BIOS for R9500pro

Jesus666 · Aug 18, 2003, 01:55 PM

OK in brief:
I Want to flash my BIOS on my FIC R9500pro ( infineon memory), the problem is that on the omegaorner site i can't find the BIOS for 9500pro just for the 9700pro, should I use that BIOS?

2. How risky is it to Flash the BIOS on my card?

3. How good is the Catalyst 3.6 in conparison to the 3.5?( Of course the omega driver)

OK I'm done with questions

might be worth contacting your makers for it.worth an email to them to see if they will give you a reply or a link to yours.

It is risky to flash your bios so if you want to overclock try omega hacked drivers first.
I tried both 3.5 and 3.6, they gave me no performance difference so i kept 3.5 due to some 3.6 crashes i had when overclocking.

See the other threads for more help.

I have flashed my Hercules 9500pro with warp11 BIOS without
any problem. This BIOS unlocked my card, so I am able to OC it
with any of ATI drivers, not only with Omega's.
You can find it here:

To flash I have used utility Atiflash. Good luck.

I flashed my 9700pro a long while back, and unlocked it. It now OC's fine. I only use Omega's drivers, since they allow for the Smoothvision2.1 optimizations.... whatever that even helps with....

Yeah, I did the same thing Peter did, went to that 'warp11' site, found the BIOS flash for my type of memory (3.3infineon), and flashed it with ATIFLASH, very simple to do, restarted, installed Omega 'HACKED' drivers (since I gain 2000points more with the hacked), installed RadClocker and clocked my card to 353/303 (I think that's its MAX with stock everything). But ever since I removed the shim, I haven't tried OCing again, had no reason too... my card performs crazy good even with no overclock.

But when I stick the new Zalman Heatpipe on it with that big fan, I'll try to do some damage once again.
