Flashing Bios vs Overclocking

I have a 9800 Pro 256 and I have easily overclocked it to XT speeds with stock cooling (and I could push it further). Now I was wondering if there are any benefits of flahing the bios to a XT or does overclocking do the same thing? If there are benefits, are they too insignificant to even bother with flashing the bios? Thanks...

I really don't think that an XT BIOS would improve your overclocking... that depends on the RAM speed and the core structure, which a new BIOS will not change of course.
 
you can edit the original bios fo your xt then flash it to the new core/mem settings. You can go to Rage3D forums and find all the answers.
 
I would say there would be no benefit in flashing the BIOS. The XT has better cooling and better pcb design so your not going to be able to reach the same overclocks a 9800XT can.
