Download TechPowerUp Radeon Bios Editor 1.20

Version 1.20 of Radeon Bios Editor was released on the TechPowerUp forum last Tuesday. This program is for ATI video cards what NiBiTor is for Nvidia video cards: the program makes it possible to adjust the bios of the video card, so that, for example, overclocking settings can be permanently written to the card. The advantage of this is that the correct settings are immediately active when the computer is switched on, so that they are independent of operating system and overclocking programs. Below you can find everything that has changed in the program since the previous entry in the Meuktracker:

Changes in version 1.20

• Added hex editor.
• Added alternative BIOS extraction method.
• (Hopefully) fixed the 3650 Device-ID bug for good.
• Fixed a bug concerning weird 4670 fan settings.

Changes in version 1.19

• Fixed a startup bug causing the main window not to show up.
• Added experimental voltage register access. RBE automatically figures out if the card’s equipped with a VT11xx. Just use register 15 for underclocking/undervolting and register 18 for overclocking. Registry tweaking will override the voltage table. Still, you should adjust your powerplay settings according to the new register values.

Changes in version 1.18

• Fixed minor file saving bug for RV730 BIOSes.
• Fixed TSlope calculation bug.
• Enabled (preliminary) support for more RV770 (and derivatives) based cards.
• Fixed “HandleOneClickUpdate” bug that occurred on several BIOSes on saving.
• Updated link to WinFlash to most recent version.
• Added some Device-IDs to now officially support those cards.

Changes in version 1.17

• Fixed the “Runtime error ‘7’: out of memory” bug at the cost of the right-aligned combo boxes for the voltages in the clock settings tab.

Changes in version 1.16

• Minor bug fix concerning voltage settings on 2900 XT and some other cards.
• Minor bug fix concerning method 2 hack.
• Fixed bug that caused RBE to crash occasionally when canceling the search for WinFlash.
• Fixed minor Acquire/Flash BIOS bug.
• Replaced EXE-packer because some virus scanners have been reported to raise false alarm for the old one.
• Fixed some minor file opening problems.
• Fixed a bug with checksum calculation. Actually, this was a bug by ATI again due to PCI standards violation. Damn, what a pain in the ass to find that glitch…
• Added option to enable the user to decide whether to write fan controller bug workaround settings or not.
• Added some device IDs (thanks to TheCow).
• Added “recent files” section in the main window’s start menu.
• Added system tray icon. God knows who will use it… :-/
• Added “-systray” parameter for RBE startup in systray mode only.
• Added option to make RBE run on windows bootup.
• Added saving the program’s window position.
• Did some GUI work to make RBE look a little cooler (hopefully). Unfortunately, RBE’s file size increased significantly because of this due to embedded libraries. I’m not sure if it is worth it so far but it enabled more cool looking features to come in the future. Here’s what has been done in particular:
• Enabled themed styles for all supported user controls.
• Added some icons to several buttons.
• Added some more or less matching icons throughout the GUI.
• Replaced voltage combo boxes by boxes that can be right-aligned.
• Replaced some scrollbars by more modern sliders.
• Replaced program icon.
