-2009.3.5 修改ATI顯卡BIOS需要Radeon Bios Editor，我翻譯了裡面的FAQ（常見問題）放於下面。水平有限，很多都是“意譯”，並且是自己理解的意譯，肯定有很多不對之處，請對照英文原文看。 FAQ - Frequently asked questions
常見問題 Q: Why do I get three dashes instead of a number in some of the 'voltage' boxes?
A: Those voltages are 'fused', as ATI calls it. I suppose this means that it's the driver that sets these voltages. However, you can just leave this as it is or you can overwrite the dashes with any numeric value you like.
問：為什麼在一些電壓框裡是三根底線而不是數字？
答: 按ATI說，這些電壓是上了保險的。我猜這是讓驅動程式設定這些電壓，可以不管或用你喜歡的數字替代它。（不過建議還是不要改，除非顯卡廢了隨時有錢買過）。 Q: Why can't I use commas in the value boxes? For example, I'd like to set 1,2 volt in state 3.
A: This is often asked by german users. Remind that in english speaking countries the dot is used instead of a comma, so using a dot will work fine here. For example, just enter '1.2' instead of '1,2' (without the inverted commas respectively).
問：為什麼在電壓框不能使用逗號？比如，要用1,2V。
答：通常是德國使用者問這個問題。。。。。。。(德國用逗號作小數點，無語。。) Q: What's that 'BIOS had been pre-modified using RBE' checkbox for?
A: Just FYI. With RBE v1.08, you can finally load BIOS files modified using RBE before. However, it is strongly recommended to modify original BIOS files only. Sometimes, this checkbox raises false alarm. In those cases, the BIOS file doesn't fulfill some conventions. You don't need to worry about that.
問：'BIOS had been pre-modified using RBE'（’BIOS 已被RBE修改過了的’）檢查框是幹啥用的？
答：僅供參考。RBEv1.08後都可以載入之前有RBE修改過的BIOS檔案。不過，強烈建議僅修改原始BIOS檔案。有時，此檢查框會弄出錯誤警告，這樣，BIOS檔案就不能實現某些規定。你無需擔心這個。 Q: What states/modes do I have to change to get a nice and creamy overclocking experience?
A: Depends on what card you have. As a rule of thumb, it should be a good idea to increase the values that are 'high' already. For example, consider you have a 3870 and load your BIOS into RBE. You may find yourself facing some slots viewing 300 MHz, 777 MHz and maybe also some viewing 700 MHz (for GPU clock respectively). Even though the 777 MHz will be the clocks interesting for 3D applications, it can be a good idea to set the 700 MHz slots to the increased value of you choice also. Especially if you experience problems with overclocking like not applying OC-values during 3D fullscreen applications. Furthermore, sometimes it is necessary to reinstall you video card driver after flashing your BIOS.
問：我要怎樣調整來獲得最好的超頻體驗？（無厘頭的意譯）
答：取決於你的顯卡。憑經驗，增加已經是“高”的值是不錯的主意。譬如說，假如你有片3870，用RBE載入了BIOS，你會看到一些顯示300MHz、777MHz或者700MHz的框框（都指的是GPU時鐘頻率）。儘管777MHz對3D程式來說更有趣，但把700MHz改到777MHz挺不錯的，特別是你遇到過超頻的值沒有在運行3D全屏程式中應用上時。此外，有時需要在重新整理BIOS後重裝顯卡驅動。 Q: What's that fan settings stuff?
A: For most 3xx0-cards, you can modify the settings controlling the built-in automatic transfer function controlling the fan. Alternatively, you can modify the look up table values. The graph always showes how changed values affect the fan curve. For any further information, just use the hints in the fan settings tab. If you are using look up table mode, note that you can enter any thresholds you like (from 0 to 120 °C, values far beyond 100 °C shouldn't be too useful) and for the fan speed any value from 0 to 100%.
問：什麼是風扇設定？
答：對於3xx0系列的顯卡，可以修改控制顯卡風扇的內建自動調節函數。作為選擇之一，修改尋找表的值，圖表會隨時顯示修改值對風扇曲線的影響。擷取更多的資訊，看風扇設定頁面的提示。如果你使用尋找表模式，可以輸入任何喜歡的值（從0到120°C，高於100°C的值沒什麼用，這個不用說了吧，顯卡都燒壞了，有什麼用呢。。），風扇轉速從0到100%。 Q: In RBE's info tab, there are some boxes for displaying RAM amount, type, interface and video card interface. My card's RAM amount and interface are not displayed properly. In fact, there is nothing displayed for RAM amount and interface at all. Why? Is that a problem, maybe an indicator that my BIOS is not fully supported?
A: This should be no problem. Some BIOSes simply do not contain the RAM amount and interface used for information. On boot up, the BIOS program does some trial and error to find out about these values, but this is impossible by just loading (i.e. not RUNNING) the BIOS. Don't worry: This is only an optical issue and will not affect any of RBE's functions at all.
問：在RBE的資訊頁面中有些框框顯示顯存數量、類型、位寬和顯卡介面這些資訊的。我顯卡的顯存數量、位寬沒有正確顯示。其實，根本就沒有顯示顯存數量和位寬。為什嗎？是不是個問題呢，是否說不完全支援我的BIOS？
答：這個沒問題。有些BIOS沒儲存有顯存數量和位寬。啟動時，BIOS程式做一些測試來擷取這些值，單單讀取BIOS（非運行）是沒法擷取這些數值的。不要擔心：這僅是個小問題，一點都不影響RBE正常的功能。 Q: Can RBE remove the 862 MHz lock of my 3850/3870?
