Ok mayb the cat reinstalls would work. This is with windows not even seeing the card right?

I use this one! Works on all 4870x2's! Works great for me

Also, guide to flash, not to hard! Get this

Load the first bios, and then flash one at the time, without rebooting between them! If it won't flash, put force flash! 0 is for gpu1 and 1 is for gpu2

have fun

I tried adding the Dark Knight to my HIS x2 and I got it all there but I noticed a decrease in performance. Did you see the same or was there an increase for you guys?

Those are the DX-11 GPU's.

The DFI boards are buggers to get working is this fashion. Grunion got it working but had issues.

Perhaps he can pipe in with his results.

yea, my CPU hit 3.7ghz barrier on that DFI, occasionally got BSOD for no reason (certainly not from RAM or CPU OC)
i was going to replace it with another board, but i think i'll wait for the next big jump to new platform instead.

last night i ran another OC attempt on my 4870x2, this time i got it running at 800/1000 with no problem at all..... geez.... confused
