sorry to be a pain

Whilst flashing my sapphire X800GTO2 i recieved the following message in DOS

Serial Rom
bios device = 0x5D4F
asic device = 0x5D4F
existing SSID =0x1600
new SSID = 0x0302 error 0FL01

it then ask`s if i want to force flash

1.... is this correct?

If all goes well which driver`s do i then use the original drivers or drivers for the x 850 or others

thx : respect:

Well i force flash it but the pipe-lines went down to 8, and catalist was complaining "no drivers installed" flashed it back, all is ok now but still with only 12 pipe-lines

what bios are you trying to flash moded one from the article
and what you also want to do is uninstall ati catalyst so when you flash its gonna detect the card as new hardware then pop in your saphiore cd install as if it was a new card than update to new catalyst from ati site it should work as long as you are using right bios

Apparently, the bios W1zzard posted is not the same as the bios that the cards actually have on them. I looked at it just a few minutes ago and saw lots of differences between his original and my original GTO2 bios.
