I managed to work some magic on the visiontek 4850 512mb bios, unlocked 800 core / 1300 memory limits in overdrive and it passes digital signature etc It works with all drivers....Nothing else is modified.

It may work with other reference version cards........I am working on higher but atm it does not work with all drivers.

You will most certainly need volt mods for higher clocks as well as better cooling....

Usual disclaimer applies

***Flashing a modded bios to your video card voids warranty as does overclocking. You choose to use this at your own risk and I will not be held responsible, nor will ATI,AMD or visiontek***

http://members.cox.net/nfridenti/test1.bin rename to .rom where applicable......

Shot of it working with driver version ( 8.12 ) and Overdrive.

So you said not all versions...I just downloaded it. Why do I need to rename it .rom?

Thanks by the way

winflash won't recognize .bin, I never flash from windows personally.

It technically should work on all reference cards. I know it won't on non reference cards using samsung ram.

Stage 1 card preparation, they will be waterchilled via my liquid frostbyte chiller, I can avoid coldbug 100% by this method.

I needed an alternative cooling solution in order to permanently mount the ramsinks etc etc. The vantec covers all my needs and vents hot air outside a case for 24/7 operation and does an excellent job keeping the cards cool and quiet.

Just a single vantec weighs about as much at 2 4850 stock coolers.



You don't see to many of these anymore, still around since x800 days and they still fit

Unfortunately, hardcore 940 BE + 2X4850's on dice are postponed to complete my 720BE roundup of results with DI. Air results can be seen here with 720 BE in this thread.
