    Lol, lets see what she can do.

    EDIT: Awww, voltage only sticks when stock clocked :(

    Also cant bios flash as I cant extract the full size bios yet. However in the future there is room to improve =)

    Kewl. :D

    I can only change the OC bars, voltage is still at 0,900V.

    Also i took bios reading and stats, zipped them and uploaded them here.
    (Im bored. D: )

    Ha! Radeon BIOS Editor FTW! I can overvolt and overclock via BIOS. Yet sadly, I can't do any voltage editing in the programs. :(

    Hmmm... I guess it doesn't change anything... did you verify the voltage with GPU-Z?

    I tried to flash a higher voltage to my 6970m, but it didn't work... the voltage got forced down to 1.0V and clocks to something like 400/900MHz.

    Hope you guys have more luck with your cards.

    Yeah it works 1.15v (Stock 1.05v) when running on my overclocking speeds at 815/1065. However, anything beyond will force the card into its lockdown clock speeds. My FirePro is really a touchy card as well...

    I also BIOS mod because sometimes my overclocks will falter and my card will downclock to 500/1000 in intense gaming sessions via software OC and running Trixx or Afterburner will sometimes hard lock BC2 MP like 15 minutes in (a well known issue BTW). With a BIOS mod, my card is forced to run at 815/1065 and failsafes at stock if needed because I am cool like that!

    voltage changes at stock clocks, gpuz agrees.

    Though that's not really useful... overvolting at stock clocks. Keep us updated in case you flash the card with a higher voltage and clocks.

    Good luck!!

    Bios modded to 1.1v =) Other technical issues are hampering progress however.
