4870 Asus TOP bios. 900mhz in CCC
- Thread starter gurusan
- Start date
Just updated.
Early results are great.
No need to use amd upgrade tool.
And even though no extra voltage, it seems a more stable bios and lets me clock my card higher.
CCC now says 875/1090 is the max overclock wheres I could only get to 839/1100 with the amd tool.
Plus reports on other sites say the fan profile graph is fantastic on this bios too (I am under water so can;t comment)
so this is a keeper until the diamond bios comes out.

Yea, my card would die if I put that bios on
You could edit it so less than 815 is the default before you flash it.
What do I use with ATi Flash 3.6?
Is it same as this???:
- Flashing with ATIFlash (ATI) - Use ATIFlash v1.16
Standard Procedure:
1. a:atiflash -s 0 backup.rom [Enter] (to backup the Orginal BIOS)
2. a:atiflash -p 0 file.rom [Enter] (to flash your card with a new BIOS)

Any word on powerplay. Does it work correctly with this bios?
I'm not sure if powerplay is a driver/bios issue. May be a bit of both. But I did read that powerplay was working on the MSI 48XX series.

If you want to just flash with the Asus bios unchanged:
1. Use gpu-z (must be latest version or the bios file is not large enough) to take a copy of your existing bios (handy for problems or if you need to put your old bios back on ever)
Winflash in windows will not work with the Asus bios, it comes up with an error so you need to run it in a command prompt as follows:
you have to run it through the command prompt.
Step 1: create a new folder in the root directory of your C drive (so you can easily navigate to it in DOS).
Step 2: copy all the ATI WinFlash files and the new BIOS to this new folder.
Step 3: open command prompt and navigate to your new folder.
Step 4: use the normal ATIFlash command: "atiwinflash -f -p 0 [insert bios name here].rom"
it should take a minute or two to flash. it will tell you to reboot. you'll have to reinstall your video driver. but everything worked for me after that.
WARNING: if you don't get a successful confirmation at the end of the flash, make sure you flash it again before you reboot. you will brick your card if you reboot before a successful flash.
If you don't fancy your card booting up to the default Asus bios speeds of 815/925 then download RBE 1.12 (version 1.11 will not work with 4870 bios) and load up the Asus bios.
Change the clock settings on 0,3,4,5,6 and 9 to whatever you want eg 750Mhz.
Save bios.
Flash as above.
Here's a shot of the fan profile as well for you:

Do you need a boot disk thing or anything? Ive not flashed a card in ages either.
When you say the fan profile works better, can you explain how? My cards pretty toasty at stock as i have only 25% fan on, any louder and i can hear it, but i dont mind it louder while i game.

No boot disk requires. Just open up a command prompt in windows after following my intsructions.
As for fan profile, a standard 4870 works as follows:
no fan till 60C and no max fan until 100C
New Asus bios works as follows:
40C 20%
50C 30%
60C 39%
70 45%
75 48%
80C 58%
88C 75%
95C 100%
Plus is is set to repsond to overheating pwm as well and only spins up at 38% on boot up.
It's what the fan profile should have been from the start tbh.

Thanks very much, worked a treat, by god is it noisy at its boot up and standard in windows though, thank goodness for profiles
Just going to give mass effect a whirl since its a good bit over my default settings before, see if its less intrusive and cooler.
