x1800rx bios wanted! Please help me..

[Skycaptain]

Something went wrong when backing up my bios, and I don´t have my club3d x1800rx bios anymore! (atiflash wrote a .txt file, and bios editors give errors, wouldn´t dare to flash it).

My card runs with Sapphire x1800xl bios ATM, but it´s not unlocking and now I can´t even change core voltage...and there might be other issues also. :(

If anyone has x1800rx, PLEASE, it would be wonderful if you could backup/dump it and email it to me....seriously, this situation eats me alive.. :banghead:

give me the specifications of the card, i never heard of an x1800rx.

It´s like a x1800GTO 256Mb, but it´s Club3d´s own Rage Extreme (rx) model.

So, it´s a "Club3d´s x1800 GTO 256Mb", but official name is x1800rx 256Mb. I don´t know if it packs some extra features, cause I have later noticed it´s a bit more expensive than the rest of the x1800 GTO:s, and Club3d is somewhat braggin about that Rage Extreme thing.

I really need the original BIOS, nothing else seems to quite work right.. :(

you can put a normal x1800GTO from direct 3d or any manofacturer, i think it was a little more expensive because they OCed it a bit.

Really? I can´t remember how it was with the default bios, but with x1800XL bios I can see all the temps and amps and change memory voltage with ATI Tool. I actually tried putting in a Sapphire x1800 GTO 256Mb bios, but I lost the ability to see or do any of those things, at least with Ati Tool, so I thought the bios is somehow acting strange...

Is this just a common Ati Tool problem, or related to using the wrong bios? See, this is one of the main reasons I thought it would be best to get the default bios...

it happened to me when i tried to flash my x1800xl to XT, its really tricky you gotta work with like no visibility, i managed to pull it off, but if is too much for you could fladh before entering WINDOWS by making a boot disk.

?

My card is working ATM, if that´s what you mean, but with X1800XL bios, and if nothing else, it doesn´t let me change core voltage. I have already tried to flash with my failed backup bios, and it caused black screen of death. I saved the card with an auto-flash floppy I made, and now I´m again stuck with the x1800XL bios.

If I flash with different GTO bios, Ati Tool doesn´t show me any temps or ampers, and won´t let me control any voltages or fan. So I don´t think different GTO bios is a good solution....causes that kind of odd behavior. :(
