Anyone know anything about the CD that comes with the card? It says on the box that it has a flash utility on it. Any reason right now for me to flash my new card?

Also, why is the nVidia latest driver still from December 2007?? :rolleyes:
 
BIOS flashing in general on video cards is pretty much for overclocking purposes, right? I don't feel a need to overclock it right now but would like any info if you guys have done a flash on one.
 
Driver updates are to increase performance (where its lacking), fix problems or add features.
If the performance is fine and you dont have any problems theres no need to update it.

I modded my BIOS so it gives the GPU 1.1V instead of 1.05V.
This allows me to clock a bit higher.
 
I modded the bios on my 8800gts 512mb to increase the default fan speed from 37% to 50% which is almost inaudible and much cooler now. don't have to depend on rivatuner which wasn't working for some reason..
