I can't get over 850MHz on gpu, I'm using Gecube HD3850 512 OC Edition.
850MHz everything is fine but over it sys crashes ???
with or without mod?
without a mod i can only get 860 stable...
EDIT: my bad! 760 is the max stable without a mod for me!
I am in the same situation, the difference is that I have a Powercolor HD3850 512 PCS.Quote:

I made the pencil mod (vgpu=1.38v), so what is limiting my overclock is the bios.
Does anyone have a bios that is unlocked for this card?
@saaya, with mod, without I could get only 750
@Thoth36 after updating gfx bios I don't have that problem any more, now I can get 890MHz but it is unstable on my current V ;)
yeah my bad, it was a typo :DQuote:

If someone can fix the 860Mhz limit, or direct me to a place where I can download an unlocked one, I would be very grateful.
Here you go :)
It's from GeCube 3850 512 X-Turbo III, works fine above 860, enjoy.
Thanks Greg_1, I tried that bios, and apparently it does not lock the system above 860, but I had to reinstall the drivers (not a problem).Quote:

Long time lurker
seldom poster, in dire need of help.
I have two sapphire 3850 512mb cards. I cannot find a bios that works for the life of me. Everything is either subsystem IDs do not match or cannot find Vbios image file. I am using ati winflash, because I have flashed my 3870 with it so many times I think the card no longer knows what it is :/
I am looking to unlock it. By the way ATI overdrive limits these cards to 720 :confused: pretty low compare to others. Anyhoot my stock bios is attached if anyone can help out.
If you own an HIS turbo 512 card and havent checked the type of vram, you'll be glad to know its Samsung. Number on the chip reads SAMSUNG 743 K4J52324QE-BJ1A. All i know about that chip is that its very close to 1.0ns by comparing it with other model numbers... havent found any info on them.
Any easy way to tell voltage on vram? Im sure default 3850 volts would be quite limited... OCing to a stable 2000mhz on default vram volts is impressive, but I cant wait for volt tweaking software!
Kinshou Kuma, winflash didnt work for me either... i used atiflash and forced the files to work. thx for the bios greg! ill give that a try as well, hope it works on my card even though i have samsung and not quimonda mem
I didnt get atiwinflash to work the traditional way either.
I tried a work around and it worked. What I did was:
I opened a cmd window (in vista - right mouse click - open as administrator)
Then I navigated (in the cmd window) to the folder where I previously put atiwinflash and the bios file (ex: D:\atiwinflash).
Then typed: atiwinflash -f -p 0 XXXX.rom (where XXXX.rom is the name of the bios file)
Pressed enter, waited a couple of seconds and I received a popup confirming the flash, and asking for a reboot.
In my case winflash worked just fine in the traditional way ;)
Winflash worked for my 3870 but not these 3850s. I will try the above the above method and post back :)
now am getting file not found but I see the file in the folder :confused:
Does it have to the bios for another sapphire 3850 512mb ?
I have a Powercolor HD3850 512MB xtreme and looks like my card does not have a 2d mode. I tried flashing it to a newer PC bios 070 (mine come with 067) also tried a Gecube 073 bios but Rivatunner/ati ccc or Gpu-Z 0.15 don't show a 2d mode, it's always at 3d clocks. Both times i flashed with atiwinflash and i didn't had to reinstall drivers, it only asked to restart.
Another weird thing is i can't overclock with Rivatuner, when i hit the "apply" button it just revert to the default 3d clock...
Can anyone help me on this?
thx in advance
ps: sry if its in the wrong place
Did you type the bios name correctly?Quote:

This is what I did:
First I decompressed atiwinflash 2.0.0.2a (that includes atiwinflash.exe plus a bunch of other files most of them dlls) to G:\bios 3850\winflash.
Then I copied the bios file to that folder.
Then opened a cmd window

If you have a sapphire 3850 512mb, that is locked bios ver. 010.070 or previous, and if you can find a bios file for that card that is newer, go with it.Quote:

In my case I flashed my powercolor hd3850 pcs 512 with the gecube one that Greg_1 posted above and it worked.
You can modify your bios to change the 2D settings:Quote:

This is one that I modified previously to downclock the 2D clock to 300Mhz and the 2D voltage to 1.014v
Above the original bios and below the modified one.

You must also know how to covert dec to hex (simple using the windows calculator in scientific mode)
_BIOS______HEX_____DEC
30 75 00 = 00 75 30 = 30000 = 300 Mhz
40 19 01 = 01 19 40 = 72000 = 720 Mhz
BE 04 = 04 BE = 1,214 Volt
F6 03 = 03 F6 =1,014 Volt
PS: This is what I understood from reading, I am not a specialist. Those are the changes I did and I didnt have problems.
