flea markets and Craigslist. I enjoy doing it, and my friends call me the "PC man" because I always hook them up after LAN parties and give them the PC they played on :)
Dickert Lardfart I played Fallout 4 and GTA V on HD 6870 (same design as this card, also very loud and hot) and the difference between 1080p and 720p was indeed not as taxing as some of the settings (namely godrays in FO4 or antialiasing in GTA). Although generally, 900p was a go-to resolution for most of games from 2015. _Then it overheated and died._
The problem with everybody looking into Metro Exodus is that like first 30 minutes are NOT a good representation, I had over 60 FPS, once you get to the open world area, 20-ish FPS on average... (If you "face" the open world, if you "look away" to where the map ends I still got 60)
I got my hands on a (free) Radeon 6870 recently. Supposedly dead, but it worked fine. Also with the stock cooler and quite noisy, but no where near as noisy as the one in your video. It ran quite hot, around 80ºC during load, so changed the paste, but didn't help either (maybe 1 or 2 degrees). I did notice the heatsink of my 6870 was way smaller than the heatsink of your 6950. I mean, the card has the same size, plastic shroud and such, but the heatsink itself is small on the 6870 and it's no suprise that it gets so hot and loud! I didn't run any modern titles on it, but stuff from it's era, and it was a major upgrade compared to the Radeon 5770 I was using in that PC up until then.
It's pretty impressive to see this card perform so well at 1080p. But realistically speaking 720p or 1280x1024 would be a more reasonable resolution for this card as it was probably the resolution it was designed for back in the day with the 2gb VRAM. Also really happy to see you got it fixed and working, even though practically you would be better off buying an RX550 or 560 at this point and get a similar performance with less power draw and better driver support.
I don't know if you guys noticed but he was screen recording and it shows on the left corner under the framerates which then in itself takes a heavy toll on ingame frame rate and I'm assuming this card does a little better than what it shown in the video if that's the case. If I'm wrong please tell me. Speaking from experience.
9 years ago that was the high tier amount. 3 years ago its entry level. I agree It's weird at first glance though. Think of how 4 GB ram was overkill or enthusiasts only at the early 2000's, and was considered minimum for office tasks for early 2010s. Also GPU cores, core clock, architecture etc play the majority of the role when it comes to performance. Vram amount is just a tiny part of it
Sometimes you can't flash a BIOS from a different card onto the GPU with the GUI version from atiwinflash. Instead you need to use the commands. This way I flashed the Sapphire RX 570 Pulse BIOS on an RX 570 Pulse ITX Card, which didn't got recognized from the driver. Now it's working. Even an HD7950 can be reflashed this way with an R9 280 BIOS to get the UEFI BIOS for faster boot and a bit higher clocked.
I've upgraded my X58 system with a Xeon X5650 6 core CPU last week and I see a lot of improvements and it's UA-cam channels like these that makes me want to buy more abandoned hardware and build more PC's
Awesome.the 6950 was my first gpu upgrade.bought it for 18 euros.Eventually fitted a chipset waterblock and watercooled it for fun.Worked great until i tried pulling off the vram heatsinks i installed.Rip 6950.Great video!
ok so here's one for you - i have HD7970 dual-x witch i bought used - one of the fans was not spinning, so i just put a random fan on the card with zip tights, and it was working fine for 3-4 years. then i put together a new build, but i was a bit short on money, so i decided i'll use the 7970 for another year or so. i ordered brand new set of fans for it, cleaned it good and put the new fans - it was running like brand new for 3-4 months, and then, just like that, fans where on 100% speed from the second i would turn the pc on. works as it should in terms of performance, and obviously temps are even better because of the fans stuck on 100%, but WHY is it like that? and what could i do about it?
I got a Sapphire HD4890 a few months back that was completely sealed by dust and other debris, it was making an awful noise, yet nothing close to what this 6950 was making on arrival.
You’ve got to be kidding me, I bought one for 10 dollars and had the same issue. I got the drivers for it and it was still sounding like an ac-130 so I just ditched it. And all I had to do was clean it? Unbelievable
Could be that there was dust in the fan or between the gpu die making one part of the gpu really hot, or caused the fanspeed pwm to fail. But yeah, rip. Though there are now better options on the market. Had a 6850 myself at one point.

