Fixing a Bad BIOS Flash on the 4870

[SimBy]

I hope not. Theta goes into quite a bit of detail about having a batch of them and 4 going tits up. He says putting them in crossfire mode seems to have caused the cards to stop working.

Hopefully it is just as he says, a bad batch of HIS cards. I don't want to believe anyone would to into that kind of detail just to make AMD look bad.

edit -another user also reported the cards going bad when putting them into crossfire.

You mean Kensek?! Go back one page and you will see his cards are OK now

So this leaves us with Thetas 4 dead cards which were supposedly stock. Now even though I have no reason not to believe him it's still kinda weird 4 cards would just die together like in some kind of cult mass suicide.
