HELP: Need specific BIOS for 7950 Boost Dual-X BIOS

[russbiscuit]

If anyone has a Sapphire Radeon 7950 Boost Dual-X, could you please check to see if you have BIOS p/n 113-3e24900x-s48 (ver. 015.030.000.001.000000). By default this is the version of the BIOS that appears when the blue bios switch light is on. I stupidly started messing wih my BIOS without backing it up, only to realize the version of the BIOS when you push the switch (light off), is actually slightly different and slower (it's p/n 113-3e249000-s48).

If someone has this card and could upload the BIOS somewhere to me to download (or PM me for my email address), it would be greatly appreciated.

And before someone suggests it, I've tried using some of the other BIOSes in the TechPowerUp database with the same version number but different p/n, and they cause various problems such as windows booting to a black screen or my core and memory clocks being permanently stuck at 0mhz. I've also tried contacting Sapphire tech support and they haven't been able to get me the right version of the BIOS.

For anyone who doesn't know how to check their BIOS version or download an image of it, you can download the free GPU-Z program and follow these directions:

Select: bios chip icon
Select: save to file [VbiosName.rom]
Select: VbiosName.rom [file that was created]
press right mouse button
Select: send to compressed zip folder
Upload the file to any free file service and reply with a link or PM me for my direct email address

There might be another solution. You can use VBE7 to editor the "slower" bios to the right clock speed. You can check out this thread for more information CLICK HERE FOR LINK. it's a pretty good editor. You can change voltage, base & boost speed, fan speed curve and power limits.

Oh. AS ALWAYS, DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL BIOS
