Mist Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 I would either get the 5900 or a 9800 se that you could open the pipes up on. Reason being is bother are cheap to begin with however if you want a sure fire winner the 9800 pro cannot be beaten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetallicaFreak Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 This sounds great. I have an xfx 5900 128mb card, will any of these bios mods work for it? If not, is it possible to get this awsome bios for that card? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetallicaFreak Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 How would you flash it back? Should I be able to download the bios for my card from the manufacturers website? Sorry, Im a noob to vid bios flashing :-) Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVE Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 When you're already in Dos, just before flashing the new Bios, you can save the current bios that your card is currently using. It saves it to the same floppy disk, so if the flash goes bad, you flash it back with the original that you just saved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetallicaFreak Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 crap, when I use the utility to flash the bios, it errors out for me. Guess you can't use it on the XFX 5900 card :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wamphyri Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Didnt work for me on my XFX either.... oh well at least some people are having luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVE Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I forgot what the command for it was, but some cards have their Bios write protected and that may be why you can't do it on the XFX cards. There's a command to use that removes the write protection and then you can proceed to flash the bios. It's a specific command for a specific program you have on your boot floppy.

ShadowPaktu Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 according to nuke (who i tend to believe in all these matters lol) its not wise to flahs the card in any utility, iwas going toi . (gonna flash im tomorrow in dos) but he said that as the bios are for 2 different cards, then you will get errors etc if you try to flash it with the program that came with your card in windows, so if you do it in dos it should be fine.

MetallicaFreak Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Is this a command that I would use with the flash utility to un-write protect the bios? If you could give some specific instructions, that would be great. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 If you d/l my 5950U Mod Package, it will have all the instructions that you need to flash the card. If you are using my package, the command you will want to use is: WFFLASH.EXE NM 5950.ROM WFFLASH.EXE = Flash program name NM = The command that automatically overwrites your current BIOS without checking 5950.ROM = The BIOS file that you are flashing.
