4870 ASUS TOP BIOS (upto 900MHz in CCC)

[Caveman787]

Gas wow nice you sure that 880 core is stable though on stock volts?

I know sniipedogg had to volt mod for that level or around it.

[dnottis]

Flashed my Asus HD4870 today. Auto tune gave me 890 core, but I backed that off as I dont want to fry this card.

Here is a Vanatage run.

GAH i installed asus smart doctor and it overwrite the fan controll from bios and it sux.. even after uninstall smartdoctor i still got smart doctors fan settings.. anyone know how to remove it comletely? i search in regedit for asus but cant find anything.

I had some info that this BIOS acts different on some cards. Difference is in unlocked Overdrive I guess, or we've just got different info from different people.

Some say Overdrive is unlocked to 1100 for memory, and some say 1200 is their limit (after flashing with this BIOS ofcourse). So could you guys check and post which manufacturer/model gets which limits for GPU/mem? Cos' maybe everyone gets 1200, and than we just have wrong info in the first post.. and maybe everyone but few selected get 1200.

Tnx!

Ya, run AMD Gpu clock tool, move the Engine speed 5Mhz and Set Clocks, now Restore Default Clocks.

This should reset your card to all defualt BIOS settings.

can i flash it on commant prompt in windows?
Or how i can go to DOS?
I have P5K and F8 brings up first boot device, not the boot options menu.

Yes, i tried that but im only getting command prompt doing nothing then i type that command in it.
Can only close it after flash command.

Yes it quite stable, only playing Crysis for an hour, and GoW a little bit more. Vmod is on its way.

[Caveman787]

sweet Gas sound's to me like asus card's are the ones to get from your results...wouldn't be suprised if you get 950.

[aussie-revhead]

GaS does your asus have the same vgpu as the regular cards ?

[GaS]

It is stock "vanilla" 4870 from Asus, without even game bundle So I guess with stock voltage.

Anyone tried it with a Powercolor card?

[Riska]

Yes i have just flashed a powercolor card and i works sweet 900/1100mhz in CCC and asus smart doctor works great

Tnx for checking.. It looks like the other guy was looking in RBE, which is probably reading it wrong as my stock BIOS shows the same in RBE (both him and me have Club3D cards as well..)

[day187]

Thanks

Awesome. 900/1100 is a great OC!

[Caveman787]

I don't think that was his overclock I think he's commenting about the max values available to oc up to.

[ultimate11]

so most of the peeps here used the atiwinflash or the bootdisc way?

as convenient as it seems to flash from windows, it actually isnt. In windows flash work for me 95% of the time but when if doesn't it is a pain. DOS boot disk is the way to go its faster and always effective

i just ed up my flash and its 8 am in the morn (got owned around 5am)

so i inserted a 8500gt in slot 1 of pci-e

and put the 4870 in slot 2 and system finally booted.


i used the flashway in page2 (winatiflash) , and after the whole bar finished twice , my system freeze on the 3rd time and after i pressed the reset button it was owned

now i m tryin to recover it :/

i tried to run winatiflash but it wont run and stays 25% on core 1 , (any other app i run during this wont respond either, would like to hear comments)

Then go into DOS and find out which adapter number your dead HD 4870 has using Atiflash (download): atiflash -i. Now flash the BIOS using: atiflash -f -newbios -p [index] 4870.bin. Replace [index] with the number of your graphics card from the -i command.

i wonder which index is my ati card need some help on it

[G H Z]

Everything with atiflash happens in true DOS only, you cannot run/flash using this utility inside Windows.
