I have 2 HD6950's which I wanted to use for ETH mining – but I have the well known DAG allocation problem.
I can't find a solution for this problem – that's why I'm asking here. And please don't tell me to just buy new cards…
The card has 2 Gb of ram which should usually be enough. I tried to set GPU allocation to 95 and 100% but without success.
I use Windows 7 64 bit. If it is 1,4 GB and my card has 2 GB it should work easy?

It seems the HD6950 is limited to a 512MB allocation even with much more RAM onboard.
I sorted that out by replacing with files found here which load the DAG in chunks rather than as one monolithic file.
I'm getting a woeful hashrate of 1.2MH/s but maybe that's my 2008 vintage P35 motherboard :)
I'd love to know what numbers you end up getting.
