Hello guys:
My video card is Asus R7 240 1G DDR3,I find the same type bios of this video card,but the memory size is different，Can I Flash the bios each other？

My English is a little bad,please forgive me.
 
No, chances of a failed flash increases several fold. What is the specific model of your card? please post a GPU-Z screenshot.

Why do you want to flash the card in the first place?

If I force to flash it and failed ,can I use the backup bios to recover it ? I fear that will damage the video card.

See my edit above..... I have found an Asus 1GB Bios for you but I need to know reference clocks and memory type before I link it for you.

Thank you very much. Because I want to elevate the GPU clocks and the memory frequency.
My GPU information are as follows.

Not sure why you cannot do that with the existing Bios you have as you can just dump those through GPU-Z? Those clocks would match the card with Nanya memory so here you go, flash at your own risk...……………...

Asus R7 240 VBIOS

Your card is compatible with the software VBE-7 so it's easy to increase powerplay and overdrive headroom.

Very Thanks I will try it later. When I open the VBE-7,it remind me modifications can only affect the legacy bios,Can I use it？But My Windows 10 is under uefi mode.

I have only used it some time ago with Windows 7 but that was a UEFI Bios also and it worked fine, what it did was revert my motherboards Bios to the older style interface but all motherboard options were unchanged, just the GUI looked different.

Oh no,it is failed . Now the video card can't display anything.
 
What did you attempt to change in the Bios? Failure will not have anything to do with the legacy thing, I am aware of plenty of people using VBE-7 with older cards in Win 10, I just have not used it in 10 myself.
Are you sure it was the right Bios in terms of memory support?

Post 1206 in the VBE-7 thread is an established member who uses VBE-7 in Windows 10 often, I think in your case it may be an adjustment you have made that has caused the issue, it's possible to rectify that then try a forced flash to try to resolve your issue.

I only adjust the gpu clock and the dram frequency，and it can't work. Fortunately ，my computer have the Core graphics card ，so I use the video BIOS which you give me，and repair it.
By the way，I find a tool which can patch the video card UEFI,I will try it later.
