Hello everyone! It's my first post here
I want to flash my Gigabyte 6850 OC bios to unlock it's voltage to the 6870 level (0.025 is always something...).
My normal clocks are 890MHz Core, 1200MHz Memory. My actual bios is 013.012.000.023.000000 (113-xxx-xxx). I have already done backup.
I was never flashing a GPU before - so I'm a bit... scared and uncertain.
I already have vga_ultility@bios.exe from Gigabyte website. I have backup... so...
This bios i compatible with my 6850 OC? I know only that my GPU has screwed-up voltage controller (thanks gigabyte...) and other bios'es may not work. So i found:
1) http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/110144/gigabyte-hd6870-1024-110928.html
2) http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/100702/gigabyte-hd6870-1024-110221.html (SOC version, not OC so i dont know anything about voltage controller)
And what if i will brick my card? How to re-flash it? BIOS will work to re-flash it using pendrive? I can't loose my pretty GPU
Sorry for bad language I'm writing here and... learning quantum mechanics (it's... biggest <censored> i ever had to learn). I hope you will help me to find a good compatible bios with my VGA Card
