ATI 5870 bios flasher tool by evocarlos

[Evocarlos]

hey guys so now having a 5870 and the need to flash the bios i have converted my flasher menu from nvid to ati

it looks like this and is easy to use

#1 -to backup the stock bios
#2 -to flash the msi unlocked bios (included in zip)
#3 -to restore the stock bios (requires the bios to be backedup 1st)
#4 -to see atiflash command line inputs
#5 -to exit to a dos prompt

it can be run from a bootable usb pen and by changeing it to the ati flasher direcotry(cd ati flasher) then by typing 5870 and pressing enter

result
before (stock ati bios)__________________________________after (unlocked msi bios)
see how left is ATI and right is MSI


the menu on its own is harmless
but option 2-3 in the menu will change the bios on your gpu that is found in location -0 (first slot)

on that note if the card becomes a brick from the use of this menu then on you head be it i will take no resposably
i made this menu purelly for convience

make sure you back up you bios with gpu-z 1st so you have a 2nd copy of you bios elsewhere if ever you need to recover the stock bios

the ati flasher can be downloaded from here

edit:- the msi unlocked bios lets you push more clock's in the CCC the stock bios is locked to 900 / 1200 the msi unlocked bios is much much more

just to note with the Msi bios the core max is 1600 and ram is 2600 a little over the top but as you can see its unlocked ive also found that theres no need to modified the .cfg file in msi afterbuner to set higher clocks
it can be left on 0

Whats the difference/benefit from using the atiflash tool?

hey
its more of a convience
its easyer than typing the fash codes in manually
with this menu you can backup and flash you bios with just a couple of key presses

as for an overclocking point of view normally the stock bios core speed is fix'd to 900mhz core with the msi bios included the fix'd core speed in ccc is removed so you can overclock higher

and if you slap some real cold on it then you can push even more

also when your done you can load the menu and put the stock bios back on the card restoring it back to stock..

Nice work man! Think I will try it out.

A question, is there any option to get more than 1.35v max in MSI Afterburner?
