I was using this card as a secondary display output for my third monitor up until a few days ago. I was overclocking my XFX branded 5870, and I realized that it was capped at 900/1300 clocks. After looking around on Google I discovered that I could bypass that limit by using an ASUS BIOS.
I went off to flash the card, and in the process, I forgot all about my 3450. When I rebooted after flashing I could only get one display at 800x600 to work, and I assumed it was because of the 3450 having been flashed as well. I'm not sure if it was actually flashed not that I come to think of it, and I think I may have screwed up royally.
Anyway, I went out on goolge looking for a new BIOS file for it, and after several bad ones (non matching) I still haven't found one that works. Now that I come to think of it though, the card probably hadn't been flashed. The display issue was occuring because windows needed to identify my 5870 again after the BIOS update.
That wasn't my thought at the time though, so I went on to flash the 3450 without even backing up the BIOS that was on it (I thought it was the 5870 BIOS). For that reason, I need the original one that it comes with. I'm open for trying other ones as well, but I haven't had much luck because this isn't a reference card (It's got no fan, and it has an HDMI port unlike most of the other 3450s).
I tried contacting ASUS support, but so far they've only stated the obvious: they don't have the correct BIOS on their website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
