ATI Winflash

ATI Winflash is especially designed to help users backup, re-flash or upgrade the BIOS of their computer's ATI video card. Developed by the manufacturer itself, it is the recommended method to perform such operations.

It features a simplistic interface with a minimum set of options, which makes it rather easy to use. Despite this, it is not aimed at beginner users, considering that misuse might result in damaging the system hardware.

The application automatically scans your system to detect compatible video cards and displays all the matching hardware components within its main window, alongside detailed information about the vendor, the card name and data about its total, free and video memory.

Prior to starting a flashing operation, you are advised to create a backup of the current graphics card BIOS, just to be on the safe side of things. You do so by selecting the desired video card and pressing the 'Save' button.

ATI Winflash can also replace the current BIOS of the graphics card with a custom one, which enables you to upgrade it to a more recent version with enhanced features and fixes. This operation is just as easy: you only have to load the image to the application, make sure that all the details are accurate and press the 'Program' button.

ATI Winflash is very similar to ATIFlash, except that it offers users a more user-friendly GUI to work with, which comes in handy for those who are not familiar with the command console. It is recommended that you use it with extreme caution, in order to avoid permanent graphics card damage.
