osckhar God Member Offline www.3Dfx.es Posts: 812 SPAIN Gender:	Help, BIOS DVI V5 AGP4x PROTOTYPE 11.02.05 at 09:57:28 Hi to all, Well, yesterday came in the desired package from Italy. I tried the V5 5500 DVI-OUT AGP4x PROTOTYPE and it worked perfectly, but DVI-OUT is not enabled! Any advise? Somebody can re-write the bios and activate DVI-OUT? V5 5500 DVI AGP4x PROTOTYPE (High Quality) Regards, Oscar

On more then one occasion flashing a rare card has led to a card no longer functioning at all and being unable to flash it back.

No offense, but I have to agree with Patience here.

Don't touch the BIOS, you have a history of 'wasting' alot of Cards by misflashing them (not seldomly without chance of success)...

If it's a Prototype, it is and will always be as is.
If it works at all, you're already lucky; if you want to challenge your luck further by flashing a Prototype (which is outright crazy all by itself), well.. good luck.

No problem!

(OFF TOPIC)
Perhaps I am crazy, maybe! I have 2 V4 4500 DVI . They have not the right bios, not enabled DVI-OUT. Well, right now they are working flawless with the DVI-OUT enabled. Thanks to flash the bios utilizing a prototype bios. This is bad done? Mmmmm, I think no...

@Patience,
You are IMPRESSIVE! Grin

If you are in my living room there are certain ground rules that apply since it is my home. In a manner of speaking we are are in Falconflys home and he lays out the ground rules, as is his right.

*lol*
I do have to add, though, that I do prefer some Democracy among the Boards Grin

Anyway, this is getting way off-topic, all positions towards flashing rare Cards have been presented in detail.
That should do it and conclude the off-topic discussion IMHO.

edit 1 : no democracy = tyranny

Hmm... Too good to let pass by.

No democracy = "different System"

After all, I hold no vote when I decide to delete or edit a Posting, nor would there be any vote if I was to ever delete the entire thing or Ban a User/IP/IP Range whenever I see the need to do so.

If that's automatically Tyranny, then all Forums would be places of pure Tyranny, an Admin would be consequently a dictator Wink

PS.
We should move/open that Part of the discussion into the Off-Topic area if anyone desires.

Sure, too good.
Democracy is more diversified than people think and in different systems (economic and social) but as said when no democracy, you see tyranny.

You are incorrect- The US isn't a democracy but a republic. It's refered to as a democracy all the time but isn't.

Pure democracy is mob rule, and I have seen a number of webboards reduced to rubble by people who claimed it was a democracy and could do what they pleased.

The bottom line is this board isn't a nation with a political system but a private owned and run operation and we are guests.
