in dos mode use the command: atiwinflash -f -p 1 "BIOSname".bin.

The "-f" switch forces the flash, regardless of vendor id msimatch. The important part is the "1" so you flash the card in the second slot.

I can't use dos mode because the card doesn't display anything.

*Wait, so have the working card in the first "normal" slot, have the bad card in the 2nd "slave" spot and flash it?

That's the ticket! The "1" drives the flash to that PCI slot.

Get to it!

I can't get atiflash to boot from my USB drive. I have the usb to boot from as a boot device and have it changed in the bios.

Here it is..

Problem solved. Floppy drive to save the day!

*I'm so glad Asus decided to put a floppy connector on a Maximus!

I just started messing around with RBE. I downloaded the bios for my card, and loaded it into RBE. Why am I getting this error message?

Everybody gets that. It just lets you change the error message.

I changed mine to say
"You forgot to plug the PCIe Power in you dumb ass!"

Its a nice reminder when I have a brain fart!

OK so, let's say I loaded up my HD2600 Pro's bios into RBE from ATIWinflash. In the clocks tab, I can type in a voltage and it will set it at that? Like if I want to push it to 1.25v, I can do that?

VuurVOS · Apr 19, 2008

If the voltage regulator on your videocard can do that, then it will be possible ^^. But a higher voltage will cause a shorter lifespawn and more heat. I suggest that you increase it with small staps.

For example: default is 1.10 volt. Try to increase to 1.15 volt and then 1.20volt. If you do 1.50volt at once it can kill you card.

JrRacinFan · Apr 19, 2008

It would be my first ever ATi bios mod. Is Winflash safe? Should I adjust all states that are listed?

VuurVOS · Apr 19, 2008

I never had problems with ATIwinFlash. If something goes wrong, the fault isn't caused by ATIwinFlash. My suggest is that you only change the 3D states.

JrRacinFan · Apr 19, 2008

Mmk thanks, I am going to just look around sme more information and once I feel confident enough I will try it. Is it better to flash in safe/vga mode? Or just exit out all current running processes?

The best/safest way to flash your card is in dos. You can do it with a bootable usb stick with atiflash and bios on it

JrRacinFan · Apr 19, 2008

Thanks tho but I found a way to try out a different voltage through Ati Tray Tools. Gave me an extra 4 mhz gpu and 10 mhz mem. So I am not even going to bother. Thanks tho.

PaulieG · Apr 19, 2008

Jr, I'm kinda at the same place as you are. Winflash works to an extent, though I can't get it to correctly change the subsystem ID, so that I can flash my card with the ATI clock speed fix bios. i'm worried if I force flash it in Dos, I'll fubar the card permanently.

JrRacinFan · Apr 19, 2008

Does the driver voltage transitions actually work tho thats my question, even tho that should be in a thread of its own.

Fitseries3 · Apr 20, 2008

problem... i flashed my new bios to my 3870 and now CCC, traytools, amdgpuclocktool, etc cant recognize my card. gpu-z says it's the same exact card though.

what do i do to fix this?

Did you flash it with the correct subsystem-ID?

i just left the VT one there. is that bad? i guess i should've change it to ATI?

erocker · Apr 20, 2008

Yes, just reflash it with the correct subsystem ID.
