Add the commands -f -p to your atiflash, so for example "atiflash -f -p 0 new.rom".

Sorry to the OP for getting a bit off topic. Does it matter what order you put the -F and -P? I have really had majoor issues trying to flash my Sapphire and I always put it like this: atiflash -p -f 0 new.bin . Using both the Asus TOP and the newer Sapphire the card will work until the second boot and then it just bricks. I have so far been able to revive it with the stock bios but I am now real reluctant to try anymore.

The order doesn't matter. Is your card a reference design HD 4850, or a factory overclocked one? Some of the factory overclocked ones don't play well with a reference BIOS. Or vice versa some most of the reference design cards will brick if flashed with a BIOS that was created for a non-reference designed card.

Both are reference 4870's. The first one came with the 750/900 bios and the second one came with an 800/1100. BUt both are just plain Sapphire 4870's, neither are an o/c version. But both will run 850/1200 with out problems in C/F
