fx5900 problems

which leads me to wonder.. of those claiming "doa" 5900's, what's the chances they hosed it by flashing their bios and are afraid to admit it? hmmm....
or even a worse conspriacy theory.. they are receiving rma's from places like gameve where the cards were already flashed, broken, and returned for rma.. then being sold as "retail" to unwitting buyers. i mean, i haven't heard anyone who's bought one from say, newegg complain... okay, maybe i'm getting paranoid..

LOL, maybe just a little paranoid. 🙂 But hey, it could happen!
Still waiting for a reply from this thread creator. It would be nice to know if he did or did not flash his bios. If he did, it would be further proof and a warning to others not to try the same thing. If he didn't, then I wish he would say so so then we can move on and try to get it working for him.

i think there've been enuff horror stories of flashing bios to provide warning. if you still try.. well.. let's just say it's not excactly the smartest thing to do.. the risks for the minimal (if any) gain are high.
i have yet to see any proof an "flashed" card is any faster than just an "oc'd" card. is there any?

no bios mod. i have yet to read anything conclusive indicating there's something to be gained there to justify the risk of a bad flash/dead card.
i've had it up to 500/1000 where it ran stable (and hot!) for several hours, but showed a bit of artifacting.
475/950 the sweet spot for me, and running 5950u speed on a card that cost $170 "out the door" is plenty value for me 🙂

No prob. Did you follow the driver cleaner instructions to the letter? And did you clean the cab files while in Driver Cleaner. They say its not necessary, but they recommend it. Driver Cleaner 2.7 should be the most recent version so make sure you have that one. Make sure you have plugged in the extra power connector to the 5900. ummm, what else.... What operating system are you running and what version of directX do you have installed.
Lets start with that.

weird.....I'm running a flashed FX5900. Before I flashed, I upgraded to the latest nVidia driver, 53.03. Flashed, now running at 525/970.
