techbear Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Good to hear that your issues are solved!It's easy, the best method is using a DOS bootable USB stick with ATIflash on it, then boot from this stick and when the command prompt appears just type in "atiflash -s 0 orig6970.rom" (without the quotes) and it will safe a copy to the stick. This is a read-only process, so you don't have to worry about your GPU. I don't think the two cards have different VBIOS files on them, but you should be able to backup the second VBIOS as well, with "atiflash -s 1 6970m2.rom", though I'm not 100% sure whether this works, never had the chance to play around with a dual card system.There's also an easier method to do this, but there are slight chances of corrupting the VBIOS backup file when doing it this way: Open GPU-Z and click on the little IC symbol at the very right of the "BIOS version" line.Ok it appears that my gpu bios is older then some others:Standard version:BIOS date/time: 12/14/10, 17:33:BIOS version string: 113-C29604-101AtomBios version: ATOMBIOSBK-ATI VER013.010.000.009.039462My version:BIOS date/time: 12/13/10,14:49:BIOS version string: 113-C29604-101AtomBios version: ATOMBIOSBK-ATI VER013.010.000.009.039364If anyone is interested in the "older version" and in my case stabler - see attached.6970bios.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbear Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Also please note that the bios did not fix my aero crashing as I first thought - running WEI crashed it on the first run - will have to wait for update On Screen Display files though.

svl7 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hm, hope you get this solved. Did you already try a complete fresh installation of Windows?Thanks for the VBIOS, I'll check it out, maybe I already have this version somewhere...

Yup the tearing is gone for good ! only aero bug remains, but it is really no big deal as long as I can play games without any issues I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
