ewood Distinguished Mar 6, 2009 463 0 18,810 Nov 9, 2011 #2 it is a non reference board so i would proceed with caution. here's an example of people trying and ending up with dead cards: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151162 doesnt mean it cant be done but its risky. if you could figure out if there is a HIS 6970 that uses the same PCB and components then you should be able to flash your card with that 6970 bios, but a bios intended for a reference card wont work.
