I will use CD then, but with floppy disk do you just put those 2 .EXE's into it then its ready?
What commands do I use, this guide: http://www.mvktech.net/content/view/15/37/ is not much help coz there is no tut for 8 series.

I have 2, dont think there bootable, dont know how to check?
Anyway ya found a floppy disk...
So when it loads, I have the modded bios: EVGA.8800GTS.PCIe.640MB.Rev.04.rom
And the backup Bios: (How do I get the backup?)
The I type into the CMD: a:nvflash -5 -6 EVGA.8800GTS.PCIe.640MB.Rev.04.rom
That right?
1. Download the correct BIO's file you need
2. After it's downloaded Rename this file to 1.rom
3. Download nvFlash
4. Unzip nvFlash create a folder on your desktop paste all of it in the folder
5. Install a floppy in my computer right click it format and reformat it for MSDOS then open it.
6. open the folder with the nvFlash,cwsdpmi and the new bios 1.rom copy and paste them to the floppy
7. Restart the computer with the floppy in.
8. Making a backup once you get to MSDOS and see the {A:\} prompt next to the prompt type, nvflash -b backup01.rom (This Backs up your stock BIOS, just in case you have to flash it back)
IT' ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK THE FLOPPY TO MAKE SURE THE BACKUP TOOK
9. Normal BIOS Flash, next to the {A:\} prompt type, nvflash -5 -6 1.rom This should flash it if it doesn't you force flash it.
10. Force flashing, next to the {A:\} prompt type, nvflash -4 -5 -6 1.rom
That's it remove the floppy and restart, DONE
Now if for any reason something went wrong you have the backup on the floppy so you just do step 9. again with nvflash -5 -6 backup.01R flashes it back to stock.
nvFlash v5.38 Commands...
"nvflash -b backup.rom" (Backup your BIOS)
"nvflash -5 -6 backup.rom" (Normal BIOS Flash)
"nvflash -4 -5 -6 backup.rom" (Forced BIOS Flash)

Flashed a few different cards and never heard of this , ive had a evga and currently got a bfg bios on my Asus 8800gts
might aswell use this thread, so ive got SLI 7600's.
different brand cards, one XFX the other BFG.
i will be flashing the latest rev.05 bios onto both cards, is it possible to flash the bios onto both cards at the same time or have i got to switch the cards around in the PCIE slot?

Aww I read this thread hoping that I could pump some more voltage into my 8800GTS core 
Thanks for the disappointment
Still might do it anyway, saves me having software to overclock it with I suppose. Quick question though:
We all know that upping the Core clock through Rivatuner or whatever you use automatically increases the shader clock by a certain ratio, so what happens if you set the core clock in the BIOS to 650 but the Shader to 1300 or so? Would it be automatically adjusted or will it run at the BIOS set speed?
