    Hi guys,

    Is it possible to flash a firepro card to its radeon counterparts? Back in the days this was possible with the fx770->9600m GT.

    I now have a M2000 and would like to use it more for gaming :)

    I am very curious!

    Just instal radeon drivers. In my experience on gaming on firepros during last 3 years there was no benefit in doing that.

    Don't know how it is with the new cards but M8900 to 6970m and the other way around works just fine. Do it under DOS, trust me on this and it's not that hard. If you can make autoexec file good, if you can't - stopwatch your way around, you might need it if you have to blind-flash your stock BIOS. Good luck!

    There's not that much difference to be honest. There is the other way around.

    This means blind flashing a vbios right? Will make a usb stick that will auto flash in case **** happens
