At some point ASUS released BIOS updates for a lot of its Radeon HD 7000 series cards, including the 7870 that I have. They allow you to download it from here:
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD7870DC22GD5/#support
It comes as an application called "UEFI" which seems like it should automatically install the new BIOS. However, when I try running it, it says "Motherboard is not UEFI compatible" and fails to install. I went into the application's Program Files folder and found that a version of the ATI Winflash application was included, so I figured I'd just find the BIOS in the folder and install in manually that way. From what I've read online, video card BIOS are kept as .rom files...but the Program Files folder didn't have any .rom files. I assume that means the BIOS was wrapped in an application in the Program Files folder? Does anyone have any idea how I can install this BIOS?
