But i want to know that should Core/Mem should be same as my graphic card like

First off if you are just flashing "because", I say dont bother.....why are you looking to flash it in the first place?

 

[paroh]

As a very strange sound come from the PC like wisille.

 

[sneekypeet]

Let me get this right ...you heard a whisling comming from the 8800?

 

[paroh]

Ya sneekypeet u get it right but the strange sound stops when windows load fully. I am using the card for more than 6month with no problem other then this strange sound.

 

[sneekypeet]

so it whisles at startup then goes away....If I remember there was something about the power coils whining on the 8800's....not my area of expertice...but I really dont think a BIOS flash will rectify the issue.

 

[paroh]

i just check there is no power coils whining on the card. If u could answer my first question it will be great.

 

[sneekypeet]

To answer the first question...yes they should all be the same...speeds and ram size and type as well. Unless you know the card can run with the different clocks already I wouldnt try it due to stability issues....have you looked in TPU's bios download section?

 

[paroh]

I look here

[sneekypeet]

try these....http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/...FX&model=8800+GTS&interface=PCI-E&memSize=320

XFX brand vs. the Nvidia brand you were looking at....maybe these match better?

is geforce does not provide bios update on there site???

 

[Fahim]

GeForce doesn't have their website, infact, it is just the name of the graphics chipset. Most companies doesn't provide bios on their web site, but TPU has got a collection of bios'es from users in its database. If you can dump the bios via GPU-Z and attach here, i can help you get the bios for the same board.

 

[hat]

Those BIOSes aren't BIOS updates, that is just a collection of BIOSes us TPUers sumbitted. For example if you wanted to flash your regular old XFX card to an XXX edition. It's not like a motherboard BIOS update.
