Well i for one care!
Like many others we need to know why this is going on, and if people are fudging their 4870s with a pretty stupid bios flash, then that is very rellevent.

Not sure where this is going...

Why was i not surprised to finally get to the bottom of your post to read you killed your vga..and oh....you flashed the bios..
Be interesting to see what the ratio is of dead 4870s flashed and not flashed, because at this stage id say the flashers are leading
