The HD6950 is a fairly mature card, which means that the top tier partners have had time to perfect their designs and implement functional improvements. Sapphire chose to customize the cooler on their DiRT 3 Special Editon HD6950, which [H]ard|OCP took advantage of to focus on overclocking. Sapphire’s TRIXX Tweak Utility played a big part in their testing, especially when overvolting the card. Check out the full review here.

Will this overclock yield a better gameplay experience?"
