Finding The Right BIOS Images

Here is the list of Radeon 9800 cards and their corresponding FireGL X2 versions. I can only provide you a few BIOS images for downloading. You can try to look for other FireGL BIOS images from sites like http://www.ocfaq.com/.

For your convenience, the official clock speeds (core/memory) in MHz have been posted next to each card. For example, (380/350) means a core clock of 380MHz and a memory clock of 350MHz.

If you don't want to overclock your card or if your card cannot run at 380MHz core and 350MHz memory, you can edit the FireGL X2-128 BIOS image to adjust the clock speeds. If your card can run at those clock speeds, then flashing the standard BIOS image to this card shouldn't be a problem.

I only have a Tyan FireGL X2-128 BIOS image for you to download. Please note that it is only for Radeon 9800 SE cards that come with Samsung memory.

If you are modding a Radeon 9800 SE with 64MB memory or a Radeon 9800 SE with a 128-bits memory bus, you will need to edit the BIOS image using RaBiT before flashing it to your card.

* Note : The FireGL X2-128 does not actually exist!

Let's start with the original Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB using the R350 core. The Tyan FireGL X2-128* BIOS image will work on these cards without any problems. I successfully flashed my own Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro into a FireGL X2-128* using this BIOS image.

The newer Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB cards using the R360 core can be flashed to FireGL-X2-128*. However, this card can also be flashed into the FireGL X2-128t* because it comes with the R360 core. The letter "t" behind the name FireGL X2 basically designates the newer FireGL X2 cards using the R360 core.

But again, you will need the hacked BIOS images in order to do this. That's because the 128MB FireGL X2 does not exist!
