6 cards are known and tested to work. These brands are : Leadtek's 5900 series including the slower LX model, Gainward's 5900 series, Elsa 5900 series, Insight 5900 XQ series and Rex Technology 5900 series.

Il n'y a pas de bios pour le carte MSI, juste le marke dans le quote sans connu pour etre "flash-able"

On the MSI forum there was this morning a link posted for the MSI FX5950 bios. link is gone or i can't find it anymore.
but i've got it now : http://users.pandora.be/ringworld/FILES/8946v100.rar
it won't stay there for ever so enjoy. (flash tool included)

I also have problems with tv-out functionality. have tried with two different gainward bios, and the leadtek one(although that one rendered the card useless in win - blank screen)
also the only bios that doesn't have the card running 4x agp is the original....that does run 8x agp - could be a driver issue of course but cant get that working.

I have the gainward 5900xt which before landed at 466/880 max, that after the bios is updated can run at least 475/930 so I would like very much to get it working - Any thoughts anyone?
thank you in advance. (Also I would like to thank the people who have already posted links to the download sites)

I'm using an XFX FX5900 256MB, and I can't make either nvflash or wfflash work.

For those having trouble with the board ID, the latest version of nvflash (4.46) does not seem to have an override flag. Look for 4.42, which has an override flag for board ID (-2) or look for 4.41 which does not seem to check for it at all. 4.46 removed the board ID override and changed the flags for the other ID overrides from -u & -p to -2 & -1

This hasn't helped me, however.

I tried wfflash first. I used 'wfflash nm a380u.rom' (and later 5950e400.rom). It tries to save the old BIOS to saveold.rom (I'd already done that, though), then it does some kind of verification that always fails with "Verifying error address 0002,data 7c'. It asks if I want to try again, but nothing makes it go through.

nvflash seems to get further, but the end result is still failure. It gives me the warnings about mismatched IDs, then says that it's erasing the EEPROM, then says that it's writing the new BIOS file...then it dies with 'Mismatch in 256 byte page-write programming'. Oddly, the old BIOS is still intact on the card after this. I have been able to successfully write a copy of the existing BIOS back to the card with nvflash, but I cannot do it with wfflash (I get an error similar to the one above).

This is with both 4.42 and 4.41 -- if anyone had success, what version of nvflash was used?

I have the same exact problem.. I'm wondering if XFX locked the bios. Could be possible.. Maybe we should try erasing it first?
