Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Flashing?

Essentially, you are flasing the bios like you would to a motherboard using the bios from another card manufacturer or card model. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. A safer option that probably wont hurt is to find the "sweet spot" for o/c'in your card ( as far as u can go and be stable ), then copy your bios,modify the speeds to your best, and re-flash it to your card. The card will now ALWAYS run at these speeds, instead of having to load a software program at start-up to o/c the card.

No. All I've seen is downloadable bios' from current cards-people who like to mess around. If I was going to try, I'd probably do it on my older/backup card in case something goes wrong.......not my best card, untill I've become familiar with the process. I understand though, that as long as you keep an un-altered copy of the origonal bios, if something craps out, you can flash it back to norm. In all this you will also need to have a pci video card in case the flash is bad( install pci card so you can see the screen.......go through the flash process again, putting the origonal bios BACK on the agp card.......remove pci, and make the agp primary again........repeat if you are brave enough to try again).
