    Has anyone flashed their X2 bios yet?

    Thanks
    I've flashed my X2. I set all my volts to 1.327 on the 3D Clocks yet, when I put a multimeter to it while running the Atitool Fur Cube to scan for artifacts, it only reads 1.27v. On idle it runs 1.25-6v. Apparently this card ignores the voltage increase in the bios, unless Atitool fur cube does not trigger the 3D clocks. However it does confirm the reason why I can't get a 3dmark06 pass completed past 900mhz on the core. I have a saphire X2 btw.

    Thanks for your reply.

    If you have the inclination, perhaps take a reading of the core when running 3dmark.

    Either, a) your flash didn't work b) bios mod doesn't work or c) artifact scanning isn't activating 3d (which is unlikely imo, otherwise what would be the point of the test).

    I guess the benefit is the OC can be set on the card rather than having to apply the OC every time you boot up...

    Same here, flashed it to 1.327v. Multimeter reads one core at 1.24v-1.27v load, the other core is 1.32v-1.34v load. Changing the bios voltage made no difference. This one is a Powercolor and gets to 932/2200 stock.
