Ok,

Earlier some guy posted some custom instructions on how to flash a XFX FX5900. I used the Gainward BIOS and it worked great!!!! My XFX GeForce FX5900 is now a FX5950 Ultra.

FOR THOSE WITH THE "I AM STUCK AT ONE RESOLUTION' PROBLEM, TRY TO REDOWNLOAD AND REINSTALL THE LATEST FORCEWARE DRIVERS. AT FIRST I WAS STUCK AT 640X480 AND COULDN'T CHANGE IT BUT AFTER I REINSTALLED THE LATEST NVIDIA DRIVERS, EVERYTHING WENT FINE.

MY RESULTS:

Clock Speeds
Stock FX5900: 400/850
Flashed @FX5950U: 475/900

3DMark03 Results (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1891660)
Stock FX5900: 5184
Flashed @FX5950U: 5687

Temperatures
Stock FX5900: 54C GPU / 37C Ambient
Flashed @FX5950U: 44C GPU / 36 Ambient

Overall, 10% increase in performance and about 20% decrease in temperature (don't ask me how, it just happened

) Overall, very sweet and it works but use at your own risk.

Not working still. I completely took the old card out of my system, uninstalled all of the drivers, and then reinstalled.. no such luck.
