From what i have read, flashing the bios to Ultra is a bad idea

The preferred method is just to overclock it :thumbup:

The problems arise when trying to keep the GT cool, it's not possible unless you attach a seperate cooler to it. This is just not worth the effort for a few FPS.

Also, if you flash the card and fry it, you can't flash it back before trying to get a refund, so the company you bought it from will know what you have been up to.

Dog is right. I flashed my GT and found that it wasnt really worth it. It just became unstable and was more of a pain in the ass then it was helping me. If you still want to try it out just PM me and ill tell you how i did it.

2400Mhz on an AMD64 is roughly 4000+ you dont need to oc as much on an AMD to make large jumps n P-rating. for instance i only have my CPU overclocked 325Mhz that changed my 2800+ Barton to a 3600+. oh yeah and overclocking your GPU is nowhere worth what overclocking your CPU is not to mention the gpu is the more expensive part that is more prone to hotter running temps
