RBE vs. HIS 4670 Turbo

[swaaye]

I tried modifying my BIOS with RBE last night and all seemed well until I flashed it. The card appeared to be working fine, but in Windows it was not recognized by the ATI drivers. I also noticed that when I flashed with the latest ATIFlash that the "BIOS version string" was not the same as the unedited BIOS. Not the same at all, actually.

ATI Winflash refuses to run in Vista x64 for me. The newest version gives a Visual C++ runtime error and an older version (2.0.0.7) I used to use with my 3850 just never comes up at all.

I've attached the original BIOS and a modified BIOS.

And with original is it working ?

Yup I just flashed back to my backup ROM file and all is well.

I noticed one thing, you overclocked the card above the overdrive limit. This can cause your card to be not recognized by windows.

Try a new modified bios with a little overclock. Just do 799 MHz instead of 825MHz.

Confirmed.

RBE don't' work with 4670 HIS

Or don't OC it at all in BIOS and use Riva Tuner or Ati Tray Tools instead.

Also a good idea

No thanks. Prefer BIOS. I use Rivatuner for testing oc before flashing, however.

I decided to try simply opening and saving the BIOS in RBE. No changes to any settings at all. It still doesn't work.

Here is the ATIFlash output

Restart System To Complete VBIOS Update.

And attached are the two BIOS files. Original backup and the "open and saved" ROM.

I decided to manually hex edit my backup BIOS. I don't know what all those changes were that RBE made to the backup when I didn't actually alter anything myself....

Hex editing a 4670 BIOS is the same as a 3850 BIOS. I don't know how to fix the checksum so I had to flash with the force option. I just altered all of the core clocks there were at 780 MHz up to 825 MHz and the RAM clocks that were 1000 MHz to 1100MHz. Worked perfectly. I even checked my work with RBE and it did show the proper clock settings in all the right places. Powerplay works fine still. I am quite pleased.

O have tried to give 1,3V to my HD4670's GPU bu it doesn't works.
I use a Palit HD4670 512mb and I am stable at GPU:813 MHz Memory:1150 MHz

Well I went back to the stock BIOS again. I have been having a problem with CCC crashing. Not the control panel itself, but some sort of host service that runs in the background. Whenever I use a modified BIOS, it crashes every 8 hours or so. Even if it's just at the desktop the entire time. Seems totally random. I tried different clock speeds on core and RAM, including running each at stock while the other overclocked. Can't figure out what causes the crashing and it is annoying.

This same problem occurs with my Radeon 3850 too.
