Hey everyone :D,

I'm new to the community that's why I post this here... I wanted to know if my GPU is "flasheable" to 6970s BIOS...

This is a pic of my GPU specs:


Thanks in advance, juan2911.

Forgive me for this . But why would you want to risk messing that sweet card up with a BIOS flash ? Are you not happy with the card ?

You risk it any time you think a BIOS flash is going to help a video card . I have done it 2 times and each time it scared me to death . The last time I did a video card flash it fried them BOTH . Never again . It is NEVER worth the risk it is just an epeen thing is all .
