With this bios, you can use afterburner for everything on 5850; with asus bios you can use afterburner for everything on 5870.


Unwinder made a note at guru3d about using self-modded bioses that aren't directly from a manufacturer (stuff you edited in RBE). He says "Reference design board and original AMD / NVIDIA VGA BIOS is required for proper voltage control on these cards. Voltage control may work improperly if voltage control circuit on the PCB or voltage table in BIOS is modified by manufacturer or by user"

Using this 5850 bios or the ASUS 5870 bios will be fine, they have hash + signature & standard I2c dump. Little overboard on the 5850 slider limits though... lol.

Thanks but i wanted to know if it was possible to use Asus 5850 bios with afterburner to increase voltage or not ? In fact i read that some one couldn't ?
Could you confirm ? I want to buy an 5850 asus model but before want to be sure i will be able to use afterburner because the asus soft ( smartdoctor ) do not function !!
