I have a Sapphire X850XT PCI-Express card and I want to flash it to PE. I haven't been able to find a Sapphire X850XT PE BIOS anywhere, but I didn't find an ATI bios. Since they are practically the same card, anyone think this might be ok to flash? Or would I really need a Sapphire BIOS?

Well, I tried to flash withthe bios you gave me and I'm sure it would have been fine, but it complained about the SSID being different. I know I can change it and I thought I had modified it with RaBit so that the one you posted up matched what my bios dump listed. I'll have to try again.

I used atiflash to flash mine

I figured out how to force the BIOS change. Here's the interesting part. Before the BIOS update I was OC'ing with ATITool to 540/590 and it was failing on artifact check in atitool, but seemed to work fine at those speeds. Now, after the bios update to PE, 540/590, I passed artifact check for over 98mins. I know the memory timings between regular XT and PE are different, but is there also core voltage differences that make the clock better too? Just curious.
