Good price Loosenut. It'll look nice in that EVO.

How can I flash firmware of GV-r587...??

SilverSilence · Apr 13, 2010, 05:02 AM

Where's this 'Beta" gigabyte BIOS, also, what other BIOS is the best to flash to ie; Sapphire, Asus, MSI etc.?

Gigabyte has just posted BIOS version F5. A menu on the left points to instructions on how to use Gigabytes vga BIOS utility.

I never managed to get the beta BIOS to run. The drivers wouldn't install properly and screen resolution was wrong. The Sapphire BIOS seems to run fine though. I haven't tried the new BIOS yet.

Thank you for the link 43st. I'll probably do the same thing and run the Sapphire or Asus BIOS also when mine gets here sometime this week.
