Check "HD 5850".

I see. The reason for this is that Visiontek seems to be using a BIOS some other vendor may be using as well. Oftentimes vendors use the reference design BIOS. So your BIOS will be byte-by-byte-identical to a BIOS from some other vendor.

Still great thanks for your effort. :toast:
The BIOS database needs support from all of us!

the already in collection <some number>.rom means that the bios has been uploaded already but i havent manually approved it yet.

every single bios needs to be approved because people are too dumb or too evil to enter the correct info.
