Updating my Drivers after Bios modding question.

[Drizzt5]

Over the summer I Bios modded my 4850 both to unlock the clocks in CCC and to set them at 800/1000 in the bios. That was back when 8-7 were up to date drivers. Well I heard from someone that If you upgrade your drivers to 8-8 that your bios would not work and you would have a hell of allot of problems so you might as well stay with 8-7.

Now I'm going to reformat and throw my new HDD in raid 0. And so I was backing up all my stuff and preparing the drivers when I remembered this whole thing... Would upgrading to the latest drivers for my 4850, 8-10 i think, cause it to act up? I happen to like my clocks and setup atm and I rather not bios mod again if I don't have to. I can always just reinstall the 8-7 drivers but If I can get the latest drivers it would be better so I can take advantage of them.

So... 8-10 would be fine for me to use? Or do some new bios mod so that I can use 8-10? Or stay with 8-7?

Usually if you just changed the clock..it should be ok but if you changed the CCC limit with method 2 (manually) you might have a problem.

What you can do is remod another bios with the clocks that you like and transplant the CCC limit from another official bios...that should do it.

Thanks, I can't remember what the last bios mod I did was (I did like 9 of them... damn) But it may have been JUST the clocks in which case, like you said, I will be fine.

The problems I may have won't be permanent damage right? This sounds like it won't be a big deal... I will just try out the new drivers that I have saved on my external after I get my raid set up and if they fail in some way then I can either go uninstall those drivers/reformat (bugger) or just reflash the bios once again without method 2.

Is there anyway I can tell if I did it the way that won't cause problems or not? It's not like I have reformatted or run into any problems as of yet.

You can extract your current bios with gpu-z and check it.

I'm going to upload it to the site using gpu-z, if someone could tell me if this bios would work with 8-10 I would appreciate it allot

Yes, so I installed windows vista after I raided my drives, and then installed the newest drivers for my 4850s. They just didn't work so.... i went into safe mode and got rid of them and then installed the old ones.... Can someone help me make a good bios for my asus 4850? I don't fully remember how I did it over the summer...
