Yes you should

[ante_ante]

Yes you should

Tell me why i should change bios. More performance or more OC gains ?

[menko2]

Has someone the palit or gainward golden sample Bios??

Maybe this ones have the voltaje changed to 1,35v without modding it in Rbe.

I would to try in a regular sapphire.

[giorgos th.]

Asus TOP and 8.12 are ok here...
single and CF...

I flashed the TOP BIOS and was able to run with the 8.12s....unfortunately I haven't been able to get a decent OC on my card yet. I'm running my Sapphire 4870X2 on water with a full coverage XSPC Delrin block, and temps are great.
I'm going to attempt to edit the TOP BIOS to higher voltage....we'll see what that yields.
Will this BIOS actually allow 1.35V as shown in the RBE 1.18 BIOS table?

Changing the voltage in the bios does nothing without a hardmod. At least it didn't on my Visiontek card. I tried it with the stock bios and the Asus TOP bios. The voltage remained at stock both ways, as confirmed by GPU-Z and the voltage read points on the back of the card..

Yea I just tried to edit my BIOS and flash it for 1.35V......didn't do anything according to GPU-Z.
So far I'm Vantage stable at 822/1000 on water.

EDIT:
Nevermind.....Overdrive wasn't enabled

[binormalkilla]

All right I flashed the TOP BIOS again last night and began benching. I'm Vantage stable at 862/1000. I'm going to test for further stability in COD:WaW today.

Ok, maybe someone here can help me. I DL'ed the TeamAU files from earlier in this thread and flashed them to my Visiontek 4870x2 with atiflash 3.6 in dos. Rebooted and when I get to my Raid information screen right after ctrl i to edit raid it just freezes. Can not get into bios, can not get f8 or print to access my boot order. Nothing. Clear CMOS and everything is huncky dory until I enable raid again. Used NTFS Reader to get to my backup drive and copied my original bios files to my flash drive and reflashed those and everything is working fine. What would cause a conflict between the raid controller and the asus bios? Should I try the unmoddified bios? I don't think it is a driver conflict as it doesn't even get to the loading process.

Any ideas?

is this an ICHR9R raid or a raid card?

[Broken]

Ich9r on my Blackops.

[Riska]

The teamau bios files are not good take the original bios from your card and mod them with rbe to get the asus top settings i ccc and then flash that on your card

[Broken]

So basically change 10,11,and 12 to 800, 915; leave voltage at 1.25v.

This will give make my max's in CCC 900/1000? Or are you saying to change it in the additional features under method 1 hash.

Just making sure before I flash.

Heheh, reading is my friend. changed the signiture in RBE and now have higher limits in CCC. For now I just changed the core to 790,915.

[T_M]

Riska, whats wrong with the files i posted?
Sorry havent been watching this thread

[modUlar]

great bios, I am able to hit 850 core and 1050 mem

[Simkin]

i have Club3d 4870X2 stock 750/900

if i get these 800/1000 biose's, how much will i gain in games? and is the asus 4870x2 TOP cooler just like the cooler on any other 4870X2 cards?

will the card be much hotter?


thanks

[T_M]

The TOP cooler is dual fan different design. It does not seem to be any more effective than the stock HSF assembly though it is quieter.
