General Information
Please keep in mind that's your own risk to flash a fully working card. I take no responsibility for any damage to hard- and/or software.
DumpBIOS 64k
DumpBIOS 64k is the tool to recover your actual BIOS flashed on the card. Before flashing a new one or simply for my help you can dump it.
Short instructions:
- Extract the ZIP-file
- Execute the executable file (Use Windows XP or below)
- A file named BIOS.BIN will be saved beside the executable file
- Rename the file, so you can identify the BIOS if you need it again
If you want to support me:
- Capture some information about the card
- Name of the card
- AGP? PCI? SGRAM? SDRAM?
- Revision printed on the PCB
- GPU/RAM-clocks
- If possible generate a hash for the BIOS-file
- Send an E-Mail with the BIOS and as much information you can find to the address you find here

Identify the card
If you are not 100% sure what card you just installed in your system or do you have a supposed defective card, it is possible to get some information.
So you can inventory the card or maybe get a chance to repair it by simply reflash the BIOS.
Here are some tools to check your graphic card.
