I have recently upgraded my video cards to from 5850's to 6950's and for some reason even tho the catalyst info says 6950's the Directx diag file show "Card name: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series" even tho I completely swept my drivers before installing the new 6950's I have tried reinstalling the drivers and I keep getting the same info.
Here is a screen shot of the catalyst info
Here is what the directX diag file says
anyone know what is going on here or how I can fix it?

You need to show hidden devices in device manager. You will see your old video card. Right click on it and choose Uninstall.
To show hidden devices :
- Run this bat. It will activate possibility of showing devices.
- In devices manager, click View > Show hidden devices.
Open up elevated command prompt and type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and press ENTER. Then type start devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
Now click show hidden devices. You shall see a greyed out 5800 series card under Display Adapters. Uninstall the ghosted 5800 series entries. I had this same problem as you before.

I used my never ending supply of deductive logic to find for you... that you can edit this in the registry.
I renamed my GTS 450 to prove it for you. Also outputs in the diag text. View attachment 224752
