Hello has any got a good link on how to update the BIOS on a video card?
I have search this forum but fund nothing.
I have a Gainward GTX 260 that should have an enhanced function for O/C. But it doesn't ...so Gainward whose service it too great and website is a bit lame too, surgest that I update the video card BIOS...they are in gremany and there english isn't too great . This is the email they sent me.

QUOTE "But the BIOS file you have to flash in DOS mode, This file is a .rom file and can not be accessed in widows or vista OS.

Also you need nvflash.exe and other related to flash the BIOS.

Instruction for flash the BIOS is

After unzipping copy all the files in a floppy or dos bootable disk or usb stick.

Use below command to flash the BIOS in DOS.( Graphics BIOS can be only flashed in DOS mode)

A:\Nvflash.exe bios0025.rom" UNQOUTE

For my liking it doesn't explain enough what i should do (ie. i run vista home Prem 64 bit ..can I open up a command prompt from within windows to run this ??)
>If anyone has done this before or can point me in the right direction I will be grateful
Thanks
