I have flashed both of my HD4870's to BIOSes that do not work. At first they were running just fine, so just in case i formatted and reinstalled windows. However this means that i deleted the backups of my BIOSes. SO i am kind of stuck. :( I have used every single BIOS on techpowerup for each of my cards. I have 1x gecube hd4870 and 1x force 3d Freezer DHT. Basically what happens is both cards work fine until i get into any 3d app whereupon they work for a little while until either windows BSODs or VPU recoverer catches the problem. I have mailed Gecube who promptly sent me a bios that was even worse than the one that i had before.
Force 3d have been contacting their engineer for the past 2 weeks to get me this BIOS but otherwise have done nothing to help. If anyone has a BIOS for either of these cards coulde they please help me out. I have been crysis free for the past 2 weeks uinless you count crashing benchmarks i am using for a stability test.
If anyone can tell me why these BIOSes crash because i can't see why they would, it is probably something to do with the ram.
Gecube sent me a BIOS for qimonda ram, but i tihnk they sent me one with the wrong type of qimonda ram, there are 2 types of gddr 5 :
IDGV51-05A1F1C-40X
and
IDGV51-05A1F1C-50X
and i have a feeling that they sent me the one for the 50X. while i have a card with the 40X.
My force 3d also has the 40X.
so if anyone here either has a stock cooler gecube with IDGV51-05A1F1C-40X VRAM or a force 3D with a freezer DHT with the same VRAM, ie IDGV51-05A1F1C-40X VRAM. I would really appreciate it if you could send me your BIOSes.
I just can't take all the waiting. They are going to give me the right one eventaully, i am just here (and on every tech support forum on teh intorweb) to hurry it all up a bit.
Please! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!
