Do you own a Sapphire Radeon HD 6870?

Does it look like this card:

Does it have 2x DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort like the card pictured (and not 2x Mini DisplayPort)?

If yes, I would really like a copy of your card's BIOS. Getting a copy of the BIOS is easy:

1) Download ATI Winflash

2) Run ATI Winflash

3) Click "Save"

I have a Sapphire 6870 with a borked HDMI output, and I think it's because it has the wrong BIOS loaded on it. The card outputs fine over DVI, but it won't output over HDMI.

I already tested all the Sapphire 6870 BIOS files on TechPowerUp here (none worked): http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/...re&model=HD+6870&interface=PCI-E&memSize=1024

Thanks much for the file. I tried flashing it as is, but I get a "Subsystem ID mismatch" error. I will try editing it with RBE first to get the Subsystem IDs to match, or maybe force flashing it.

I just wanted to say thanks to RavenSEAL for helping me out. I needed to force flash the card with the BIOS he provided, but after doing so the HDMI port was functional again.

I downloaded the BIOS that RavenSEAL provided, and force flashed my video card with the BIOS. No edits were made to the BIOS with RBE.

Hi, ive got a weird problem. When i open GPU-Z i can see that my graphic card has only got 960 shaders instead of 1120 and im really p***ed off because it stays 960 nomatter what bios i flash into it. Any cure for that?

I can get u one but i have to unbrick my graphics card first

I think is the 6850 with 960 shaders. Check your bios or do a gpu-z screenshot.
