Any suggestions?  I have the XFX 7970 Black Edition.

The card works, albeit, much more slowly than I am wanting but I can't flash to upgrade.

I used the rufus boot and when I use
 C:> ATIFLASH -F -P 0 s.rom
I get the response below.   (I might have used more -f flags when the simple one didn't work.)

Old SSID: 3211
New SSID: 3000
Old P/N: 113-797ATDBV32_111215SZ
New P/N: 113-2104XTHY-OB5
Old DeviceID: 6798
New DeviceID: 6798
Old Product Name: Tahiti B0 CR XT C38601 GDDR5 3GB 500e/150m
New Product Name: Tahiti B0 XT GDDR5 3GB 500e/150m
Old BIOS Version: 015.022.000.004.000000
New BIOS Version: 015.025.000.099.000000
Flash type: Unknown SPI

Write fail
0/20000h bytes programmed

Any ideas?  Also what's weird is that when I started I tried to save the ROM and the info says it's 40000 in length not 20000 in length like the replacement is.

Hi

I am new here i also have the XFX Hd 7970 Black Edition 1000/1425 reference cards. 3 of them to be exact, and i am just in the beginning stages of building my very first mining Rig
I have understood these cards dont hash that great, so me too I am looking for the correct BIOS to flash them with.

I did a quick search on the "NEW BIOS" that you were trying to flash with, and I find that that bios "015.025.000.099.000000" belongs to a HD 7950 card
I dont know if that maybe is a reason for your write miss match, or maybe it is intentional. Are you suppossed to reflash the 7970 to a 7950??

If i find any sollution to my 3 cards i will post here. If anyone out there allready has a sollution,i would greatly appreciate a hint in here:)

Thank you
