Thanks...:D

Hey all! Just want to report success flashing an ENGA 8800GT vanilla with the ASUS Gen1 BIOS located in this thread. :D The 8800GT works wonders in my Asrock 775DUAL-VSTA now. Smooth play at 1680x1050 in CoD4, BF2142, UT3 with everything on max. Very nice. UT3 Demo recorded over 100...

Optimummind: I appreciate your offer, however I have the straight 8800GT from EVGA...decided to save a few bucks for the flashing that I would have to do with a computer place around here (~$30). So I may be out of luck there...not sure that they'll be compatible...but I do appreciate it...

Well, so much for the vaunted EVGA support. I called and they said, "We have no official BIOS for the 8800GT at this time." Even though I said someone had spoken to Mr. Parra in product management, all they could say was, "We don't have it." So, I may just flash with the ASUS bios...

Optimummind: With a week or so under your belt with the 8800GT and the ASrock, how are you enjoying it? Still holding up OK?

Why thank you sir! I will do that.

Hello all...well, I went ahead and bought an EVGA 8800GT card because Optimummind who posted here earlier said he received a flash update from them, and I have an ASrock 775DUAL-VSTA which is not compatible. However--I just contacted EVGA support and they say, nope, we don't have that?? :mad...

FYI, official response from ASrock on this issue: "Unfortunately, 775Dual-VSTA (VIA PT800 Pro/Ultra chipset) does not support Nvidia GEN2 mode PCIE VGA card. The only solution is to set 8800GT GEN2 mode PCIE VGA card to GEN1 mode. Please refer to the video card manufacture to have...

Yeah, that's always a possibility...but I do hope ASrock takes this up. They did work out the 8800gts issues, so that was something. But I'm nervous...

Thanks for all the work you did here Optimummind....but, I guess for those of us with Asrock 775dualVSTAs without another motherboard to do the BIOS flash, we're still outta luck, eh? Guess we'll have to wait on ASrock.
