5870 Cypress BIOS

[spfoam1]

I have no time to search around so I'm going the lazy route......
Where can I get an unlocked BIOS for a (Sapphire) 5870 Cypress 2 GB? OR, a dummy refresher tutorial will do......
I've been out of touch so long I can't remember how I flashed my 4870s, and I don't want to brick the 5870 card experimenting with it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but it appears the 3 BIOS version listed for a 5870 2 GB are just stock.

Who can walk me thru a BIOS edit on this card with the RBE?

What do you need to unlock in bios?? iirc I just set clocks and voltages with afterburner extreme.

I have Afterburner 2.0, but that doesn't unlock the 900-1300 limit. Is there a different version I am missing?

Looks like I need a BIOS flash. Even Aferburner X 1.6.0 won't allow me even 1 MHz past 900-1300 pullhair.

Is it a different bios for the 2GB cards?
