I've got the Sapphire 2900 Pro 1GB.
Anyone know of a BIOS editor for the 2900 that does more than simple clock frequency and voltage adjustments? I've seen the Shamino & Quantum Force editors, but they only allow these basic adjustments. The voltage on the QF editor can only be adjusted upwards too - and I need downward adjustments. Shamino doesn't let you change it.
I need to BIOS flash my custom parameters for clock speed & fan speed temp thresholds for 2D & 3D modes, to free the card from ATI Tool, which is mostly limited to XP and is frankly quite buggy - I have to reset the parameters such as voltage and fan speeds manually at every PC reset, standby wakeup or 2D/3D switch, because the triggers don't work properly. I've reported these problems on the ATI Tool beta thread a couple of weeks ago, but there's no update yet.
Using ATI Tool (and working around the bugs), I can keep the card quiet at all times when gaming (ie 3D mode), by lowering the core voltage to 1.05v & overclocking to a nice 752 / 1107 (2214DDR). The fan runs at the quiet 31% setting at up to 88C core temp, at which point, the noisy 38% setting kicks in. With my custom settings however, the card always stays around 77-83C and hence, quiet the whole time. If I wanted all-out performance, this card is of course capable of it using much higher clocks, at the expense of heat and noise, but other than benchmarks, I'd rather have a card I can live with.
In 2D mode, I can even drop the temp down to 53C and the fan speed to a silent 25% by lowering the core voltage to 0.875v & the clocks to 253 / 295 (590DDR).
These settings seriously enhance this fantastic card, so if anyone knows of a comprehensive BIOS editor that will let me burn the custom parameters I've created using ATI Tool, I'd be very grateful.
