Ok, so I am about to be back home full time from my last job and I am looking to upgrade my card, so I thought, before I do that I want to see what I can get out of this one....Only one problem...I DL the ATI BIOS (the ones that fix the 862MHz wall) and try to flash, but I end up getting a "SubsystemID Mismatch". Now I did search Google and found a few ways to fix this....Sadly none of them work for me. When I look at my BIOS file it shows "0x1092 - Diamond" (I have a Diamond card) and the one I am trying to flash with has "0x1002 - ATI" So I changed this to match the 1092....Still doesn't work. GPU-Z though says device ID as 1002 though. I am at a loss here. Any ideas?
 
your using a reference design bios on a non reference design card most likely so the numbers/hardware are not matching which isnt allowing you to flash the card.. but thats just my educated guess..
 
This brings back memories. I had to track down a modified bios for my non reference card.

What's the make and model# of your card?
 
It's the DIAMOND Viper 3870PE4512SB.

WinFlash, it's the only one that will work in Vista x64 that I have used.
 
No, it doesn't work in x64, I get the "not compatible with the version of windows" error.

It's also not about the over clock, it's just about seeing what the card will do over all.
