what if you could have some recently opened bios list so it wouldn't take you few minutes browsing on your pc to find bios?

* edit:
check for update button?

  • A function which check after entering input, if there are other input boxes with the same old value. Gives a pop up and ask if the user want to change the other values boxes to the new value. (Is very handy when changing memory speed etc)

It would be lovely if it were possibile to control the FAN SETTINGS of 3870X2 cards.

Many people have great problems with the Fan Stepping table...... This could solve them and so won't be necessary to use RivaTuner!

My card have this problem.... The fan starts running fast just over 90°.... But in 9 cases out of 10 it will reset before this temperature to prevent frying.....

Id like to see a pal switch for enabling pal display sizes. Every previous radeon card allows 720x512, but for some reason missing on the 3870. Some cards have pal hardare switch as all previous radeon cards ... but not my launch day 3870.

If it can by added into the bios by this great bios editor, then that would be great ;)

You can set this using the CCC, can't you?

No. Not with the 3870. drop any other card in such as x800 and 1950pro and it appears as a selectable res. plop 3870 back in and the res is gone. The 3870 does have an ntsc sticker on it. im not sure if any have been released as pal versions. kinda hoping that its an unlockable hidden away in the bios somewhere ;)

Support for changing voltages in 2900 series cards would be great! ...Or if someone already got it working (in any RBE version) please let us know, thank you. Although quantum force works fine for voltage changing, it doesnt preserve correct bios checksum.

Just tried previous versions and found 1.07 works with 2900Pro(512bit) and 2900XT. Both 2D and 3D voltages works fine! 1.08, 1.09 and 1.10 didn't preserve voltage changes. I use Atiflash for flashing.

Hello BAGZZlash. You really make an amazing work on this RBE!

I am definitely voting for this one: Fan Settings access for HD3870X2. Without RivaTuner my Asus card crashes anytime I'm playing some serious games, because of overheating...

What we'd really love is the direct temperature transfer function like the one you get for single HD3870... Much better than those stupid temperature tables they use by default.

RBE v1.11 (coming the next days) will add full support of fan control for most 3870 X². Still, some 3870 X² can't be supported because the part of the BIOS programming the controller is messed up. But again: For most cards it will work. :)

This the best news of the day !

I will now start praying my Asus card has a standard design.

Have a nice day BAGZZlash.

In the TPU database, there are two BIOSes for 3870 X² from Asus, both are being supported. :) Still, gotta hope the card takes the changed values. Would you do me the favour and keep me updated after testing it?

When RBE 1.11 is available I will take some time and try to flash my Asus HD3870X2 with updated fan control. I do not plan to change the clocks though. I'll post my results on this forum of course.

I think it would be sweet if you ould set it up so that after you flash the card with the edited bios that you can overclock the card from there, this way you dont have to keep flashing the bios, it seems that after you flash the edited bios on to it they are then locked.

which card are using? I can still overclock more after i've flash. I just use RBE to edit voltage and fan settings.

I want to edit/change the default values of mem/gpu which you can see in GPU-Z.

For example the Sapphire HD 3870 Atomic Edition bios has a speed of 825/1200mhz. When I edit my normal bios to those speeds I still see the old default vaules of 777/1126mhz.

Well I've just done it.
I flashed my Asus HD3870X2 card to modify the fan control. It worked perfectly at the first attempt, the card's fan speed is now proportional to the core temperature (transfer function). And I do not experience those crashes in games anymore.

Thank you so much BAGZZlash for making this possible.

My card exact reference is "EAH3870X2/G/HTDI/1G" in case someone has the same. It is a pretty standard design that almost every HD3870X2 on the market would follow.

Please, add the possibility to adjust "duty cycle min". On my Radeon 2650 this parameter is 31 and I am planning to change it to 25. For quietness.
