Hi, i want to transform my x1950gt to pro, i tired with bios from 2006 which had black screen issue because of timing of the fans, that problem is well known and fixed in later versions.
Now, the official last bios for x1950pro from Sapphire does not work on my card, I tried that and after flashing it asked me to plug the power cord in even though it was in, so does anyone knows how to flash x1950gt to pro, with what bios?
 
My X1950GT could overclock past Pro speeds, but the PCB for the GT and Pro are different (Pro has digital VRM, and the GT doesn't), and I believe some Pros had faster RAM (I believe the GT had 1.4ns, the Pro had something like 1.2ns, so it was about 200MHz or something faster, but could be wrong).
With all of this, you'd be better off just flashing the GT with the fastest clocks you can get the card to.
 
There are some PROs based on the GT PCB, all the new Sapphire ones are. But I think the GT uses slower memory so I would just OC it.
