flashing a 9800gtx+ to a gts250

Easy Rhino · Nov 13, 2009, 12:57 PM

curious to know if anyone here has flashed their 9800gtx+ to a gts250. i own the 9800gtx+ and have been on the prowl for a used 9800gtx+ to purchase for SLI. that is hard to come by, so i figure i may have an easier time finding a used gts250 and that would only make sense if i flash the 9800gtx+ to a gts250. let me know!

Mod the bios from your current one. It just... works ...
