I checked the Sapphire website this morning and saw there was a updated bios for the newly released Radeon HD 4670.The link is here->http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/support/drivers.php question i have is could someone help me with installing this bios i see the file includes atiflash in with it.this is what is listed next to the file P/N:188-0BE88-001SA;SKU#11138-00 ONLY(Please update under DOS prompt and type command:F BE8801SA.017.Could someone give me a quick rundown on how i run this using atiflash.And what exactly they mean by the statement above.Hopefully this thread will help other sapphire hd 4670 owners not knowing about the new bios.Thank you for your time

 

Did you ever install this? I was going to today but noticed the bios is not available anymore... odd.

 

Yeah i installed it and everything is working perfectly no idea why it was dropped from the site.Maybe it will pop back up again soon or they are working on another one who knows.The new bios was dated 9/12/08 i saw and the old one was 8/20/08.I still have the file if your interested i can email it to you or anyone else.

 

@evotuner
I see you have a 4670 ati but what is your power supply unit because i want to buy one too

 

Yeah, that would be great if you could send it over. I'll PM you my email.

 

boot to dos first get to a prompt (a:/) Insert floppy with atiflash and bios file on it.

type without quotes and brackets "atiflash -f -p 0 <bios file with extension>

 

My Power supply is a thermaltake 450.And i do have this bios zipped and ready to go for whoever needs it just send me a pm:banana:

 

what is this BIOS update for? and does it apply to HD4870's?

 

It only applies to the Sapphire HD 4670 512mb GDDR3.Sapphire was even specific on the PN 188-0BE88-001SA SKU#11138-00-20.From what i saw when i flashed it the ssid changed as well as going from RV730 to RV730XT.They were not specific on what exactly was included in the update.But the bios is dated 9/12/08 and the original one on my card was 8/20/08.

 

evo did you receive my PM? Didn't get an email from you so I was just wondering.

I emailed Sapphire about why the Bios was removed but haven't received a response yet.

 

Yes i sent it my email is evotuner06@hotmail.com.
I just forwarded it to you again let me know if you receive it.

 

LoL finally sapphire has realized 8.9 dont have 4670 support.They have posted (There are currently no drivers available for this product!) under 4670 section.

 

does anone know if this flashi of the GPU bios can be done through MS-DOS prompt?

I know the manual says pure DOS mode, but I can't get into pure dos mode as I have Vista, and no Floppy drive.

Anyone know another way to get into DOS without using a flopy and with a RAID setup?

:bang:

 

If you have a usb flash drive laying around this link will get you going http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57750

 

thanks evotuner

 

Could I ask anyone here that has the latest bios to upload a copy so I could get it or just email it whatever is easiest.

I had posted a thread to do with a couple of concerns with my card and would like to give the new bios a shot.

Thanks in advance.

 

Up :d

 

Checked the above link out, thanks Alessio

 

If someone with the bios could please upload it somewhere I would be very happy.

It's still missing from Sapphires site and I really need it. The original bios doesn't play nice with RBE.
