RBE is a tool which helps you over-/underclocking and tuning your recent ATI video card. Unlike other programs as Rivatuner for example, RBE will provide a modified version of your video card's original BIOS that you can flash upon your video card. Although flashing a BIOS is always somewhat risky, this method has some advantages: - Many video cards are supported. - You don't need to run an overclocking tool on every windows startup. - You can modify the GPU's voltage using RBE, which simple software-OC tools are not capable of. - Overclocking is no more dependent on windows. It works with every operating system like Linux, Mac OS and so on... - RBE can help with your video card's fan settings. - Powerplay still works after overclocking using BIOS flash. This won't be guaranteed by software overclocking. - You can modify every state your video card has, even the clocks during boot up. - So you can underclock/undervolt your card during boot up and in 2D-Mode to save power (and thus money) and to allow your card's fan to run slower (and thus more silently). With RBE, you can load your video card's BIOS, change some values and save the new BIOS file. RBE will automatically fit the BIOS' checksum so ATIFlash or WinFlash will not complain about a not matching BIOS image file. Which video cards are supported? So far, this might be an incomplete list: 2400, 2400 LE, 2400 PRO, 2400 PRO AGP, 2400 XT, 2600 LE, 2600 Pro, 2600 Pro AGP, 2600 XT, 2600 XT AGP, 2900 GT, 2900 PRO, 2900 XT,
3200 series, 3300 series, 3430, 3450, 3470, 3470 mobile, 3600 series, 3850, 3870, 3870 X2,
4850, 4870, 4870 X2,
FireGL V3600, FireGL V5600, FireGL V7600, FireGL V7700, FireGL V8600, FireGL V8650 All in all, the engine is somewhat flexible. If you have a video card which is not officially supported, just give it a shot nevertheless. It might work. Note that some status reports on the BIOS file are being displayed, which can be changed also. These and some internal methods more help RBE to verify the validness of the processed BIOS image file. This leads to a high level of secureness. However, tinkering with BIOS flashing is never without any risk. Neither RBE's author nor any of the people associated with it can be made responsible for any damage caused. There's a program internal FAQ section. So if you have a question, refer to this at first. If your question is not properly answered here, you can send me an eMail to the address found in the "About" section. Installation There is no installation required. Just download the RBE.exe and run it. There is just that one single file. No administrative privileges are required to run RBE, whether you use Windows XP or Vista.
