Question is..... can you flash the new Sapphire 5850 Toxic BIOS on a Sapphire 5850 1GB Version.
The 1 GB version that I am talking about is the non Reference Sapphire 5850. If you look at the two cards the PCB's and almost everything seems to match. Do you think it is safe to do. From what I understand the two cards are almost the same except for the clocks and the cooler. Here is a pic of the two cards that I am talking about..... as you can see they are both non reference.
If you look at the two cards at New egg and anywhere else online it seems that the back of the PCB is Identical. Has Anyone done this or could anyone give me some advice.
Thanks
BTW the new BIOS version is listed here in case someone needs it.....
