HELP please what i have to do
i had the same problem. try to flash using -f option ( force ).
ALWAYS KEEP APART A BOOT FLOPPY WITH YOUR ORIGINAL BIOS !
it could happen that the bios does not fit ( quicker memories ), and you'll see lots of flashing lines on the screen, while windows starts normally.
Beautiful, but not useful :)

Gecube R9550GT-C3H

Im new here, but im always read all ur post here due to wide spread of oveclocking of r9550, and i already buy an ATI radeon 9550GT-C3H from Gecube and throw my old VC (fx5500), my ATItool detected my r9550GT as follows

Device ID: 4152
Chip:RV360,9600 series
Memory: 128mb
Memory bus width: 128 bit
Default core clock: 400
Defualt memory clock: 200
active pipe lines: 4

My Question here is Gecube overcloked its line of R9550 by changing the bios? since my PC detected my new VC as 9600 series GPU?

I already overclocked my GPU to max core clocked of 540mhz and 270 memory clocked w/o any problem specialy on the games like far cry, doom3 and i dont encounter any problem (high detail).

Pls reply???

hi
I flashed my asus a9550 ge/td 256 with ati 9600 pro bios, and it worked, but after that i tried to use a modified version of that bios (I used radedit to do that) to be an asus 9600... but when I rebooted the pc I haven't got any signal... can I solve this using a pci card and flashing again to ati 9600 or asus 9550 bios? tnx in advance

yes you should be able to use that bios but first you will need to open your curent one and the new one (9600se) in a program called rabit

then edit the memory speed and timeings to match the origional (9550) bios

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Video-Tweak/ATi-Radeon-BIOS-Tuner.shtml

make shure that all the timeings match your origional bios otherwise it may not work :(

by the way you need a pci video card incase it goes wrong ;)
