XFX 7970 BE DD Original ROM needed

Sonic · Oct 27, 2012, 10:40 AM

Hi guys,

i did a big mistake with my new gpu. i flashed a wrong rom but didn't make a backup of the original rom. so my question is: Is anyone here who got a original rom for the
XFX Black DD Radeon 7970 1000m 3GB D5 2XmDP HDMI 2xDVI Version 3.1?

Model No.: FX-797A-TD
Part No.: FX-797A-TDBC
The rom from the database seems to be for older version of the card.

i hope someone can help me.

Hi,

Isn't there a dual bios switch on the card? If this is the case, then switch the switch to the secondary bios, power up, boot up in Windows, and use GPU-Z or other tools to save/backup this bios; use this backup bios from the card to reflash the videocard. Make sure you switch back to bios 1 before flashing the card.

Hope this works for you.

Good luck!

thanks for your answer but the card has the new design and no switch :-(

Sorry 2 hear About that. I know as a Previous owner of XFX 's that their Support is pretty Top End. I know it's the Weekend , but maybe Contact them. I'm SURE something can be done. I wish you the best of luck.

Pray to the GPU god's , his VGA has lost it's sole.

It's a pretty popular card, I'm sure it's only a matter of time till someone Who has the 3.1 version can help you out. It's Early here in EST , if I see one I'll post in regard's.

Wow... I think I may have found it in my files from my v3.1 XFX BE 7970. Give this a go. Should be it!

Garage! Yes you did it. Thats the right ROM for my GPU. You are faster as XFX support :-) I will upload the rom to the database.

Thanks a lot

Garage1217 · Oct 30, 2012, 05:08 PM

Right on! Glad I could be of assistance

Hey all,

I did the same thing! Does anyone have the bios for FX-797A-TDFC V3.2 ?

Its a double dissapation non-black edition.

This one is in the VGA Bios Collection: http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/1...72.120109.html

W1zzard · Nov 3, 2012, 04:04 PM

i just updated the bios collection to have all the latest xfx hd 7970 bioses. check if you can find what you need

Marioshi · Nov 3, 2012, 04:12 PM

wow, you guys are lightning fast, I will try a couple of the new bioses in the database.

Marioshi · Nov 3, 2012, 04:33 PM

I thought I was effed for sure. It worked. One of the drivers that wasnt there last night was the right one!

The part I didnt tell you is that I have these in crossfire and I had screwed up both of them! w1zzard, you really saved me. Thanks to EVERYONE that replied and so quickly too! OCN aint got nothing on your guys when it comes to tech support. Guess I can cancel my XFX ticket.

Man my wife was going to kill me when she found out I bricked 700 dollars worth of brand new electronics.

I feel like I need a drink now lol but its only 9:30. Both are working now, I guess I ought to run 3dmark just to be sure its REALLY working. I am just glad to know they arent paperweights.

One thing I noticed was that when the wrong bios was flashed, the PCB would get very hot. I refrained from running it longer than I needed while trying to fix it but I have no doubts that damage would have occured if I left it on.

Marioshi · Nov 3, 2012, 04:54 PM

Ran 3dmark11 without a hitch. I guess everything is a-ok.

Going to finish my coffee and stay the heck away from bios flashing for a while
