trying to update 5970 bios

kandor · Oct 22, 2011, 08:18 PM

Hi,

My sapphire 5970 still has the original bios ver. 102. I've downloaded the fixes on the net 102.zip and 103.zip files, but using rbe and atiwinflash I get a checksum mismatch error. Same with all sapphire bios images in the vga bios database on this website.

I don't understand why the cards existing bios checksum is different from every one I've downloaded?

if you have somethig like this please do a back-up of your bios master and slave and PM me.
