nvFlash v5.38 is what I used to flash both mine at the same time.

There's no secret, you just flash normal as if only one were in and both get flashed nothing extra to type

Is it worth it to flash myBFG8800GTXOC to the BFG8800GTXOC2 or is it possible to flash to the BFG8800GTXULTRA?

I believe that they all have the same GPU 384bit 768MB 128 streams

does the ultra have a different GPU or is it the same as the GTX

I have decided to go the software route so that I don't have a future warranty issue.
Thanks for your help!

I know you can flash back if you have not fried your card.

Try software unless you no longer have a warranty on the card.

if the new bios doesn't take you can flash back with your backup if you make one before flashing.

Things you can adjust w/ a BIOS flash:

gpu startup speed
mem startup speed
mem timings
fan speeds [on some cards]
voltage settings
geometric delta [the shader offset speed, highly OC'd cards need this value lowered]

-hope that helps some.

Ok I seem to be getting mixed answers with this now. I need to confirm if you can successfully do a volt mod through Nibitor?

Some say yes, some say no.

If anyone does know you can, send me a pm or what not.

on older fx cards, I believe you could get a .5v increase through BIOS...with 6xxx series and up, it doesnt work. You can change whatever you want in the BIOS, but it does not take.

HOWTO: nVidia BIOS Flashing

Bought one of these a year ago for the shipping desk's computer back when I discovered the love and awesomeness of mech kybds and went on a buying spree for my business. OK, so we average about 10...

These popped up on my radar on Amazon for the stupid low price and I got two for work. One was definitely for the shipping station's computer. Other one? Well 1st was so cheap!! I might go find...

Bought the 1st one un-lit to see what I thought of Mech Keyboards after seeing all the nerds rave about them here in OCN. Wow! OK I get it now. You do gain an accuracy because the mind knows when...

Also, the cooling block was pretty flat. I'm a machinist on occasion and "pretty flat" isn't easy. I wet sand CPUs and coolers on glass; this cooler took 1/4 of the time the i7-2600k required to...

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...
