no it wasn't meant to be like that... he changed the whole graphics card... He got a 5950 ultra for the price of a R9800... Ahm i'm not good in english so I'm having a pretty hard time expressing myself the right way... sory :)

urosv:Tanks for the info. I have only the leadtek bios. Can you write here a working link for the gainward bios if it works correctly with the asus v9950. THX!!!!

The most interesting thing is that my Asus 5900 was only partialy stable at 475MHz core and 950 MHz ram, and now it is 100% stable with 8°C lower temp. Is this good or what ?! :D

Hey i have the A350 Leadtek 5900 Ultra TDH MyVivo card. I tryed to flash the BIOS but was getting a wierd error so i just updated the BIOS. Its picked up the card as a A380 now but i was wondering if having not flashed the BIOS would change anything?

I see no changes in performance atm. Looking up the Geforce tab under display properties the BIOS date isn't the same as the A380's version.

My version:

4.35.20.32

The version we downloaded:

4.35.30.32

Does this mean i haven't installed it right?

What about the Albatron GeForce FX 5900EPV?

What about this card? is there any chance?

yes Oracle you didn't install it... Flash it with the link I provided...

The fact is that all those cards are based on NVIDIA reference design - so I think all of them will work... Try it, but I would test the card if it overclocks to 475/930 MHz - because if it doesn't then i wouldn't flash it... BUT - my Gigabyte 5900XT would overclock max -> 450/840 and with the 5950U bios it works stable at 475/950.

urosv:

I downloaded the zip that you link to and flashed my BIOS with that. I then used the file 5950E400.ROM to update my BIOS with WFFLASH.EXE. My PC know thinks i've got a Geforce 5950 and its reading the BIOS version as:

4.35.20.35.08

Thats with NVidia's 53.03 Drivers installed instead of Leadtek's ones.

My question is, have i done it right this time? And if so shouldn't i configure the card to the A380 Ultra? Wouldn't that work better with the card? I see no performance boost at all.

Any help appreciated.
