This morning I followed the techPowerUp article on editing/flashing ATI card bios and simply edited the fan profile. After flashing the new bios to the card I am unable to use the ATI Catalyst drivers. It installs fine, but after I restart and it tries loading the driver, it gives an error saying that the driver stopped itself due to incompatibility. I did a desktop cleanup between restarts and deleted the wrong bios files , leaving me with ones that are corrupt due to ATIFlash not being able to pull all 128kb of the bios from the card.
Also, GPU-Z shows this for the second GPU in the dropdown list:
While I wish what GPU-Z is showing was true, it obviously can not be. Also Riva Tuner is not displaying info correctly either. It has 3 GPUs listed in the drop down, one simply labeled GPU0\ \ (Default monitor), and the other two are the normal GPU1/2 \ ATI Radeon 4870 x2. Neither one gives the ability to change the clock speeds, each only allows you to change the fan profile.
If anyone has a solution for the driver compatibility, or can get a copy of a Sapphire 4870 x2 (or any for that matter) default/working bios, or help in any other way, I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks,
James
