Hey GPU Gurus...kinda a noob question here.
I didn't do much research and ended up buying a Galaxy GTX570 GC edition. Seen here: http://www.galaxytechus.com/usa/productview.aspx?id=154
I think it is a non-reference design (it at least has a non-ref cooler).
I have been reading about a lot of BIOS updates from other vendors addressing some DX11 issues (which I think I have). I love the card and it overclocks decently.
I want to mess around with flashing BIOSs, but I have concerns putting a different brands BIOS on this card, let alone when thinking reference design vs. non-ref.
Is this possible and "safe"? I have flashed BIOS on cards before, it has just been awhile and I don't feel like murdering my $300 card.
Anyone got any info and thanks in advance!
