Video BIOS

[TheMajor]

I just played Wolf:ET. Too slow. I would have to play at very low settings

What do you mean "acts weird" what exactly is it doing? You shouldn't have to update peripherals' bios ever...

Really thin lines, like vibrations, moving from the upper left corner to the right lower corner. Starting at 75Hz and it get's worse at 85Hz or higher.
I don't have it with my old card wich am using rightnow, so it's not my monitor.

yeah.. sounds like your card is going. I doubt a bios update would help you much. It's too bad.. I just sold my agp 5600 on ebay. Otherwise, I could've hooked you up with a good deal.

I have a 5600, it's an excellent midrange card. They're pretty cheap nowadays, too but I couldn't find one on Newegg, just the 5500 and 5700.

Yeah, mine was the 256 mb one also.. except it was by BFG... the Asylum!!
Sold it on ebay for about $76; I think the nice aftermarket heatsink/fan I put on it helped it sell

Is this card better than FX5200 and FX5600?
