good...try to full load

can't tonight, its almost midnight and there's work tomorrow :(

Flashed from F5 to F11 using RBE and WinFlash. I used the force flash feature. No problems yet. Using 950 core and 1200 memory.

why didn't you try f7? according to giga's site, cards are grouped into two types: those belonging to f1-9, and those belonging to f10-19 (if i read the site correctly).

so from f5 to f7 i didn't have any problem using giga's own VGA@Bios...

This is what I got. Don't know how to interpret this.



I'm really annoyed that my 2D clock is 400/1000! I'm gonna drive-clean and reinstall 10.6

Yep, same card, and it's just the standard Asus BIOS, the Sapphire bios also works.

With this bios i also noticed that my voltage idles at 1.00 and 1.09 load, while with the Gigabyte bios it's 1.09 idle and load.

With the Gigabyte bios, i can't even run my vram at 1200, instantly crashes windows, but with the Asus i can run 900/1200 fine.

can you guide me where to get it? i thought this is a custom card, meaning not reference card, can cross-flash the bios?

Follow the link in my post, the word Asus is the link :)

It is a non reference card, but it uses the same layout, just higher quality parts. The only problem you may face is the fan control not working effectively, but running my card at 900/1200 in BC2 only get it up too 75/80*C
