SKYMTL,

I noticed that different bioses gives different overclock speeds.

Would you be willing to make available to us the bios used in that EVGA card that overclocked to 744 core? I would like to test it on my card.

EVGA has posted new BIOS's for their 8800GTs. "This BIOS is for those who wish their fanspeed to spin up quicker, there are no other changes."

I haven't tried it out yet, still using Rivatuner ATM.

the thread here is a bit old by now, but i just found it so i hope i still can get some help here :p

i'm wondering if the card will work on an older mainboard with pci express 1.0a (in our case the epox 9npa+ sli)...evga posted a bios update to fix some problems like that but i would like to hear some end-user comments as well about all that.
thanks in advance :)

I haven't had a problem with my older DFI Lanparty SLI DR Expert but if I were you I would make sure I had the EVGA BIOS on hand just in case. Maybe someone else can shed some more light on this.

thanks for the first response already :) i also hope for more responses :)

the problem with flashing the bios after buying the card is that the pc won't post without the right bios, so i would have to find a pc which is compatible to flash it there...and that is impossible right now...
