I need to get a copy of the bios's for an asus top 4870x2. if anyone has them please let me know.
If you can wait can i send you them tomorrow
that would be awesome!
Can you send them to me too? :D
Or upload them so everyone can get them? :)
yes, please do... i know a ton of people that want them.
is Asuses TOP bios compatible with other, eg. Sapphire card ?
olso you can send to me the bios!!
thanks
An upload link would most gratefully received, thanks.
I would love to recieved it also, and i have Sapphire also , can i use this BIOS with sapphire?
you can flash most any bios from the same card to another card thats the same.... IE: VT 4870x2 <---> Asus 4870x2. the cards are the same just different bios's with different settings.
I have this card..but I dont know what different TOP with non TOP :D

and this bios :

http://rapidshare.com/files/141644021/R700_2.bin.html
the x2 has 2 bios's. make sure to get both of them
the asus top card has clocks of 825/1000 i believe.
thanks hazzan as fitseries3 says above ( thumbs up for starting the thread) but the bios you have uploaded is not right for the x2 use gpuz to save both the master bios and the slave bios and re upload them if you can , the bios looks to me like a normal 4870 asus top bios rather than x2 and as fits says above higher clock speed and in overdrive the max value you can set is 900 core instead of 800 core
ok maybe I will try latter...
thanks hazzan , yes they look right now , these bioses don't say which one is master and slave but the r7001.bin is master and the r7002.bin is the slave can you confirm hazzan that ati overdrive goes up to 900 on gpu core
how did you go about getting them saved from the card? im not saying you are inexperienced... just wanting to make sure everything is good to go before i flash my card.
right to save anybody else some time , flashed the bios these bios has to be forced flash as the SSID of the card is different but works a ok but overdrive limit is the same 800 on core so not much point flashing to it but i'd like to thank Hazzan for posting the bios and fitseries for starting the thread
Sorry, itīs my eyes it wrong with :down:
still looking. thanks for trying though Hazzan. i appreciate it. we will find it soon. ;)
the big dogs don't want to share :( spoilsports come on somebody post the bios it is the freedom of information age ;)
Oh no! You can't find the TOP bios via XS, what now? :shrug:
yes times are hard ,when noone is willing to post this bios especially here on xtreme, the home of modding and overclocking , spl i don't think the asus top 4870x2 is generally available for sale yet
I think us common people will only see this bios become generally available after the top dogs have finished using it. :(
What are the voltages at gpu/mem @ this bios?
Dudes, someone has to have one?!?
not sure volts but if its like the asus 4870 top bios that was 1.276 instead of 1.25
Any other Bioses available that are not locked?
Team.AU comes through with the goods.
800/1000 @ 100% fan, 900/1000 clock limit
Master:

So far if i set BIOS vcore to 1.4V i get red lights on the PCI #1 card and no detection of that card in Windows, if i set 1.375V i get red lights and BSOD loading Vista, if i set 1.365V i get no screen loading Vista.
thumbs up for T_M and team AU, you're the dude
thanks t_m i can confirm bios working thanks a million , on anybody who does not already have an asus card you will have to force flash also you might need to reinstall ccc and driver i did, whats the max effective voltage is it 1.35 volt like on the 2900s or 1.276 like i seen somewhere thanks again oh and also can run 1000 on memory no probs now whereas anything over 950 before got artifacts :yepp: :clap: :woot::buddies::bounces::up:
Thanks T_M and Team.AU I'm going to flash these babies now!
Well done for looking after the common folk! :)
The max flashable Vcore is 1.35 for my cards.
Above that it wont load Vista.
At that setting, max vcore in 3d'06 firefly is about 1.365V real, 1.329 idle on desktop.
Yes you have to force flash (-f) to get past the SSID error in ATIFlash, but apart from that its hunky dory.
Right now im benching at 830/1000.
Wish i knew No_Name's secret to get above 900 core..... :s
The BIOS that i posted is the TOP BIOS i recieved, then edited to 100% fan speed and 800/1000 at all PowerPlay settings.
The volts i set to 1.25V across all settings too (except for overheat protection).
The secret to getting past CCC limits is to not install CCC at all. ;)
So these Bioses need to be altered manually with RBE ro increase the voltage?
I've flashed them successfully anyway, I'm just downloading 3dmark 03 and 06 (changed my Hard drive last week) and will test them out, I hope my artifacts are gone at 1000mem too!
i change the voltage on rbe to 1.35 but i read the same voltage on my card 1.27!!!
yep, the artifacts are gone at 1000mem, great stuff. It didn't help my score though, I think I'm CPU limited with my q6600 at 3.8Ghz,
Hmm, I still canīt overclock this card.
http://bulldogpo.wippiespace.com/ima...rk06_25130.jpg
open RBE (link below), load the bios file and check clock 10,11 & 12. Set them to the values you want and then save the bios file. Then repeat for slave file

