ATI Radeon 2900 XT 512MB Bios Flash

Chicken Patty · Nov 27, 2007

Ok, i'm new here to these forums, I have read for days on how to flash the bios for my Radeon 2900, but I can't completely understand how to. Can somebody please explain to me step by step on how to do this, reading from everybody, and everybodies different ways of doing it is just confusing.

Thank you.

The easiest way is to use Dolfs flasher. Hang on, I will find it.

Very nice

Id love to reach those kind of speeds with my 2x 2900XTs

But I dont think mine could go that high because I get a system lockup when overclocking above 823/900 in CCC Overdrive :cry:

damn man thats good. Imma try to flash my bios tonight if I have time, and hopefully I can make it into the 11000 3d marks.

Chicken Patty · Nov 27, 2007

Would it matter if I flash my bios with lets say a Sapphire 2900 if I have an ASUS version?

So I can higher the voltage on the video card.

JC316 · Nov 27, 2007

It's best to stick with the brand of your card. So Sapphire to Sapphire, HIS to HIS.

You can use rabit[/b] to edit the voltages yourself, and you can edit fan duty cycles, clock speeds, among other things I believe.

Chicken Patty · Nov 28, 2007

Ok I ended up using the Quantum Force 2900 Editor. I flashed my BIOS, and I set my voltage to 1.35. The max core I can overclock to before it shutting down is 831MHz. The memory is up to 1024MHz and still going. Can you guys suggest anything, do you think I am where I am supposed to be, give me some feedback please.

Thank you.

Chicken Patty · Nov 30, 2007

Alright guys, i'm running across some problems here, maybe the card might not even be good. I did the bios flash, I ran 3d mark everything is ok, temperature, running beautiful. Now, all of the sudden I can't run any game, it will crash as it loads up. I usually get like particles on the screen, or the screen just freezes. Could this be anything else rather than video card related? Maybe RAM?

Please help, any feedback is appreciated.

u flashing ur bios to change voltage or clock or both? To what clock do u change? If too high with stock voltage, maybe it unstable.
