If there is anyone who can provide me with the bios for this Sapphire 6870 p/n (299-3E174-020SA) video card.
Tried the ones in the downloads section on the forum but none have my part number...thus the bsod upon catalyst driver installation.
Im trying to fix the card for a friend of mine and he did not save the original bios.
Thank you.

I just opened a ticket, but i doubt it, they dont usually give the bios because of the warranty statements. :(

Thanks, but the link is no longer valid.
I found the problem, its the gpu chip, its unsoldered from the pcb, i reflowed it, now i have all the 1120 shaders available, the card starts, but its buggy with artifacts every now and then.
Maybe ill reflow it again if it becomes unusable.
Thank you for everyones support.
The bios for the Sapphire 11179-09-20G is the one that i believe works for every card with this PN and it is found in the Bios collection on techpowerup.com
