Q: 7800 GTX 512MB ROM??

Hello folks!

 

I just scored a nice 7800 GTX 512MB off ebay for a whopping $27. Of course Id love to flash this and pop it in my quad G5.

Problem is, the only two 512mb ROMS I found both dont work...

 

I got them both from here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1552556

 

One of them will give me a slightly readable display that is partially ghosted and has lines in it, and the other rom gives me an unreadable screen with squiggly lines all in it like colored "snow" on TV when theres no signal.

 

That being said, I noticed when I was using nvflash, nvflash saw my gtx as a "GT" when one of the ROMS flashed which nvflash saw as "GTX" in the ROM file itself, yet the other one after flashing properly showed my gpu as a GTX, yet it saw the ROM file as a quadro file. Not sure whats up there.

 

Currently I have a 7800GT with a silent cooler in my quad

 

Any help is appreciated! I already tried emailing japamac but he didnt respond :c
