so what did you change in that bios and how ?
new voltset mode with RBE 1.21/Hex/GPUTOOL ,and it works:)
then just playing a little with something more voltset

More to come soon i hope!!!:p:
crustytheclown, what's there under "NDA" cover? :D
Some Hipro's ref mod? :p:
Sorry for double post but because i got some pms about this i have to tell you that i can't post the complete mod yet.But it's coming....
Also i'm sorry to inform you that the card has ovp triggering(stupid red light).i will try something else i have in mind to bypass it and i will come back!!!
booooo! :D
Updates?
Do the exact hardmode 4890 !

ive just got a 4890 card and im not sure what max i can get out of mine .....Asus ATI Radeon HD 4890 TOP HTDI 1024MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI PCI-Express - Retail
900MHz Core, 1024MB 4000MHz GDDR5 Memory, 800 Stream Processors i cant seem to install the overdrive utility on windows 7 64 just says fail to start. anyone help me thank you
anyone have the FIX BIOS ?? share plzzz :D
There is no spoon...
:D
After QC a bios will get leaked.
Here you go gentlemans!

Enjoy and push the limits!
Will it work on HIS cards?
It should work on all reference 4890 cards. If the PCB is different or the bios file size, do not flash it.
Reminder:
Everyone have to remember, that by flashing this bios you will loose warranty on your card. If you damage or break hardware by trying this, it is only your own fault. So, if you are not 100%, that you know what you are doing, don't do it.
Suggestion: Use latest atiflash.
if ppl brick it it may be possible to reflash back to original bios
i suggest you guys read eva's thread if you are noobs in flashing VGA bioses like me hehe
saved my 4870X2 while experimenting with bios mods last week ahahah
oh i also have a handy PCI Matrox VGA card for reflashing card back to original

Thanks :up:
I re-shared the file. A packaged file is saver.

Works fine on all my HIS cards, Thanks... :up:
Is the 2 fan ASUS TOP model still considered reference? It's the black and red version, with 2 fans, and a 6 pin + 8 pin power connection.
So.. is this confirmed to do anything for HD4890 under LN2? I'm going to put a single HD4890 under LN2 and curious if this will gain me anything.
Only thing I see it done is increased the core clock in CCC to a maximum of 1500, still have to give it some voltage or I do on air...
Well, try your card on LN2. Then flash the fix bios and see if something will get better.
I got a huge gain in clockspeeds:

Again:
This bios will not make any card overclock better. It will remove some limitations from bios, so the card can go to it's limit without problems.
Voltage + PWM design is the next issue. Hipro etc. can bypass this and then these cards will fly.
I have done my part now.
ok i will help to

So this was done without new bios. Cool! Your card will not need this bios, but you can try it. I am interested to hear how it goes.
Plese, stop posting these 1050MHz screens. Those individual scores have nothing to do with this stuff here. I think every 4890 will do 1050MHz :shrug:
@ SF3D
I'm new experiment is testing with 1100/1250 mhz stock cooler, air at this speed test is greater attempt to make the top-level cooling single stage or ln2. 1100 + mhz gpu.
publish information for.;)
all
protection of the OVP have cards to the voltage on the 1.45 departure vgpu is entering the protection circuit to disable this mode, hard mode OVP conditions.
Plese, stop posting these 1050MHz screens. Those individual scores have nothing to do with this stuff here. I think every 4890 will do 1050MHz
My Asus Tops can only do 1015/1200 in 3DMark06. Any Higher Core MHz then the Firefly Benchmark will freeze in various places.
This is with VCore of up to 1.4375v.
Maybe I should try backing off the Memory to 1150 and then see if I can get past 1015 on the Core???
@ Kensek
ati limited maximum vgpu voltage 1.45 / I need more for the hard-mode!
4890 1100 / 1250 mhz air stock cooler, with extra fan, 2006 benchmark pass:)
nice bios:up: But I can not edit voltset In this bios:confused: whit rbe tool.
I got a MSI 4890 OC mode bios whit 1.4375v there run 1065 on air.
would be nice,to set high voltset to,In this bios from SF3D
http://www.octeamdenmark.com/forums/...ead.php?t=3958
I believe it is. I should try it so I can see if Auto Tune can detect the cards Max Core MHz above 1000. If it can??

