Hi,
I never have flashed my video card BIOS. I am computer literate, so I can follow instructions. According to GPU-Z, my BIOS version is 113-C00001-103 (012.013.000.002.034996). The GPU is a CYPRESS. The BIOS I found for flashing (http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/80275/ATI.HD5970.1024.100519.html) says HEMLOCK. Isn't this a different GPU than a CYPRESS? The subvendor is 1002. I've read around that I have to flash both processor BIOS. I guess the card doesn't have one BIOS that controls both processors. Which processors BIOS do I flash first? I also see some people flashing in DOS, and others within Windows? Is it safe to flash while running Windows? Wouldn't it be better to flash the video card in DOS off a bootable USB stick?
Any direction would be helpful, as I don't want to "brick" the card...
Thanks!
