Radeon bios editing tools?

Come on AMDMatt where are you?!?!

I need to edit the bios permanently as I can't change anything in Unix fellas.
 
It's running a vanilla bios Uber.

Ah well, seems this will be the last AMD GPU I ever buy. Crap ! same as the 7970 I had I should have learned.

What's the problem Andy?

The card I have is crap is the problem.

In Windows it's OK. Miles off of what it should be, no doubt down to the crap memory. However in Unix, where it is fully supported, with an official driver, it doesn't work properly.

I get artefacts all over objects in games until I close in on them and they redraw. And, I've heard this is down to the crap memory on my card because I have seen several reports of it happening on 290s with the crap memory in Windows.

The fix is apparently to down clock the ram so that it stops, yet in Unix there is no tool to do that so I'm completely stuck with a duff card again.

The 7970 I used to have did it too, and I dropped £439 on that.

Now I know why I always swore by Nvidia GPUs :(

There's the issue. Everything is covered with glittery blocks, when you close in on them they redraw OK but eventually it just crashes out to desktop.
