Does anyone here who knows how to recover from a bad flash (preferably has experience with this) have a card with an R423 chip?
I'm looking for someone who will try out something for me. I've found that R480 chips are backward compatible with bioses from cards having R423 chips, but I'm wondering if the bios compatibility goes both ways. Thus, I want someone to try flashing the bios for an R480 to a card with an R423 chip. Be sure to lower the speeds to your card's defaults by using RaBiT first before flashing. If the bios flashing goes well, post 3dmark scores from before and after the flash.
-EDIT-
Apparently, identifying a card with an R423 chip as having an R480 does work, but does not change performance at all. Look at my post on the third page for more info: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?p=44951#post44951
