No

Just thinking of flashing it with higher clock speeds...(about 620 or 630 core and about 950 on the memory) not sure what shader clock yet..

safer to clock using software if all your after is clock speeds. only reason to flash bios is if your after voltage manipulation.

besides that i guess it would be fairly simple to flash the bios to say a model that comes preclocked from the factory.

flashing to a 8800ultra im not sure about since others say its a different core in them or core revision.

I was most likely going to do what i did with my 7800gtx's...Save my standard 8800gtx bios and then change the clock speeds to what i want and then flash the bios back to the card...
 
I've flashed my 8800GTX to the ACS3 KO edition bios, no problems at all.
626/1458/2000 (Core/Shader/Memory) speeds. Worked great.
Also tried the std Ultra bios. It will flash fine, but you need to make sure that your core/ram can take the speeds.

The voltages cannot be changed via the bios on 8800 series cards.

guess you don;t have to faff around with overclocking software then.

have you tried to nibitor? that worked on my 6800nu

Yes NiBiTor is what i would use for setting the clock speeds....

but you use different software for flashing the bios to the card "NvFlash"..

I downloaded the latest revision bios i could find , edited the clocks to what i wanted and flashed.
Very easy to do and very easy to fix a bad flash , so theres no reason not to do it :)
 
Just upped the speeds to that of the evga super clocked. 575 core 850 mem 1350 shader.

Keep meaning to flash it higher, but its not needed at the min :)
