Hej, so i was wandering. what would happen if i flashed my HD 7950 Bios to a HD 7950 Bios that wouldn't be the same ID? I'm asking from this forum due to the problem that On the overclock forum i'm being ignored... I heard from one Forum where one guy got 2 HD 7950's and flashed them to some ATI one, that didn't have the same Device ID, One said that he did it also, but couldn't install drivers, is it true that i won't be able to install drivers then? and I'm pretty sure i have the same Gigabyte as the one who got 2 of those HD 7950's...

Cant be sure.

If its failed then ur gpu wont display anything at all and if u got iGPU u can use it to reflash.

And if u succeed but unable to install driver download this patch and install it.

I had a thread before where i asked if the card could be flashed to a HD 7970 and i was confirmed that i could, and if i screwed up anything i could just flick the bios Switch on the card and act like nothing happened.
