anyone else have any mod bios results?

ill let u know when i get my new cpu, will run at stock, 825, and 940 in 3dmark06.

I also made an XP installation on a seperate ide hdd, and found that atitool volts actually stick ;)

so its just a vista thing, I tried the core at 1.45v but aimed high at 990core, lols, i wasnt too surprised it artifacted a wee bit and since then i have taken my pc totally apart and rebuilt with cable management in mind ;) so ill have nice pics to show

Anyhoo, ill let u know what difference it makes once i remove the cpu bottleneck from my system :toast:

yes with the modded bios using the quantum force editor i could bench all 3dmarks at 900 on core

single 2900xt @ 900 core (1.35 volts) and 1070 mem on e6850 at 4144 mhz 3dmark05 score 25794 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3798110

dual 2900xt @900 core (1.35 volts) 1070 mem on e6850 at 4009mhz 3dmark03 score 78551 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5617980

dual 2900xt @900 core (1.35 volts) 1070 mem on e6850 at 4009mhz 3dmark01 score 77471http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9292488

my cards both are watercooled on core , just sometimes got slight artifacts in 3d03 trolls lair

Thanks for the update. Do you have 3D06 scores yet?

hey peeps,

the QF bios editor doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried using two of my own bios files from GPU-z and the TPU bios saver, plus also another bios downloaded from TPU but they all just give me blank fields :(

Model: Sapphire 512MB 2900 Pro (256bit version).

Any thoughts?

Try downloading a BIOS from TPU's Bios files or from some other website, make sure it the right bios to your card though.

Why not make it a simple bin file? No need for all the periods in your file. Just make it 2900.bin <<that's it!

o you don't have the 512 ver?

I would say flash it into a XT first, but I don't know what will happen on the 256bit card doing that.

Pretty sure it will brick it.

I'm guessing with the 256-bit version you can ONLY overclock core and memory...sorry no flashing :(

And you have to do it the hard way as the neat 2900pro tools don't seem to work with 256-bit :(


You really should upload your 256-bit BIOS into the TPU! Video Card BIOS database. I honestly don't think we have a 256-bit 2900PRO bios yet

sorry 'bout your luck 'cuz

It could brick it, or it could unlock it.

Yip, the one in the screenshot is the one from TPU, and is definitely from a 256bit 512mb 2900 pro.

I tried two of mine own called 2900.bin and 2900bios.bin and neither worked. That one with all the fullstops is the one I downloaded from TPU.

o you don't have the 512 ver?

Yeah you can't get the 512bit version here in NZ for some reason. The 256bit is dirt cheap tho so it's not all bad (exactly two-thirds the price of the 8800GT).

Flashing it with a 512bit bios doesn't work. Some guy on XS forums tried it with the same card and had to blind-flash it back.

Yip you do, it was the first one on the 2900 BIOS page :p

It could brick it, or it could unlock it.

Yeah I'd be keen to know if it physically only has a 256bit interface, or 512bit with half the lanes disabled.

The core runs at 1.08v as well (max overclock = 766MHz) so it would be really REALLY nice to get the voltage up to 1.15v - 1.20v territory as well :cool:

I'm having trouble flashing my 2900xt 512. I just wanted to try a simple small increase in the clocks with the quantum force editor, just to see how it worked. I raised it to 800/900. I made the bootable usb drive which works fine. I put ati flash and my new bios on the drive. Booted from the usb drive, typed "atiflash -p 0 -newbios new.bin -f" I also tried
"atiflash.exe -f -p 0 new.bin" both commands worked.

After it finished flashing, it said restart to complete the bios upgrade. This was a part that made me think, how do I restart. I just did a hard reset and I had no display once it restarted. I tried it a few times and still nothing. I had to blind flash back to the original. What could the problem be?

You can check your Bios 256 bit per hex editor itself, as you can also modify the tension. My example is 819/1200 at 1.15 V and 1.2 V 835/1200. Zb comparison, in Vista, 1.15 V with only 750 stable. Sry for my English

We have already made 256 bit bios versions:

Yea, it's an Abit IP35-E mobo. Is there any workaround for it? Maybe update the bios on the motherboard?

Well, I updated my motherboard bios and it was still a no go. Is there anybody here that has successfully flashed their 2900 with an Abit motherboard?

Thanks. I really want to be able to flash it since the voltages in ati tool won't stick after you close it.

Maybe I just like doing things the easy way ..But it seems that if it won't flash on the Abit ...why not just use a friends or one of your other rigs [assuming you have more machines] flash the card and put it back in the Abit :(

Ya is see that.. my point is if you can get it to post after flashing in another rig it should then be all good in the Abit too..if it won't post after flashing in thr other machine then that would take me too a v card issue not the Mb ...and if it posts in the other rig then it should work fine with the new bio in the Abit ;)

My computer posts and boots up, but I have no display. Is there something I'm missing? I let it go after I flashed it and I heard the windows boot up noise or whatever you call it. So it flashes and posts, but I get no display. I may just flash it in my other rig. I really would rather just keep in my main though.

apparently it doesn't work on abit boards because they're the only ones that check for bad checksums.

the modded bioses will have a different checksum to the original, so they just need to be fiddled with to make sure the checksum stays the same.

there are modded bioses which retain the checksum you just have to look hard enough to find them.

if i find them again i'll post em up :toast:
