Gainward FX 5900 (non ultra) Model Ultra/1200 Golden Sample
 

Greetings:

I own a Gainward FX Powerpack FX 5900: Model=Ultra/1200 Golden Sample 128 MB (With ViVo)

I was able to flash my Video card with the 5950E400.ROM, 5950E300.ROM, and some gainward bioses from mvktech.com (thsi was some time ago) link looks dead now

http://www.mvktech.net/download.php?list.36

The card gets flashed correctly to FX5950 Ultra and it works great on WinXp, but my TV-out just doesn't work. I tried a procedure i saw in :http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread....threadid=77573 but it doesn't work also.

I was wondering if anybody with my exact video card got the FX 5950 bios upgrade to work for them keeping the Tv-out and ViVo working. I'd apreciatte if you could tell me what you did to get it working or send me the bios via email: atinoco@puntoweb.com

My video card is: Gainward FX Powerpack: FX 5900 Model=Ultra/1200 Golden Sample 128 MB (With ViVo)
Semi-Finish Product NO=G932000IP0J0 (it's on a sticker on the card)

here's a couple of links to the card's full reviews with pictures:

the site is still live (mvktech) but link has changed http://www.mvktech.net/index.php?opt...r&filecatid=89

flashing your board will disable TV-Out 99% of the time :(

I saw that, but there are no gainward FX 5900U Bioses there now.

I spent lots of time trying this about 4 months ago, was wondering if someone with the same video card i have got it to work correctly.

Hopefully someone did. TV out its vital to me.

ok guys lets go to the finaly

i have one Gainward FX 5900xt golden sample 1100xt.

I search in this topic and i didnt find out one person thats have the same vga that me, that it worked.


I want to know if its possible to do the biosmod 5950u with my vga. i tryed to put 475-950 and i got bugs.

on this biosmod, the latency of memory is relaxed?

and i dont get the 5950e400.rom, the link is broken

Please i want the asnwers.


Thank you very much :ws:

as far as i know, the flash will not work on any 5900xt because they use slower memory on the xt and it cant handle the extra speed.....maybe with a volt mod it could work, but thats a longshot i think

As I understand it; the BIOS Mod is to "fool" the low throttle down setpoint temp. If you card is capable it will overclock nicely. But, you cannot expect your Honda Civics to outrun a Corvette;)

I have to send my Gainward 5900 Ultra 256 back to be replaced with a new one...

Mine is hacked to a 5950... I cant find the original bios anywhere. Do any of you have it saved or know where I can get it? I dont need the hacked bios as I can just pull that off my card I have now before I send it in.

Thanks! :ws:

thanks a ton!! all thats listed though is the 5900 ultra 128... you think that would work ok or should i try a different brand?

Ok... I have a problem, when i type the command "wfflash nm a380u.rom" everything start all right, but then it stops and this apears "Verefeing error adress 0002. data 7e" and the only thing i can do is to restart the system and when I get in to windows, everything is normal, like it was before the flash... Help!:(
