HD3870 Bios help

[flexkres]

Hi, i did a bios flash of my asus radeon HD3870 TOP DDR4

And the thing is... IT DIDNT WORK!
Now i got green dots on some darker colors when i finally found one that the card could start with.

In bioshock i get red triangles and stars flying about.

I really need help... If it possibly can be fixed with a correct bios, please if any1 got...
And i used atiflash, with -f -p 0 xxxxxx.bin
if thats wrong please tell me too, im such a dumb idiot not to backup the bios first..

Really need help...

p.s. i tried every damn bios i found online... so if any is holding on one for this exact card... or can do a backup of yours and give... i would love you forever

Did you try this BIOS:

http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/7474/Asus.HD3870.512.071217.html

 

[flexkres]

yes... its the one im running now... But the models and such is f'ed up in assasins creed too, so i thought that that error together with dots, and stars and triangles in bioshock, ment that it wasnt correct... So this means my card is screwed huh...

 

[flexkres]

or can it be anything else? uninstalled and reinstalled the graphic drivers 3 times now...

 

[CrackerJack]

what bios did you use to flash?

 

[flexkres]

3870fanfix.bin...


...stupid me yes i know...
Then now im running the one in the post

 

[CrackerJack]

[Fahim]

[flexkres]

[flexkres]

why is the hell is the EA in front of the card name "EAH3870"? That doesn't look right. Upload the bios your using now.

 

[flexkres]

thats the asus product name of the card...

 

[flexkres]

EAH3870 TOP is asus name of it

 

[flexkres]

and the one im using RIGHT NOW is the one from this site
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/7474/Asus.HD3870.512.071217.html

Save me oh great ones xD

 

[CrackerJack]

I know that's the name of the card. But it should still show up as "HD 3870"

Look here
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...us-eah3870-512mb-graphics-card-review-15.html

It has a screenshot of the HD3870 TOP, and it doesn't have the EA before it. I'm not saying you wrong. I just can't understand why it's there. I had that bios you link to. And it's suppose to show up as a HD3870

Have you tried re-flashing it?

 

[flexkres]

with several different, and 4/5 it didnt work "power not connected blablabla"
first time it worked was with this one, then i got the green pixels but only on dark colors,
and those red triangles and stars and stripes in bioshock, and in assasins creed all bright colors are way to vibrant and the character himself is like a darkk see through shade....

 

[CrackerJack]

K i found you a bios THAT might work, and you can adjust the fan settings also with it. Do you have a backup card?

 

[flexkres]

yep, otherwise i will take it out, put vga as primary and reflash it

 

[flexkres]

and btw, atiflash i used had win 98 dos, is that correct? wanted to kno

 

[CrackerJack]

As long as it's the lastest version of ATIFLASH.

3.59
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1061/ATIFlash_3.59.html

the bios is below. I hope it works.

 

[flexkres]

tried rev01 and rev02, NO SUCCESS! i get the no power connector thingy

 

[flexkres]

im gonna try to clense my system TOTALLY of drivers and all, then try reflashing with that working one... maybe works better with new atiflash but please think it wll not... need every possible sollution

I was checking some websites, and most of them saying is that most ASUS cards uses RV670XT instead of RV670, and the bios you used from techpowerup website is RV670. I don't know the difference between rv670xt and rv670, but i remember some MSI cards uses RV670XT. You can try if you want, you can always flash back to the bios u r using now.

 

[flexkres]

i can try, but i tried to implement the new atiflash into the bootcd i used, now it wont find my card and í tried -i and -ai

can direct me to a working one...

But it all feals like the card is f´ed up... 1800 skr on it..
for what nothing.. :/ post what u think can work... and i try it tomorrow... and a working boot with atiflash would be appriciated...

Thx for all the help btw, hope it will work tomorrow with whatever you post...
