Can anyone offer me some advise please. My current GPU is a Gigabyte 5870 (GV-R587D5-1GD-B)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3221&dl=1#ov
I run 3 screens off it, 2 x Dell 2008’s and a Dell 3008 on the display port. Until recently Its had ccc 10.3 on it (I know, I know) and its been fine. Newer drivers seem to have introduced a known issue whereby the monitor on the DP will “blink” into standby for a couple of seconds randomly then come back up again. Its something to do with insufficient volts on the DP port of the card.
Anyway to cut a long story short, its fixable with a bios flash but I am unsure as to where to source a newer bios than the one that is on there.
I’ve been through the techpowerup bios collection and using their filter listed;
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/...te&model=HD+5870&interface=PCI-E&memSize=1024
The date of my current BIOS is the one listed at the very bottom as 2009-09-14 15:05:00.
I’m rambling but I would like to know from someone more knowledgeable than me in these matters it the above bios’s are suitable for my card and if so can I simply select the newest one and flash it using the ATIflash utility (I’ve read the howto at the top of the page).
Cheers in advance.

never mind though it seems to have been resloved with the 11.8 drivers.
