Default Special HD 7970 BIOS - 02-21-2012, 18:58 | posts: 401

Hi guys,

Here comes a special HD 7970 BIOS, only works with ref. HD 7970.

It has higher CCC limit, up to 2000MHz, enjoy it!

P.S. Do not flash it if you dont know what it is. I am not responsible for any damage because of it.

it will work with all reference cards
i'm sure you know this already but an aftermarket cooling card doesn't always equal to a non ref card, they can still use the ref PCB and that's what he was hinting at by knowing how to identify them

sapphire is the usually king at remaking cards from the same pcb thats why they sold so many (unlockables) 6950s

Sorry, there is nothing new in a while we know that you can flash the BIOS of 7970, in my case I have the XFX 1000/1425MHz.
