I was reading in the 6970 vs 570 thread and read that you can unlock the 6950 to perform just about the same as a 6970??? Is there a detailed guide on how to do this.

lol. its not a phone!
if you are going to do this you need to be aware that you can brick your card, and it may not happen instantly. doing this also increases clock speeds and things can become unstable. the best way is to find a bios and make sure the clock speeds are the same as what you have, particularly the ram speed so that way your just unlocking shaders. then if you want to bump up the clocks after you can use msi afterburner or something.
