I wanted to be all groovy and mod my 4850x2 Bios. Give it some more power. Headroom. Go go juice.
However, come to find the card has 2 bios chips. FINE! FLASH AWAY!!
Oh man what a mistake. It bricked the card obviously. But didn't know why.
So happens this card has very specific bios for both GPUs to work as a single card.
I didn't know. I defaulted the card to both bios's with GPU1 Original Bios. Yes I saved it! lol
When the Motherboard decides to actually post the card, sometimes it does not.
Got it working and It seems to view the cards as if they are in different slots.
Can even "enable" and Disable" CrossFire, but has 0 effect.
GPU mem clocks are also incorrect.
Edit in: There are 2 LEDs on the GPU as well. One is Gpu 1 is green and Gpu 2 is red. Or at least I assume that is the orientation. The Green one is closest to the Power plug. I am not certain exactly what these LEDs are used for, but I already know it was the flash and not having a correct GPU 2 bios, which no, I did not save. Thus the situation, but thought this tidbit might help possibly in some way and share it. I thought at first it was power related, I did examine carefully and have 4 different PCI-E cables which all give the same result.
THE MAIN QUESTION!!!
Is there any research GPU GURUs here that can help me find GPU 2 bios. (Yes I've tried all the uploaded files, but those are all GPU 1 bios files.)
Note:
Flashing the card isn't the problem. I can flash, it takes, it works and I'm experienced. I simply cannot find a suitable GPU 2 bios file anywhere. No I have not tried contacting the vender, I'm sure to be laughed at if the kid working the phone has even heard of the card....
If you have a 4850x2, PLEASE slap both GPU 1 and GPU 2 bios files here. I would very much appreciate your help.
Thanks kindly!

Here is a screen shot before I blew the card up with my bad flashing skills XD
I think both cpu-z are gpu-1, I forgot to drop down the second card (face palm)
