UPDATE:
Just found out that the HD-585X-ZAFC is a non reference card with cooler in the middle. So the questions is, do i need a special bios for non reference cards?
Hello Folks,
First of all, you guys have a great forum with some smart people. I used your wisdom several times already and now it seems to be to difficult to find an answer for my current problem:
I do have;
I always use atiflash -p -f (index) from a bootable usb stick.
Here is what I planned:
I did order the xfx hd 5850 card 1 week ago and was running my system with the his card just fine and slightly oc'ed with msi AB.
Off cause I wanted to play BF3 in Ultra with at least 40 fps average so I had to crossfire my HIS with the ordered XFX card.
Here is what I did so far:
I also downloaded the XFX stock rom from your DL section and flashed this one with no improvement. (system won't start up)
I hope that you guys can help me determine if my XFX card is dead or if it is fixable.
Thanks in advance.

- 1 HIS 5850 with Asus unlock bios

Here is what I did so far:
- replaced his card with xfx card to check function
- ran furmark on xfx with locked bios =fine
- wanted to unlock xfx card with atiflash and put the asus unlock bios on it
- after flash was done card has been rebooted and black screen, no bios beep either
- i was waiting 30 sec and nothing happened, also no " no video signal window" just black screen
- took xfx into pci e slot 2 and his card back into 1 and put crossfire connector on it.
- system is booting and gpuz recognizes both cards but:
XFX card misses a lot of information in Everest and gpuz compared to HIS card. see attached screenshots:
