Founder Michael Posted December 26, 2015 Founder Share Posted December 26, 2015 Helping a friend restore his pre-dell alienware M17x-R1 that one : The note got two ATI 3870 cards. The master card went bye bye, it still boots with it but with tons of artefacts. I need a way to dump the master vbios and write it to the slave card so that we can use the slave as master. What tools do i need to do that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans123 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Hello, This should be the right vbios for your slave card to run as primary card. But i can't guarantee it! http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/109727/alienware-hd3870x2mobility-512-080829.html Edited January 13, 2016 by hans123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