A: This 'lock' is not even a lock in terms of a limited overclocking regulation at all. It's more of a programming error in early versions of the BIOS code itself. Thus, this 'lock' can't be unlocked by a simple patch. The BIOS needs to be completely rewritten, so the only way to remove that lock is to download a more recent version of a BIOS suitable for your video card. See the Techpowerup.com VGA database for this. However: Overclocking to more than 862 MHz using RBE (not by software tools using overdrive) seems to be possible. But I need more testing on that. If you wish to try, feel free to do so and drop me a line if it worked.
問：RBE可否移去我3850/3870對862MHz的鎖定？
答：此“鎖定”不算一個鎖定（亂譯）。它只是早期BIOS版本的一個設計錯誤。因此，此“鎖定”不能由簡單的修改來解鎖，BIOS需要重新寫過才行，所以唯一的方法就是下載一個對應你顯卡的最新版本BIOS來替代它，到Techpowerup.com的VGA資料庫中尋找。無論如何：用RBE（非軟體工具）超頻到高於862MHz是有可能的，但我要進行更多的實驗（老外真負責啊，寫軟體不說，還買顯卡來燒，好有技術又有錢啊！！），如果你決議要實驗，放心去吧，成功了要告訴我一聲哦。 Q: I can't gain any more overclocking headroom by increasing the voltage. Why? What's the maximum safe voltage setting?
A: You can enter 1000 volts to these slots if you want. Well, you shouldn't. It depends on the card, what it makes of it. There are cards that seem to not have a changeable voltage transformer at all, but most cards transformers will limit at about 1.4 volts. RBE correctly programmes the BIOS to set the voltage entered, but due to hardware limitation, this might not be enough. You need to convince yourself using a multimeter to be sure about your voltages. Use google to find out how. If you reached the hardware limit, a hardware mod like the famous 'pencil mod' (many tuturials can be found in the internet) is inevitable.
問：我無法從電壓提高中獲得更大的超頻空間。為什嗎？最大的安全電壓是哪個？
答：你可以輸入1000V到框框中，如果你瘋了的話。最高電壓取決於顯卡。有些顯卡好像不能改變電壓，但大多數都限制在1.4V左右。RBE會正確更改輸入的值，但限於硬體，可能不正確，最好手頭有萬用表測試下，用google找找方法。如你遇到硬體瓶頸，好像“鉛筆大法”的硬體修改（很多方法都在internet上找得到）是不可避免的。（這老外真有趣，看來他幹過不少，用萬用表測顯卡電壓，好，怎麼我沒想到過呢？？哈哈） Q: Are you certain I can modify my 3870 X2 BIOS using RBE? I heard rumors about problems with it.
A: Yes, you can alter a 3870 X2 BIOS. Due to this card actually has 2 boards with 2 BIOSes, you have to flash the exact same BIOS file to both of the boards. I don't know if this can be done using WinFlash, but I'm certain ATIFlash can do the job!
問：你肯定我可以用RBE修改3870 X2 的BIOS？我聽到一些問題謠言。
答：是的，可以修改3870 X2 的BIOS。由於這顯卡實際有兩塊板子和兩個BIOS，你要刷相同的BIOS到兩塊板子上。我不清楚WinFlash能否刷成功，但肯定ATIFlash能刷。 Q: The displayed Tslope in the fan tab sometimes doesn't match the value I am sure to be programmed into the BIOS after loading it. I checked it twice using RivaTuner. Why?
A: RivaTuner properly displayes the programmend value. However, this programmed value sometimes doesn't make sense. RBE calculates the Tslope accurately matching the Tmin/Tmax-settings programmed. So, this value sometimes differs.
問：重新載入BIOS看到風扇頁面顯示的Tslope數值和我刷到BIOS的不同，我用RivaTuner檢查了幾次的。為什嗎？
答：RivaTuner正確顯示了刷入的值。因為有時修改的值不合理，RBE自動計算Tslope來匹配Tmin/Tmax。因而不同。 Q: What's with the sub vendor and video card ID?
A: With RBE, you can change the vendor of your video card (the actual board; the chip comes from ATI, of course). So if you like your card reporting to be produced by 3DFX, you can set it. Also, if you like your 2900 pro reporting to be a 3870 X2, you can do it. Please note that after changing a vendor, your display driver needs to be reinstalled.
Changing the video card type is highly dangerous and not recommended! Reinstalling video card driver is necessary as well, but the driver will detect the card wrongly of course and install a not matching driver. So, please play around with this powerful setting if you really know what you're doing only!
問：廠商和顯卡ID有什麼用？
答：用RBE可以修改顯卡廠商（只是板卡，晶片還是ATI的，此點無疑）。如果你喜歡3DFX，可修改之。同樣，喜歡2900 pro被認為3870 X2，可修改之。要說的是，修改廠商後要重裝驅動。
修改顯卡類型是高危險和不推薦的做法！！不僅要重裝驅動，驅動會認錯顯卡而裝錯驅動。只有在你真的知道你在幹什麼時再改這個極具威力的設定。（高危動作，為了顯卡乃至人身安全，不要玩這個吧） Q: The BIOS checksum displayed in RBE sometimes differs from the one displayed in WinFlash. Why?
A: This is a well known error in WinFlash. As you can convince yourself with almost any hex editor, the checksum displayed by RBE is the correct one. WinFlash simply doesn't use the whole file as a basis for its calculation but only the portion of the file that's reported as the file's size inside the file. Because 4870 BIOSes are 128 kB in size and the size is often reported wrongly here, WinFlash will display rubbish. RBE will capture this issue for you, however. There should be no need to worry about this.
問：RBE顯示的BIOS校正和有時與WinFlash顯示的不同，為何？
答：這是周知的WinFlash錯誤（RBE的牛X作者怎會出錯呢，豈有此理！）。你可用任何可信的hex編輯器（十六進位編輯器）來判定，RBE是正確的！。。。。。。（後面不譯了） |
