    I am looking for an GPU BIOS editor that will recognise the 6970M correctly so I can modify the clocks permanently.

    I have tried RBE from tech powerup, but it does not seem to fully compatible, so I am hesitant to flash my card after I use this editor, as it may screw my card over?

    Anyone used any particualr editor with the 6970M yet with success?

    Works fine with RBE_128. Too bad there's no way to change the voltage....

    Sweet, sounds good. When I used parts of RBE it didn't seem to like it when I ask it to flash the card (button). Does it have to be done from DOS?

    There are no drop down selectors for voltages, but you can type in your own values. Were you able to change the voltages without problems on the battery clocks?
    As for the clocks, there is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 which one did you end up editing?

    I have been testing when plugged in and pushing the limits with a software overclock. I have back off for a stable 812 core / 1133 mem

    I am now trying to flash the bios. RBE has this feature grayed out, and when I downloaded ATIWinflash it start and then says Cannot erase ROM.
    How do I flash the BIOS?
