only for certain card holders

this update is only for sapphire HD4870 512MB DDR5 with PN: 188-01E85-001SA // SKU#:11133-00-XXR

there is a known issue for those cards.
check on the box for your part number (writen on a green patch)
if its PN: 188-01E85-001SA // SKU#:11133-00-XXR
than your default bios should be VER011.006.000.003.000000 (can be reveled with GPU-Z)
this is a buggy bios since on low graphic games the gpu tries to lower the clock rate which crash your PC
you would probbly c alot of squeres like corduray effect of some kind
in that case you should go to the link above and upgrade your bios
preferably in dos mode (use a bootable cd/flash drive)

cheers
