Don't do eet! You'll brick your card! They are incompatible!
I suggest going to some hardware forum and asking first or finding some info before you do anything. check this post http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037084150&postcount=16.
You don't have a bios switch right?
Once you're confident enough that you know what you're doing, dump your bios, make about 15 backup copies, modify it with RBE, and pray that you can flash it back. Or, even better, see if you can find an already modded, working bios for YOUR SPECIFIC CARD on a forum.
good luck

If you want modding/overclocking options, ask on an overclocking forum (i.e. EOCF).
A 2GB card likely will have different memory timings, memory, size, etc. programmed into the bios that all could bork your card. Your 1GB card is not capable of running these settings at default.

flash it and u r guaranteed to brick your card.
why is that, several people have done it successfully.

Load the bios into RBE, unlock shaders and write back the bios.
Most of the newer cards are actually locked (either flash is protected, or they're fused). So good luck.

Do not flash 2gb bios, use RBE to read your card bios then unlock the shaders.
hello, i would like to flash my 6950 to a 9670 using the BIOS as many have done already.
the only thing is that i have a 1GB version and on this page only BIOSes for 2GB cards can be found:
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?page=1&architecture=&manufacturer=&model=HD+6970&interface=&memSize=0
is it safe to also use this BIOS for the 1GB model?
thanks!
