    I just installed a 5870m and having inverted like multicolors even after updating drivers. I've read that it could be a bios issue and having to revert to A00....is this in reference to my mobo bios or the GPU bios? Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!!

    Did some digging, flashed the vbios to A00 and it worked fine.
