New Gigabyte 5870 issue and fix

Just built a new system with a Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD and in 3D games
it would flash to a blank screen (not blank really, lots of vertical
stripes in different colors at different times). The fix was to
download the Gigabyte VGA @BIOS utility and the new F8 BIOS (came with
F7), and flash it to the newer BIOS.

Was running with no overclock, all stock, but will now start messing
with it.

Works great so far!

Holy **** a GPU vendor that releases BIOS updates! Have the same card was
at F5 thanks for the heads up. Now to resist buying another one for Xfire
from today's shellshocker for $180.
