Hi guys...

I need some help in order to build a ROM to my card with the Toxic version clocks and voltages...

I managed to download a original Sapphire HD6870 Toxic BIOS somewhere in the net and I've saved my original BIOS too, via both GPU-z and RBE/ATIWinFalsh witch I've uploaded here in TPU.

First i need to understand very well what I'm doin' so I've already red the official tuto. Even so i need some help to understand the steps described in the official tuto.

I've noticed that after i started RBE and have acquired BIOS, the Vendor ID is not Sapphire as it should be.

Is this normal????

why don't u overclock the card to the toxic version. I got a normal sapphire 6870 (core/mem/voltage:900/1050/1175), the toxic(970/1150/1188), just overclock, i overclock and get 200 point increase in 3d 11. my card can hit to 1ghz, 1200 memory clock with 1900 mv core. increase 100 more point in 3d 11

I'm not sure if my card is able to handle that overclock with same vGPU than Toxic because if Toxic has better quality components, my Vapor-X may not handle the same settings...

You see what i mean?

That's why I'm asking if Toxic has exactly the same hardware than mine...

Then it's weird that my Vendor ID is not Sapphire... Why is that?

You can't change clock settings in the BIOS, there is a driver system that prevents it on Radeon HD 6xxx Cards. I wanted to flash mine to 1050 MHz GPU clock too... :(
You have to use software such as MSI Afterburner or Sapphire Trixx to overclock your card.

And isn't there any chance of modding that driver in such way it allow us flashing the card's BIOS?

I don't figured it out, too... I would also love to flash my 6870 @ 1000 Mhz.

Well, I've seen this in another forum but I didn't tried it yet because I wanted to be sure that it is OK to flash my BIOS first.

ALL THE FILES NEEDED 6870:
http://www.4shared.com/get/TXRC1VJ2/6870_BIOS_MOD.html


==6870 BLACK BIOS MOD 940/1150==

1) Run GPU-Z and back up your GPU BIOS.

2) Insert a USB flash drive.

3) Run the "HP USB Disk Storage Format tool".

4) Use the drop down menu for "Device" and select your USB flash drive.

5) Use the drop down menu for "File system" and select FAT.

6) Now select the "Create a DOS startup disk" check box, you will then get the option of choosing the files that
make the USB bootable.

7) Choose the folder that is called "USB BOOT" then select the start button.

8) This process takes a bit of time and will blank your flash drive.

9) when your flash drive is prepped extract/Copy the files:

-atiflash.exe
-atiflash.chg
-flash.bat
-xfx.bin (940/1150)
-old.bin (the one you backed up just to be safe, rename it if you need to)
-Barts.bin (this is an AMD OEM 6870 stock clock BIOS)

10) restart you PC and go into the BIOS menu select your USB as primary hard drive.

11) restart and you PC should boot into the atiflash.

12) type DIR to see whats in the USB you should see all the files.

13) you can type "atiflash /?" to see all the available switches but you only need to use 2-3 at most for this.

14) type "atiflash -ai 0" to get a readout of your primary card. "atiflash -ai 1" will be your secondary card if you
are running a crossfire configuration.(handy if you need to distinguish).

15) type "atiflash -p 0 biosname.bin" (atiflash -p 0 xfx.bin)

16) if it does not allow you to flash type "atiflash -f -p 0 biosname.bin". -f forces the flash.

17) if neither of these work type "atiflash -unlockrom 0" then repeat step 15 or 16

18) it will take a few seconds to complete and ask you to restart, press "Ctrl,Alt,Delete" together.

19) Go into your BIOS menu and select your HDD as primary hard disk again.

20) You may get windows detecting a new device and may be asked to restart.

21) Go into CCC and select default clocks in Overdrive and your clocks should now be reading 940 core and 1150 memory.

22) I suggest this is only done with a reference designed card. You may have a variant with a different fan perhaps wait for the manufacturer to release a OC version with the same PCB etc.


ENJOY YOUR NEW DEFAULT CLOCKS.

Can you explain to me what is the difference between a reference designed card and the others?

As far as i can understand what you said, my card won't work with this method, right?

Right, I think your VaporX has other chokes and mosfets than the XFX Black Edition card which is reference designed. I can't tell for sure, but I would prefer using Sapphire Trixx for overclocking.

Can't you use MSI afterburner / Trixx to increase the voltage as well as overclock?

If not I would be VERY hesitant about flashing an untested bios (in terms of clock speeds) onto the card.

If the card is stable at Toxic clocks there is no point in flashing it either. Set up a profile in MSI afterburner that you enable when windows starts (it will still drop down to 2D clocks as required).

Even though it looks like impossible, what could happen if i try toflash it anyway?

Can i kill it?

And how can i know what cards are reference and non-reference? Is there any list on the net?

You will have to flash it back blindly or put it in a second PCIE slot at a friend's to flash it back. I've done it several times but I would not recommend it.

There is the possibility that the flash won't work and will in effect kill the card. You *should* be able to recover a bad flash using a second graphics card but given there are much easier alternatives (overclocking) there is no point in risking a flash.

Thanks for advices... I won't flash it but actually I have an ATI XT1950XT for backing up if needed...

Anyway, I won't do it... :rolleyes:

When you say "kill" you don't mean kill it for ever, right? You mean that it will be dead until I flash it back to it's original BIOS, right?


Now, about to identify reference and non-reference cards? I can i do it? Is there any list available on the net?

Dead is dead. Sometimes you just cant recover from a bad flash. Its a risk

The only way to identify them (visually) is by their reference PCB and cooler.

Unfortunately you will have to google this as I don't have a HD6870.

I've found this in the net at some review to some HD6870 graphics

In what’s becoming a common story in this roundup, Sapphire has chosen to once again go with a reference I/O layout which allows for out of the box Eyefinity compatibility.

@ here


Won't this mean that both Toxic and Vapor-X are reference PCB's?

I'm so disappointed with myself... :(

I'm a natural bad luck guy... I search the foruns for the best relationship between quality/price to buy a graphic card and then I have this bad luck.

The same has happened to me with my E8400. I searched a lot,, then bought an used E8400 and I had the bad luck that it has it's DTS stuck at 40ºC... :banghead: :banghead:

And then I see lot's of guys finding softmods, pencil mod's, hardmod's, driver mod's, volt mod's and so on and I can't see anything that solves my problems ever... :( :( :(

The same has happened to me with my Android phone... Although this one is my fault, but I have the bad luck that I can't undo the mess I've done and thousands of others can undo their mess...

baahhh


Edit;
I'm just regretting myself, not blaming anyone...
