Alright my graphics card is a sapphire 9700 NP. Its the red card that looks identical to the Built by Ati cards. It happens to have the samsung 2.86 ns memory on it.
Well, I had a wonderful idea. I decided that since it had pro memory i would flash it with the Giga-byte 9700 PRO bios that they have on there website. The flash was successful. After the flash I uninstalled and reloaded my catylyst 3.1 drivers. Well, windows can't read the drivers for some reason, and so the card supports literally nothing. It can't do AGP xanything, it can't do any fancy features. So I decided that I would flash it with the Warp11 9700NP bios that is on the 3dchipset bios. Well I have the same problem. Windows can't get the driver to work. Arghhh, hopefully someone knows how to fix this cause if not i'm gonna be stuck with a gf3. Oh and to flash the bios i used Flashrom that comes with the gigabyte bios update d/l. Thnlks for any and all help...damn why did i destroy an awesome card .
