    Hello everyone, does anyone knows a program to edit amd hd 7970m's vbios? I've been search in everywhere and I can't seem to find one that works. My laptop is a Clevo P150EM. Thanks in advance.

    When you say it wont work what exactly happens? There were issues flashing a modified BIOS in the EM, back when I had one I would flash the card in a backup machine.

    I saved the bios with gpu-z, which I'm used to do it, but since I got this one with amd, I think things are different. For example, with Radeon bios editor (one of the firsts I used), the program reads just fine and I could save the modified bios. When comes the time to flash, I read online to use atiwinflash, but always shows me "error on reading bios"

    Yes I think that's because the EM was locked on flashing edited bios files on DOS ATIFLASH. I think you might need to use atiwinflash?

    Then you may be stuck unless you find a workaround from that time.
