ASUS pre-sales claims the “power-up” wattage of the P8Q67M-DO MB is 330w. This is without a proc. or RAM. Can anyone with a three digit I.Q. tell me if this sounds even remotely possible ???

I just bought the ASUS EAH6950 2GB video card running on a 24inch LED monitor but i find the graphics not being sharp. The edges around the fonts are abit fuzzy and videos are not sharp as well. Anyone know why this is so?

Oh yeah, found it so annoying how i had to play around with the scaling option to get full display on my monitor!

You can get the card to run at 970 MHz. I also had difficulty with Smart Doctor. Check my review at http://www.bjorn3d.com

[…] I just reinstalled Catalyst 10.12 (I installed the package without OpenCL) on my devstation for my ASUS HD 6950 and I was suprised to see OpenCL support in GPU Caps Viewer. Actually, the OpenCL support comes […]

@Psolord: thanks for the links bug. Fixed!
And yes the HD6950 score in Crysis is correct. I will bench again HD 6970 and HD 6950 when new drivers will be available because some scores (especially in OpenGL) are not coherent. For Crysis, I used the integrated GPU benchmark with default settings (I forgot the resolution sorry).

I wonder how much of AMD GPU’s lack of performance is due to the quality of their drivers.

Great stuff Jego! At last some gaming benchies! 😀

Some notes:

– The links at the first page do not work. Numbers 2 through 8 point to
http://www.geeks3d.com/20110117/tested-asus-radeon-hd-6950-2gb-gddr5-review/

– Is the 6950 Crysis score correct?

Personnal notes:

– Did AMD fix Hawx 2 at last? Cool! I haven’t done any testing on my 5850s recently.

– Now that the time finally came to play Crysis as it was supposed to be played, I gotten myself two new Geforces instead of two new Radeons, lol. No regrets though. The game runs fine. It’s actually cpu limited now. 😀