Not even a second my pc suddenly turn off and restart. I tried go to setting turn all to LOW settings. Poooofff, same result. Lmao. I dont know what to do. Dust-cleaning ? Done. Check other parts ? Done. Softwares ? Done. Run Test 3DMARK ? Pass but with a noise like a snake. Im not sure if Im right that the problem is comes from my gpu ?
Watch out for these HD 6950's, I have a pair of them and one literally caught on fire this morning and nearly caught my house on fire. These power-hungry cards always made me a little nervous. My friend gave me the pair because he was mining bitcoin with them, but I could never stand to run them paired because they're so damn noisy, even just running them single.
I'm currently using this card with an old i5. Ever since direct 11 and 12 came for the update I can't play call of duty any more. What do you recommend upgrading to? I don't want anything fancy just want to play cod again.
Usually flashing a card to unlock extra stream processors is a bit of a gamble. A lot of times the reason they're locked is because cheaper cards are often just poorly binned higher cards and enabling those stream processors could cause instability.
I have a Sapphire toxic variant of the 6950 (2gb of vram) and the card works fine, but cleaning and installing the drivers multiple times has not fixed that for me. Also, msi afterburner, as well as the catalyst control center is showing a temperature of -128 degrees. According to some old forum posts, it's a normal problem with the 6900 series, and the thermal sensor is dead, at leas it's what i read. Anyone know if it can be saved? Again, the card works perfectly, and it shows no artifacts. It was never flashed to a 6970, and it had normal use, before being put in a box after being replaced with a new one.
I used to own a HD 6950 back in the day. Really smooth performing card for the titles at the time, and I never had any issues with mine. I had the Sapphire 2GB model, with dual fans, so cooling was significantly better than with the blower versions. This card had the BIOS switch on it, that let you switch between a standard 6950 and a 6970. It was not that stable if you ran it at 6970 speeds, but you could still clock it down to the levels of a standard 6950, and it ran like a dream, with all shader units unlocked. I got it stable at +50 on the core and +200 (total frequency) on the memory
Great video. One tip, if I may: after unlock, overvolt the card. Lots of time they lock shaders if the card needs more voltage to be stable. As you overvolt, no hurt to try a higher clock speed too.
terrible idea. best thing you do with blower style cards is leave them at stock speeds and undervolt them as far as they'll go stably instead. noise has to be carefully managed. not worth squeezing the shitty improvements you get from heavy overclocking.
You can lubricate old fans and that can quiet them up. You may have to dig in the plastic some to find the bearing though. I have a video adapter with a bad fan on it and it howls. But after a drop of oil it runs fine for months.
I had two of these cards in my bitcoin mining rig back in the old days. got the copper water blocks for them and that helped. So I could have unlocked extra shaders??
Now that you mentioned it during the Metro part, can you please reintroduce the "Playing Games at Min/Recommended Requirements" series? I really enjoyed that. You can even keep using the Ryzen bench system, I don't care.

I've just bought a gtx 1060 3gb from ebay I'm so happy that I can finally swap out my gtx 1050 2gb
Yeah but I bought it for £103 so for that price I'm pritty happy
What a poor choice should of went the with the 6gig version
Yeah but as I have stated I got it very cheap and I didn't have a lot of money
Got an rtx 2070 for 440€ just recently :O
Got an r9 290x for 80€ back in November
Wouldn't using something MSI Afterburner to control the fan speed be of benefit here too?
69 nice
Incredible what you can get out of such an old card. If only I still had my Matrox Mystique & PowerVR...
If you want a jet engine try a ps4
I always make sure to have headphones on while playing fortnite or apex with my friends. It's just LOUD and nearly unbearable. I'm going to order some thermal paste as it is just comically loud at this point.
@@noahherritt6452 hehehe
@@theavidgamer6213 Mine sounds like a jet engine on Netflix.
No suprise, the PS4 Pro's Heatsink is a joke for the TDP far above 100W: imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/4/54940_8_ps4-pro-reportedly-melting-case.jpg
Xbox One X's is around twice as large I guess, also includes a vapor chamber: edge.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/half.jpg
not sure if u read old comments, but whats the compressed air u buy and is it safe to use on your hardware? im from england too not sure where to buy some
NO! NEVER!
