Hey guys i've got a question on restoring my 5970 cards to factory settings so i can flog them on eBay. The cards were running with altered gpu/memory and voltage frequencies until i pulled my rig apart and they have sat idle for several months. I have put the rig back together and i believe that these settings would still be stored in the BIOS of the cards.

In the AMDOverdriveCtrl application i have found where i can adjust these values again, however it is asking me for three sets of values, one for each Low, Mid and High levels. Is this the right settings i should be adjusting?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think the values are stored in a Linux boot script and not on the card.

My evidence for this is that I've underclocked so much that Linux failed to start after rebooting.
I recovered the situation by re-burning the OS back onto the memory stick and this reset the values.

Nothing is stored on the card unless you flashed the bios.

Just dig up the bootable DOS GPU flasher and flash a standard 5970 bios. There is a separate bios for GPU 0 and GPU 1
