I have flashed my Powecolor HD 4870VBIOS to 830/1000 following all the useful info found here, on doing so I have found a problem with my system!
First, the BIOS flash gives good benchmark results and is stable
Second, the problem is that it causes benchmarks programs like 3DM06, Vantage and Furmark to stutter/lag every 3-4 seconds like it is dropping a whole bunch of frames - the whole scene jumps ahead and it is throughout the whole of the benchmarks!??!?
I have a suspicion(?) purely my own without any proof (which is why I am here) that it may have to do with the "fanfix" side of it...
On looking at the default BIOSes and the ASUS TOP BIOS floating around, on the fan page PWM ramp on and PWM ramp(%) are not selected, yet when I try and save an edited BIOS it always selects them On/Enabled when I change the fan.
If I create a BIOS without changing the fan settings, my card no longer stutters!
any further help on this fellas????
