Flash your FX5900 to a FX5950U! - Page 9

11th January 2004, 12:19

the Gigabyte Fx 5900xt and MSI FX 5900SP models work 1 of 3, so flash them at your own risk... -> tested. Its the ram's fault -> 2.8ns

It worked.
My card is X-Micro 5900

used the gainward generic BIOS found here

Well i've just done me Leadtek A350 Ultra THd Vivo 256mb, and it now reads as a FX5950 Ultra, flashing went smoothly, but i would like to know what other peoples core and memory clock frequency's are with the same card, as mine are now 300/950mhz

Gopher04 i have the same card as you and i flashed my card and updated the BIOS. What BIOS version number are you reading under the geforce 5950 tab under display properties?

4.35.20.32? If its different to this what files did you use when flashing/updating the BIOS?

Any help appreciated.

Hi 0raclé, bios no. is 4.35.20.32.00 this is under the adapter tab in display properties..what are your clock frequencies now?

11th January 2004, 13:12

The default clock settings are now 475Mhz & 950Mhz under 3D performance. Standard 2D performance defaults: 300Mhz & 950Mhz.

Why i asked about what BIOS version you have is cos i don't think its worked properly. The BIOS version should be 4.35.30.32
for the A380 BIOS the file we downloaded and re-named. Heres the Link:

Once i got my PC to think it had a A380 Ultra i tryed to update it with that BIOS file but it doesn't work.

hej revo2001

You need to use wfflash instead of nvflash. i got the same problems as you when i used nvflash. You don't have to use the X-editor when you flash with wfflash.
