Last weekend I got Sapphire Hd 4870 1g Gddr5 Pci-e Qp. when found its GPU Clock seem always at 750MHZ, I tried to use RBE(ver 1.21) to fix the BIOS. But it shows the message : Unbale to find clock settings'Debug information'Get ClockPos Report 0'.
I do not know Why, Please HELP ME! I put the BIOS in Attachment List. BTW: when I used RBE to refix Sapphire Hd 3870 , did not see such bug.

The BIOS file came from SAPPHIRE. I used GPU-Z to get my bios(128KB), But It still can not be loaded by RBE. Maybe SAPPHIRE change the code of BIOS?

lol k

link where you got the bios, i'm not seeing any bios updates for Sapphire 4870 1gb QP or any 4870 series. If you got it from the forums then that could be the problem. And plus, if it was working fine before the flash, then why flash it. If your wanting to get higher clocks just use overdrive it works very good with these cards.

* If there was a bios update for that card, Sapphire would have added it in the Download sections. But they would say exactly which versions of the card can use it. There's usually about 3-5 different versions to each card even if there the same name... different batch

The problem is well known. RBE v1.22 will fix this issue and will be released soon, maybe today.
