Flashing GFX bios

[Wedge]

Hi

I have 2 x MSi 8800GT OC GFX cards in Sli, they have different bios versions running. (1 x 62.92.12.00.04 and 1 x 62.92.16.00.04)

I have read guides on how to flash, but am wondering because they are in Sli do i need to flash them 1 at a time? or will the flash do both cards at the same time?

ta

Found this on another forum, looks about right....you think???:

'Related to the flashing, what you first will need to do is have a bootable DOS media which you need to fit with nvFlash v5.57 or newer, this can be either a floppy or a USB memory stick. Once done you will first use nvFlash to once again backup the BIOS with the commands provide below which will allow us to find out how to flash the correct BIOS's to each of the two GPU of the GeForce 8800 GT SLI config.

nvFlash v5.xx Commands...
"nvflash -b -i0 oldbios1.rom" (Backup Original BIOS of Card #1)
"nvflash -b -i1 oldbios2.rom" (Backup Original BIOS of Card #2)

Once you have that you once again go and startup your system and use NiBiTor to check which is which BIOS, and you can do that as easy as checking the version number. Once you know which version is linked to which "-ix" index you can which BIOS to flash with which index using nvFlash. Then you check if all works still fine as nothing was really changed except adapted the voltage table. If that works we can go to the next step.

nvFlash v5.xx Commands...
"nvflash -5 -6 -i0 newbios1.rom" (Normal BIOS Flash of Card #1)
"nvflash -5 -6 -i1 newbios2.rom" (Normal BIOS Flash of Card #2)
