Hi all,


Video OC'ing noob here. I would like to push my stock XFX 8800 GTX a little further, but, with Vista I can't seem to get a software solution to work. I know some people are flashing their Bios on the Video Card but, how do you get it to something safe without cratering the card? Any help on this would be appreciated, as this is my first time to do this, and am a little hesitent on the bios thing. If there is a very safe way to do this, then I would give it a go, but kind of need some guidance.

Unless you have a bunch of experience flashing your GPU BIOS, I'd recommend "Don't do it!" IMHO this can be done quite well by an experienced individual. My suggestion is to wait a while longer and let NVIDIA get the NTUNE application working. A few more weeks shouldn't be a real problem for you. Right?
 
Nope, not a problem at all. Would be nice, but my theory is why wait on Nvidia? They can't seem to get good drivers out in a timely manner ... how long should I wait for this? LOL.

Anyway, nah, don't hurt a thing. Thanks.
 
What do you need more power for? The GTX is the most powerful card on the market and can max pretty much anything out!

Are you playing on a huge res or what?
 
Why do we do some of the things we do? Do we need to? No. Do we want to? Sometimes yes. Do we want to OC stuff sometimes when we don't have to? Hell yes! It's my right as an American to take something and make it either better, or burn it up to a crisp. LOL!
 
Oh for lords sakes, someone please just delete this .... Good lord Bruce.