This doesn't seem to work for me either. My card still crash @ 800MHz core, no matter if I set 1.30v or 1.35v in bios. :(
Anyone got it working?
Mine works sort of!!!
Adjusting voltage has never & still doesn't actually change my cards voltage.
CCC goes ape & fights against GPU-Z so its best to can CCC so GPU-Z can read speeds, temps etc correctly. I also had to re install the video driver I am using the 8.9 BETA btw.
My card does & will run 860~870 core on its original bios although now its been running for a few weeks it wont make 3DMARK points up there anymore. My cores like about 830.
My memory on my stock BIOS would run 950 on one core & 1050 on the other however now I've flashed the ASUS TOP BIOS I can run 1070 on both cores.
I have my card at 825/1070 with my fan at 40% & a tweaked fan profile that raises to about 60% fan speed once the card is under load.
After all this messing about with the TOP BIOS I still cant identify any performance gain, I presume they have just slackened the memory timings off a bit to allow more head room.
CN :)
Sure, tonight.
But its easy to make it for yourself from the ones above anyway ;)
Gautam, in CF 4870x2, are you saying that if i just uninstall CCC then i can set my BIOS clocks above the cap (800 for old BIOS, 900 for TOP) and the cards will be recognised and run fine? I saw No-Name's monster clocks and wonder if that is how he achieved it?
Yes T_M. Thou i didnt unistall CCC. I just used RBE to create the bios files to what i wanted
http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/6058/151wk7.jpg
what program you are use guys when you want to extract 4870X2's bioses ?
I use Atiflash 3.60s, after exrtaction i have 2 different sizes files, after that i cant edit via RBE1.14
C-N thanks , i just forget about it
Use GPU-Z to grab Bios 0 and Bios 1.
Then edit using RBE.
FInally, flash using ATIFlash in DOS
Here's the TOP Bios's unmodded for the picky people:

What software do you use for overclocking? CCC doesīnt change clocks for me :( (I will try that Team-AU modded bios now.)
I create Bios's and flash clocks, i dont attempt to use CCC or AMDGPUClockTool cos none seem to work for me all 4 cards.
If you have a special request for clocks i will modify the TOP bios for you and post it.
I really appreciate it T_M, thank you. And I agree, nothing overclocks all four gpu's with my crossfirex either.
Thanks for the bios, Tim. :)
Kinc said anything about an hardmod for the biosvoltage-setting to work, didn't he? Anyone know anything about this?
Atleast setting voltage in bios doesn't seem to work on my Sapphire-card.
Definately for me to get 820core to load vista, i have to set more than 1.25V in the BIOS.
Using 1.35V works well.
Thanks for the bios T M. I edited it to 1.35 volts and made the fan ramp up a bit more under load. Running at 832/1000 stable no worries, thats about the limit for the GPU's, havnt tested if the mem can do more than 1000 yet.
Thanks C-N, I'll wait until I have the EK block on the card as the fan is pretty terrifying.
Hi Glen, eggcelent reading here on this forum. Get to hear from some world class overclockers like T_M, or is it Tim. CCC does seem to be the only thing that overclocks all four gpu's, but the 800 core limit was killing me. I hope someone comes up with a new toollib.dll for amdgpuclocktool soon. I'm just a little leery at the moment about flashing to 1000 mem because my cards were artifacting at 960. I don't want the hassle of flashing and then having to flash right back. Or bricking 900 dollars of hardware. I'm one of those guy's that won't return or rma a peice of hardware that I was responsible for frying. So I want to be sure about this first, probably wait a few more day's and see some more results. Those guy's are the reason we are locked out of the bios. :shakes:
r1rhyder, if you flash the mem clocks to 1000 you should have no problem if the video card is not stable, because it will only be unstable under load which is not in DOS ;)
Do the flashing in small steps, and if you find that you cant even load windows at one point then i would not attempt 1000 because as you say that is approaching brick.
As for you comment about not being bothered..... try flashing like 100 times per night like i am currently :D
After flashing my mem higher than the cap, it works fine at 1020, but 1030 causes crash quite quickly in '03 GT1.
A tip for flashing: use BIOS file names that represent the clock speeds, and identify master from slave.
Remember that you will only be able to see 8 digits in DOS.
E.g. i use "82c103m0.rom" which tells me 820 core / 1030 mem / 0 = master
"try flashing like 100 times per night like i am currently"
I'm not that tenacious during the week. This Thursday, Friday, my weekend, I'll tear it up and find out what my cards can do. I do follow your tip strategy, works well for me.
Does HD4870X handle 1.35V with std cooler?
Do you mean 4870x2? Yes, easy.
I'm using 1.55V and 100% fan speed. It doesn't even get as hot as on stock fan speed and voltage :)
That would likely be hardmodded
But its only adjustable after the hardmod?
with the asus top bios my cardfan runs @ 100% the first 2min and than the speed goes down.
have anyone a other and better bios for me?
i have the std. cooler.
Hard question, without voltmod what is the highest voltage I can set in bios with RBE? Tim? Anyone?
Sorry, but you gotta have RBE working for that, Can't imagine why its not for you.
Stock Sapphire.

Asus TOP from T_M.

From multimeter reading, I'm pretty sure it doesn't make any difference.
thx fornowagain
i have download it now from the nl mirro and now it works.
can you say me settings that i can run with stockcooler without probs
Is 1.55V really available trough bios? No hard mods?
Does anyone know how to get over that 900MHz GPU ?
It seems to be a wall there right ?
Clocked with AMD GPU Clock in Vista64. It works fine but at any clock Speed above 900 Core immediately freeze in 3d Mode.

No Solutions yet ?
And can someone really 100% confirm that Vcore Changes with RBE are working ?
to be honest if you can run 900 core in any benchmark you've got a hell of a card not many can run over 860 even at 100% fan speed
ah right never noticed the temps still not many can run 900 in 3d bench with these
The highest volts i could successfully set in BIOS was 1.35V.
At 1.36V my system would not load windows.
900 core on TOP bios can be broken only by uninstalling CCC, then it will work awesome.
