6790 to 6870 flash

I was implying that if it was not laser cut then it could flash just like a 6950 can to a 6970. So what is flawed about that? I guess it is usually referred to as "unlocking". Here is an example:

I understood what you posted. 
I haven't heard of those cards unlocking. Being out for so long, one would think this would have come up by now.
The flawed logic statement arise from making the assume motion that because its the same architecture it can be unlocked/flashed. This is by far the exception.
That said, if you have another card try!

Yeah true in retrospect I have always known that most cards won't flash due to the same architecture, I just assumed it would be possible if it was not laser cut since another 6000 series card was able to, but according to a review site AMD told them that they are cut, so that explains why you or I haven't heard anyone successfully doing it
Reviving an older thread, but...
I was researching the same thing, and I came across this:

So it seems that unlocking is indeed possible with a special bios. Haven't found anything else about that bios though.
