RBE - Radeon BIOS editor

Current version: v1.18

Further references
- A great video BIOS database for many cards is provided by Techpowerup.com.

- Techpowerup.com also provides WinFlash, the tool you might want to use to extract the BIOS image from your video card and to flash the modified BIOS image upon it. If you dislike flashing tools for Windows, use ATIFlash and a boot disc or USB stick instead.

- Once again techpowerup.com: You can use their tool GPU-Z to extract your video BIOS as well. Note that clock settings changed with RBE are not properly displayed by GPU-Z, use the hardware monitor function of Rivatuner for that.

- If you have an older ATI video card, try RaBiT.

- For nVidia users, there's the NiBiTor.

Back in good old germany, I have a lot of testers and buddies providing me hints. I can say, RBE has reached some level of maturity by now. Look here. :cool:
I would appreciate it to have RBE join the league of useful utilities of Techpowerup.com. Put a Techpowerup.com-Logo into it and have a section in the download area for it. Does anyone know who to discuss this with?

Depends on what you mean by "flashed BIOS". If it means you modified a BIOS with RBE and then flashed it onto your video card, then no. RBE does not support BIOS images already modified. You will have to use your original BIOS for that.
In any other case, the answer should be yes! :) For example, you downloaded an alternative BIOS. Maybe you have a 3870 from Sapphire and you flashed a 3870-BIOS from, say, Club3D onto it, for any reason. Then you can extract this BIOS from your card, modify clocks and/or voltages and flash it upon your card again.
Perhaps you just tell us what you're planning to do... :toast:

well i have heard that there is no "bios modifier" that can change the voltage. I thought I heard that you can change it in the bios, but it will not go any higher that what the hardware on the card will allow(which is like 1.35 or something).

Of course you can't get higher than the hardware allows. But yes, RBE can modify the voltage!

I can verify it works.

Flashed my card last night. Edited it to boot up at 300Mhz and 2.25Ghz, 2D same, 3D is 816 and 2.5Ghz.

Works really well.

Kudos to you BAGZZlash :D

last time i check it can edit any of the supported cards voltages, i changed mine to 1.3 and then 1.5.

did you actually measure it with a multi meter??

And what core speeds were you able to achieve??

Awesome lol. Mine started bugging out at 830 though. All I do is play games, and I can play Crysis at near max and 1680x1050, so I didn't see any point in trying to break it tbh :)

cant really argue there, the only thing that kept me pushing was the ATI 3k 3dmark forum. Gotta compete, have you posted your results over there?? Its in my sig

Yup I have. Not for a long time though lol. I only really did it when I first got the card so I could see what it could do, and that was before my motherboard became unstable (fixed now though) and the GPU was only at 800, so I may just post a new run when I get a chance :)

Hehe cool, well when I get a chance I'll give it another shot at OCing my CPU, and run 3Dmark again

no i didn't use a meter. but i can get higher speeds more stable. 800/1100 will crash after about 30min. but when there set to 1.5 they won't. Play cod4 for about 5 hours no problem:D

Hey nice tool. It worked really good for me with an 3870, only one thing is the missing fan controll is holding me back. Can you somehow get this to work?

has anyone been able to confirm that by going up with the volts in the bios editor will result in a "real" higher 3d voltage. I have tried other software in the past that said it upped voltage but with a multimeter I was able to confirm it had not.

I read of several people complaining about not properly changed voltages. What card exactly do you have? It's not unlikely that your card is not capable of changing the voltage. RBE just instructs the BIOS to change the voltage to the value set. What the card make of it, is on it's own.
Maybe you will have to apply a hardware-mod like the famous "pencil-mod".

What do you mean, "holding you back"? Isn't the 3870 fan control panel working for you?
