Flashing an 8800GTX

[[Tripod]MajorPayne]

So, I have a quick question about BIOSes on the 8800GTX.

I currently have a BFG 8800GTX OC2. I'm trying to purchase another 8800GTX, although odds are it won't be an OC2, and it might not even be a BFG. I want OC2 speeds, and most cards should do OC2 speeds without too much difficulty.

Is there a utility out there that will pull the BIOS from my OC2 and allow me to flash it to my prospective new card? Say I get an eVGA or something. I should be able to flash it since the hardware is the same, right?

I guess what I'm really looking for is a link to a program or utility that will help me flash a video card BIOS. The last BIOS flash I did on a video card was flashing a 9800 Pro to a 9800 XT, which was some time ago!

Thanks in advance!

Also, shameless plug here: My WTB thread is here, I'm looking for an 8800GTX!

http://www.mvktech.net/ is a great place to start.

Use NiBiToR v4.3 to dump the BIOS from you OC2 & then flash the new card with the dumped BIOS.

The site also has the latest BIOSes for most cards from the major companies.

Recommended Flash App: Nvflash v5.87 @ http://www.mvktech.net/component/op...func,fileinfo/filecatid,2578/parent,category/

Sweet, thank you!

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I recall using some iteration of WinFlash on my 9800 Pro, if I recall correctly. I'll look into that, assuming I can pick up a GTX at a reasonable price.

Glad to help & good luck on finding a well-priced GTX.
