    Hello,

    I just recently got a pair of 4850M GPUs and have spent quite a while looking on-line for the master vBIOS for said cards. Does anyone have a copy they can share a link to? They are going into an Area 51 m17x-R1 (pre-dell alienware). But if anyone can share their Master card vBIOS, I'd like to see this project come to fruition.

    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    I'm going to try VisciousXUSMC's modded vBIOSes for the ASUS W90. It used the 4870s, but is the same M98 chipset. Just have to get this all set in there and give it the flash and go from there. If it doesn't work granyte, I'll ask you for your modded vBIOSes. Thanks.