Yeah, thats the card, please let me know if you flash without issue. :)
This is Xtremesystems :) Warnings are ment to be ignored. I clearly said, that dont flash this, if your PCB or bios file size is different from reference.
Well, your card should be ok with blind flash. Those cards might already have he change in bios, so this might not be needed anyway. This is for the reference stock cards.
SF3D:
the FIX BIOS is only under LN2?
With single card you can have some gain on air as well. Most of the cards will not go too high in triple or quad CF, so in those cases this will not propably help. If you use LN2 and 3/4 way CF, it is different situation and I suggest to try this bios.
In my case, all reference (separately tested) cards failed at 1070MHz on air, but with this bios those cards could go up to 1070MHz- 1100MHz on air depending how good the cores were.
So testing this bios is the only way to see, if there is any help.
I put in the other Asus Top and was able to flash the bricked one back to life with its Original Top Bios.
But thanx for giving me an Opportunity to try to use CCC to get above 1000.
Been using RivaTuner where my issues at benching begin at 1018 Core with 1.40+ v
thanks, now i tested 1075/1250 in air in 3Dmak 03 with PII 550Be stock:

1085/1250 Fail in the fourth test
yeah as long as ppl BACKUP the old bios first it should be fine....just read the thread i linked to
that way if you brick it you should be able to get it back to life still fellas
Thanks ALL
especially SF3D for sharing the mod bios of 4890 finally
tested bios:
from 1130 on ln2 in cf to 1190(not tested higher):up:
i finished ln2, i think i can go higher:)
ps can we use this mod bios on hwbot?
@ carpo93
4890 air stock cooler vgpu 1.45 1100 / 1250 mhz 2006 benchmark pass.
your 4890 ln2 1130 mhz gpu lower right?
I need more to go.
Thanks a bunch for sharing SF3D, always appreciated :up:
I got a 4890 coming back from RMA and I will test this bios in CF soon :)
mine with old BIOS still can do 1000 mhz
I do not know that program.
oh.. petri.. now I MUST try 4 cards on ln2.. to much work :(
double LOL dinos22:ROTF:
:rofl:
:clap:
4890 1.6 vgpu 1400+ mhz days to add ss :devil:
What program? :D
Wow, very promising it seems :D
This bios came to late for me, all 3 cards where sold.
To bad, waiting for 4890X2 :)
Is the Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X 870mhz gpu a reference card?
pictures on the phone. bluetoth, I could not transfer defective. work is not finished yet, gets very hot.
now that the fastest

Wow! :down:
EXPANDER, will show the hard mode ;)? or you will show 3256436256 screens with high mhz and no benchmarks :D
I can push my gpu in 2d that high too. Come on, show us some scores with that frequency:yepp:
bin size it's the same , the card is the blue sapphire reference, same pcb or the red but i cannot flash the bios said SSID mismatched.... what the hell ?? how can i do this flash ?
EDIT: problem solved with -f command :D
You can check what pixel fillrate and texture fillrate are at 1250MHz : http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=225
(for lazy ones: 20GP/s and 50GT/s)
Expander.. this is not the first time you post some paint screens. Why do you need to put those white bars in there. Something under NDA :D
Please, don't do it anymore. Show us some full benchmarks and pictures of modifications. I am getting really tired of your play here :shakes:
Anyone here with some real results?
others to share hardmode.
4890 Wampire Hard Mod, currently in operation.
Faking FTL... Nicely spotted, guys.
:shakes:
:down:
pixel/texture fillrate me too does not appear!
gpuz or windows 7 64 bit,
error source!
Yes, that is typical situation. If your card can do 1200MHz+ with original bios, you will not need this fixed one. It will not help you at all.
Funny, that this thread is mostly populated by people with "good" cards. All the guys who got gain from this fix are not posting anything. Well, that is the way it goes :D
Well, i'm not a hard overclocker but even then i'd love to see how far my watercooled Sapphire goes but the thing is... i don't really know how to extend the 1000MHz limit in CCC for overclocking, pardon me the noobness :rolleyes::D
If someone could clarify that for me, i'd try it.
Does anyone know if its possible to increase voltage on the sapphire 4890 vapor-x through software? Ive read that it might not be possible.. Im getting my card soon so i hope its possible.
If its not, is it possible to reflash bios and set higher voltage that way?
I think to use software to adjust over 1.4+ u need to move 2 resistors:
http://a.imagehost.org/0234/85.jpg
The 2 pins should be 1,1 , I think they are 0, 0 now, i think the 2 corresponding pull-low resistors moved down becomes pull-high then prolly more volts can be used by software.
@ LardArse
correctly identified, required try.
[ Ovp ] mode is required.
