Joined Sep 7, Messages 8, The Toxic edition is a top-bin video card, it should be able to flash. I was able to flash my vanilla today and it took me fifteen minutes. Have a look through this guide, it looks pretty comprehensive. KazeoHin said:. Joined Dec 20, Messages 5, The HD Toxic is not a straightforward matter to flash. The only other thing I could think of doing would be to switch from slot 2 to slot 1 with the power on, then restart according to that thread.
Otherwise, I could try a bios version form someone else's Toxic if they could PM me. Ok so this is the response I got from Sapphire: There are two bios need to flash. Bios-1 and Bios Bios2: shaders, file name: P04H8. T44 OC bios , close to fan cooler Attach file include two bios, please check.
Switch bios button before bootup and then flash it. Type comment: Atiflash -p 0 P04H8. Check this way. I've never flashed via USB before, and would appreciate some advice or a quick how-to, thanks. Aug 31, 97 0 18, 0. I plan to run crossfire, but at the moment I'm only runing 1 card.
I chose this card for variouse reasons, one of those reasons was that it was possible to Flash the card to a Now, I know that pre August; I had not found any later posts that were relavent to my query, that other owners were still able to flash the card even though the switch no longer functioned to switch for the two bioses.
Thus my question is this, can any one confirm that yes It is still possible to flash a card that was bought roughly the same time as mine? Also; if the above answer is yes, was it done on a single card system like mine?
Again if yes to the above, If I run into issues and need to flash the stock bios back onto the card, how would I go about doing that? I ask because I haven't come across any threads that realy pertain to this question, and in the few cases's were there was a "close" match, the card in question was already part of a crossfire settup.

I thought all the guides and our discussions were very clear. GPUZ makes the copy to be modded and saved. RBE modifies the bios. WinFlash is used to flash the bios. Follow the guides steps and you will be ok. Don't worry about GPUZ. If the card is working you did not hurt it.
So try flashing the bios as recommended. Through a bit more searching I found that Techpowerup has a bios editing software utility that can be used to "attempt" to unlock the shaders. Jul 16, 9, 6 31, Mar 14, 0 18, 2.
I am not sure about the asus models. Mastervivi10 Distinguished. Jun 6, 0 18, 7. Just go the safe route and OC it wit out unlocking it. Three weeks ago I unlocked the shadders on a non reference HIS So yes it is still possible to do the mod.
It was done on a single card system also. Please understand that the mod. There are other differences the bios mod. If you see a shader count of , your GPU-Z version is outdated. The "Testing" section of this article has more data on that. Check stability in Windows desktop applications and games. If you get an error like ID mismatch or Could not erase ROM, then you'll have to do some extra work in a Windows command prompt or DOS : Run atiwinflash -unlockrom 0 followed by atiwinflash -f -p 0 bios.
Update: I have uploaded a pack of all the files required together with some batch files to ease the process for less experienced users. You can download it here , please report success or any issues with the scripts in the comments for this article. Feel free to post in the discussion thread for this article if you need additional assistance with the flashing process.
Testing We can see that enabling the shaders without any clock increases improves performance. Once the clock speeds are adjusted to match the HD , the card effectively performs just as well as a full blown Radeon HD We see that even when modded, the HD at HD shaders and clocks runs into the PowerTune limit earlier than the regular HD which results in reduced power draw but also reduced performance in Furmark.
The tool consists of ATIWinflash 2. However, this unlocking method has one major drawback — you can not change GPU voltage using different overclocking tools. This tool was created by a well-known, among hardware enthusiasts, person W1zzard. This man has put a lot of effort for development of overclocking community. He is the one responsible for creating tools like GPU-z and many more. And now, W1zzard has presented yet another useful tool..
