Damnit. Now this was last time I flash any kinda bios to vga cards. Yesterday I just tried make my own bios with RaBiT. Changed Vgpu to 1.425v and tried ketxxx mem latencys. Flashed with Atiflash 3.60 and bamm, nice error. Tried to flash backup bios back and gave same error. ctrl+alt+del = black screen = Took out my Finlandia vodka from shelf. Today I visited my friends house with screwdriver on my hand, sorry could you move your ass outta my way and unscrewed his 8800GT. Gave 5 euros and said "ill be back soon..."
Plugged the 8800 to secondary slot and I just noticed that I have only one external pci-e power cord. Left the x1950 in the primary slot and hoped that I would get screen with 8800GT on secondary. Yep got screen and booted right away to dos. Typed atiflash -i. WTF what you mean no adapter found? I just guessed it was because the x1950 didn't have any external power for it so it's not working. I then did the same ritual I had done for 1000x times before blinded "atiflash -p 0 backup.rom". For some unknown reason it showed that flash was succesfull. Hitted ctrl+alt+del and mobo started beeping like the card would not have it's power cord connected. Quickly dumped the 8800 and plugged power and dvi to x1950 and wtf it's working!
I don't know the reason why it flashed it because atiflash clearly said "no adapter found", and I didn't have any luck doing same thing with just x1950 as only card with all power cords etc. attatched. Maybe this helps some people around who has problems flashing original bios back for their cards. I'm not tweaking this thing anymore, way too risky for me and I'm off for getting HD4870 1gb
Oh and the card was Connectd 3D 1950pro 256mb with volt tables showing in RaBiT.
