Does eVGA step-up require original bios?

mk_ln · Nov 14, 2007

hi, i am stepping up my card but was wondering if it is necessary to flash the card's bios back to its original clocks. has anyone been in the same situation as me?

thanks in advance.

it would be an obvious sign of tampering if they check it. i would flash back just to be safe

i suppose, perhaps i should do so just to be safe. even though their warranty DOES cover OCing, i suppose the safest bet would be to just flash back.

thanks for the reply.

no problem. good luck

no it does require it... as long as the BIOS you have is a eVGA release of it and not a modded one

No it doesn't, read it again.
