Are you happy with your HD5850/HD5870? Yes, very happy No, disappointed vote and discuss.

maybe he mean this? isn't that should show 11?

9.11 WHQL https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/9-11_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu.exe seems same as 9.11b4

you should rename the bios to .rom so atiflash can read it

I compared the ASUS and the Sapphire bioses in RBE and they are both identical, the only difference is to unlock the overdrive limits. You can unlock your own bios by using RBE but I prefer the ASUS as it is identical and it is official bios and not modded. I don't like to mod bioses.

yes the same flash protocol

I had the same card a while ago, here is the latest bios http://hotfile.com/dl/17579655/e3116d9/S851GHYX.005.html

Thanks for the bios, works great This is the safest bios for HD5850, it is officially an HD5850 bios and not modded like the MSI bios or the ASUS modded to same 5870 clocks.

I got my new HD5850, flashed with the asus unlocked bios, installed afterburner, and so far I got 900/1200 1.174v stable, is that good voltage for this OC? Thanks

I play on 1680x1050 ... I'm not really a heavy gamer though

Well, my budget is $400 and I don't know what to do, upgrade to phenom II 940 and mobo and get an HD4850 for now so I can upgrade to crossfire in future or I just stick with my current system and get new graphic card

my E8400 @ 4.24GHz is not enough to handle most games and apps? and better get a new video card?

Q9550 is not an option as it is very expensive here phenom 2 940 and new motherboard is same price as Q9550

does it worth upgrading my current system to Phenom II 940 and new mobo? <---- My current system Thanks
