Radeon HD4850: Flash BIOS and Overclocking

[lemorce]

Hello friends, well, after thinking it very much, I risks to flash my PowerColor HD4850, I did it for the method of DOS , with Atiflash and thank to god it worked very good  :biggrin:.
I put a bios generated by me with the RBE, the only thing that I was interested was to fit the fan to improve temperatures, so I use the original BIOS and used the recommendation of the RBE for the configuration of the fan.

I have some doubts that I hope you could clarify to me:

I have another identical card (PowerColor HD4850), which I have just bought, I glide to do a crossfireX. My doubt is if flashing the one that it had is going to bring me conflicts when it tries to do the Crossfire, or if I have to flash also the new card so that the Crossfire recognizes it. Someone has some idea of this, because I have seen that sometimes the CCC does not recognize the way crossfire because they do not have the BIOS of factory. I don't know.

thank in advanced and sorry for my english one again.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem if the BIOS was just a simply overclocked BIOS.

Now if it was a Workstation BIOS..you're going to have to backflash.

Hello Elton, in this case I must no have problems, cause I made a simply overclock (a change, rather), to the original BIOS, that is great. :biggrin:
what do you mean with "Workstation BIOS" ?

thank in advanced

Well, I'm not too sure if there is even a workstation BIOS for the HD4850, but a Workstation BIOS is basically a modified BIOS that is used on professional cards(FIREGL and QuadroFX cards), however you'd also need the drivers for it.

All the Workstation Bios really does is make the OS think that it's the professional version of the card and not the commercial(radeon/GeForce) version.
