Flashing your bios is risky. Flashing your Graphic Card's bios is a double risk and if it goes bad your card won't work and you'll need an old pci graphic card just to attempt a recovery and it may or may not work again (worst case senario). Will I walk you through it, no I won't. I refuse to put myself in a situation that may result in the death of someone else hardware. But I will give you some links.

This forum has some good info for you to look thru.

And this is the only warning I'm giving you regarding the exposed boobies in your avatar. They better not be here the next time I look at this post!!!!

Thanx for the links, great help might have a go this week end at flashing the card , sorry about the semi naked girl first time on the forum.

What is the actual good side of flashing a new bios on the card? Is he trying to get a 9800GTX on his 8800GT or something? Because they're both G92..

Still i wouldn't recommend it to anyone, seems really risky!

What the problem is that my voltages are set 0.9 (VID) which results in holding back my overclock ( core 635, shaders 1605, ram 999) I've read that if i can flash the voltages to 1.1 VID then this will result in a lot greater overclock.
