what do you mean by quality? most benchmarkers use default settings in PRESET i think....

btw did you flash your ATi 4870 through the DOS?

IT all depends on what you are flashing.....IMO

Yes you should do it in dos, but I have flashed lots of times in windows.....

If you want say more voltage. Then you need to do that in dos with -newbios

That will force the card to take more voltage. Say you just wanted to change the speed of the fan or clocks you can do that in windows.

What he is really telling you is that more can go wrong flashing in windows than in dos. There are more languages the machine has to talk down to before it can even flash your video card in windows, than there would be in dos mode.

i have an ATI 4850 512mb visiontek but i dont know how to flash it through the DOS because im not sure if my motherboard allows me to have that kind of access because my computer is HP and all i did was have someone replace the videocard/power supply :( and it was done in BEST BUY :twitch:

Anyone can boot into dos.

Do you have a floppy drive?

If so go to my computer, right click on A:/ Format system disk

Then add the bios, and the flash program.

Boot the machine off the floppy drive.


You can also do this with a USB flash drive.

PFFFTTT... I can't get crossfire to work at all on this set of drivers. Maybe it is because both of my 4850s look totally different. One is a reference design and one is green. I was so mad when I popped open the box to find that it was green, since when are ATI cards green? Oh well I hope my two 4870s are the same when they arrive and work in crossfire with this driver.

Would it be safer to do a windows flash if it was in safe mode? Also did they ever get a driver fix for the 2d/3d mode detection on the 4850/70? So you can play games at full speed when not full screening the app or game.

Lester have u tried overclocking your 4850 just through catalyst or rivatuner as you said earlier its still on stock clocks. Easier and safer then flashing it and you may be happy with the results.

Flashing tends to be better when u want to raise volts permanently to achieve a very high oc.

Im running the free version :), Also i have been running on quality.. he he.

Every time I install a driver I whipe previous drivers and benchmarking software and reinstall. I've yet to see a driver give diminishing returns following those guidelines. Also I had to reinstall Vantage when I installed my 4870x2 otherwise it would produce a lot of geometry and lighting errors.

ATI Release notes: said:
ATI CrossFireX™ Enhancements
This release of ATI Catalyst™ enables users to verify whether an application is
running in ATI CrossFireX™ mode. The new option found in the ATI Catalyst™
Control Center system tray, will allow users to verify whether a Direct3D or
OpenGL application is running in ATI CrossFireX™ mode. (The “ATI Cross-
FireX” logo will be shown on screen when the application is running).

Has anyone seen this yet? What is it exactly?

You dont need them unless you need their functionality. Most people dont.

You can get the separate install packages for each at AMD's website. They are located right under where you would click to download your drivers.

I've noticed that with each driver release, I'm getting lower 3dMark06 scores and higher 3dMark Vantage scores. I think they are going in the right direction.:)
