Possibly the last batch of custom Fiji BIOS


And here is the most likely final batch of custom BIOS. Now including a BIOS for the Fury Nitro and a newer version of the Fury X BIOS which should be better than the old version.

The BIOSs offer raised power limit and a 3D load voltage of 1.3V. This leads to better overclocking capabilities and better performance than the stock BIOSs running similar amounts of voltage in Trixx/Afterburner/GPUTweak. The power limits on all the BIOSs are 400W and 350A you should not need to raise the power limits but can if you wish to do so. The newer Fury X BIOS is based of the latest AMD provided BIOS and seems to clock better than the last one I made but I haven't fully tested it yet(it is safe to use).

Here is  a download link for them: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v18py3rhbef8rmx/ProFijiBIOSs.zip?dl=0

In other news I've done a quick test run of Firestrike with 2 cards and the results are looking promising. The cards aren't fully finished but at this rate I should be able to break 40K graphics some time soon. With some work on the 5960X I can probably get into the top 20 for 3Dmark Firestrike on HWbot. Currently I'm number 65 on the Firestrike rankings for 2 cards. Here's a link to the score: http://hwbot.org/submission/3185463_ 

Mind you I got that score with 0 artifacts so there was still some room in the cards left to push it but it was 3AM and I got the results I wanted to see. Also the 5960X was only 100mhz above my daily OC since I wanted to test the GPUs not mess around with CPU stability issues. Once I have everything working 100% I will be live streaming the overclocking sessions. I'm coming for you 3 way TITAN-Xs and once I'm done they will rename Firestrike to Furystrike.
MFW I get 38.8K GPU score in Firestrike

Also for those of you who watch the youtube channel do not worry. I have not forgot about you, there will be content soon I promise.

R9 Fury Unlocking Simplified

As you probably already know it is possible to unlcok the R9 Fury from it's normal 3584 stream processor to 3776 processor, 3840 processor or even 4096 processors at which point it's basically a Fury X.

This guide is a simplification of this guide. When I was doing the process for the first time it took me close to an hour to get through it all. So this is my take on how to make the guide simpler.


First of all download this file  (dropbox mirror) and python 2(Python 3 does not work!). The filecontains all the programs and scripts that you need to unlock your Fury. You need Python to run one of the applications that makes flashing possible.
I hope that none of the software creators have a problem with me putting everything together and re-uploading it. If you do you can just leave a comment and I'll take it down again.

Unzip the folder to where ever you want. Then go to the folder CUinfo and run the program "cuinfo16".
And you'll get to see something like this:
If the last line says something like "X CUs are disabled by HW lock, override is possible at your own risk." You can try flash the card.

In order to flash the card first go into the ATiFlash folder and run the script called "BackupBIOS". This will create a file called: FuryBIOS.rom. Copy and paste this file(DO NOT CUT AND PASTE! THIS IS YOUR WORKING VANILLA BIOS IF THINGS GO SOUR YOU WILL NEED IT!) to the AtomTool folder. Then go back to ATiFlash rename the FuryBIOS.rom to FuryBIOS1.rom and then flip the BIOS switch on the top edge of your Fury. Now run the "BackupBIOS" script again. Once it's done flip your BIOS switch back to it's original position. Now go into the AtomTool folder and run the "makeroms" script. This will creat 3 files called:
3776spBIOS.rom
3840spBIOS.rom
4096spBIOS.rom

Copy these to the ATiFlash folder and run the script called "Flash XXXXSP BIOS" the XXXX stands for how many cores will be unlocked. First run the 3776 core script then restart the computer and check using GPU-z that you now have 3776 cores. If you do stress test the GPU by playing some games or running a stress test. If it's stable you can run the "Flash 3840SP BIOS" script. Then do the same that you did to check that the 3776 BIOS worked. If it does great and you can run the "Flash 4096SP BIOS" script. Then check that it worked the same way you check that the 3776SP and 3840SP BIOS worked.

If at any point the GPU is not stable just go into the ATiFlash folder and run the script that applies the previous BIOS that worked using the corresponding script. If the 4096SP BIOS didn't work flash the 3840SP BIO. If the 3840SP BIOS didn't work flash the 3776SP BIO. If the 3776SP BIOS didn't work run the "Flash Backup BIOS" script.

If the system fails to boot up after a BIOS flash flip the BIOS switch on your R9 Fury and boot up. Once windows is loaded flip the BIOS switch back to the broken BIOS and flash the last working BIOS the same way I explained in the previous paragraph.