The HD 6990 it's still the most horrible :D goo.gl/ZeP1Tc
Hey can you test a gtx 770? My family has had that card for a while, and I was wondering if I should buy a newer card like a gtx 1030 or 1030ti.
I love playing 🔪E
Im wonder if this case almost same like mine. I got a 1060 6gb oc .. and the crucial part is whenever I ran a game like Apex,PoE and Warframe at recommended setting based on my specs. Not even a second my pc suddenly turn off and restart. I tried go to setting turn all to LOW settings. Poooofff, same result. Lmao. I dont know what to do. Dust-cleaning ? Done. Check other parts ? Done. Softwares ? Done. Run Test 3DMARK ? Pass but with a noise like a snake. Im not sure if Im right that the problem is comes from my gpu ?
This, and the blower on the Vega 64 - why why WHY underneath the shroud did they use ALUMINIUM FINS ON A TINY HEATSINK?!?!
Watch out for these HD 6950's, I have a pair of them and one literally caught on fire this morning and nearly caught my house on fire. These power-hungry cards always made me a little nervous. My friend gave me the pair because he was mining bitcoin with them, but I could never stand to run them paired because they're so damn noisy, even just running them single.
I'm currently using this card with an old i5. Ever since direct 11 and 12 came for the update I can't play call of duty any more. What do you recommend upgrading to? I don't want anything fancy just want to play cod again.
Usually flashing a card to unlock extra stream processors is a bit of a gamble. A lot of times the reason they're locked is because cheaper cards are often just poorly binned higher cards and enabling those stream processors could cause instability.
I have a Sapphire toxic variant of the 6950 (2gb of vram) and the card works fine, but cleaning and installing the drivers multiple times has not fixed that for me. Also, msi afterburner, as well as the catalyst control center is showing a temperature of -128 degrees. According to some old forum posts, it's a normal problem with the 6900 series, and the thermal sensor is dead, at leas it's what i read. Anyone know if it can be saved? Again, the card works perfectly, and it shows no artifacts. It was never flashed to a 6970, and it had normal use, before being put in a box after being replaced with a new one.
I used to own a HD 6950 back in the day. Really smooth performing card for the titles at the time, and I never had any issues with mine.
I had the Sapphire 2GB model, with dual fans, so cooling was significantly better than with the blower versions.
This card had the BIOS switch on it, that let you switch between a standard 6950 and a 6970.
It was not that stable if you ran it at 6970 speeds, but you could still clock it down to the levels of a standard 6950, and it ran like a dream, with all shader units unlocked. I got it stable at +50 on the core and +200 (total frequency) on the memory
Great video.
One tip, if I may: after unlock, overvolt the card. Lots of time they lock shaders if the card needs more voltage to be stable.
As you overvolt, no hurt to try a higher clock speed too.
terrible idea. best thing you do with blower style cards is leave them at stock speeds and undervolt them as far as they'll go stably instead. noise has to be carefully managed. not worth squeezing the shitty improvements you get from heavy overclocking.
I have a 290x that works until trying to play a game. Screen goes black and loses display output. Any ideas?
You can lubricate old fans and that can quiet them up. You may have to dig in the plastic some to find the bearing though. I have a video adapter with a bad fan on it and it howls. But after a drop of oil it runs fine for months.
I had two of these cards in my bitcoin mining rig back in the old days. got the copper water blocks for them and that helped. So I could have unlocked extra shaders??
My Vega 64 reference card doesn't get that loud even at 4000 rpm on the blower.
I really need to clean my card at some point. Thanks for the reminder.
Great video! I like taking old FirePro cards and using them as cheap gaming cards for older builds.
Why you didn't used a vram usage On your msi afterburner monitoring?
I had two 6970s for two years. Those two winters were my warmest.
I wonder if it would of helped to reinstall the driver after you flashed the BIOS.
Now that you mentioned it during the Metro part, can you please reintroduce the "Playing Games at Min/Recommended Requirements" series? I really enjoyed that. You can even keep using the Ryzen bench system, I don't care.
sounds like its fan curve program is broken and its ramping up past its set limits so if its left like that it will probably explode the fan blades
Who else was watching this video 2 in the morning and had your ear right up to the phones speaker, trying to hear it at 1:20, untill it then blurts out the noise right into your ear. (Man, it hurted)
