how can i flash my bios ?

metal_ash · December 11th, 2002

maybe the flasher or the file is corrupted. btw,be carefull or ull make a mess with ur vcard.

You don't need to flash it as the ones that can be downloaded on the net are hopelessly outdated. Your current one could even be newer than the one you'e flashing to.

metal_ash · December 11th, 2002

as i told you... be carefull...never flashed it if you have no problems with it.

**Demigod** · December 11th, 2002

You don't really need to flash your videocard and I wouldn't recommend it.

i think he means how does he know he has problems that he has to flash his video card.

**Demigod** · December 11th, 2002

If it stops working then it's time to buy a new videocard. You can only flash a device when it's working properly. Flashing a faulty/dying videocard won't help much.

I doin't see much point in flashing a video card, Unless your specifically looking for Quadro features or want default OCing. But that stuff can still be enabled without flashing if you just tweak your drivers...

average_guy · December 11th, 2002

so the question remains...WHY FLASH?

i want to overclock my vid card by bios, not by software.

Drack · December 11th, 2002

Why? CoolBits works great. I don't see any disadvantages unless you are using an OS that doesnt have Nvidia drivers. If you did that I don't know why you'd need to OC.

talking of flash bios, how can I change the BIOS settings on my GF4 MX440?

Sampah · December 12th, 2002

mine also can't flash, i downloaded a bios for Geforce4 MX440 but when I flash it, it says my card doesn't support/match with the BIOS, I have no idea why it does not match, I the site says it's for Geforce4 MX440, can't be wrong anymore, maybe that site put a wrong BIOS.

Alias · December 12th, 2002

Well, since most people don't really need to flash their video card bios (as it would be pointless to most people), there isn't flashing the video card bios isn't a familiarity with most people. you're better off looking for information by searching video card hardware sites.

**Shadow Lady** · December 12th, 2002

well... I did flashed my card but I couldnt change the adresing band setting (that is the only I can use in my current mobo

)

I wouldn't recommend that. Flashing by the BIOS would result in permanent changes. It won't be easy to downclock it again if there are problems. I would recommend you stick with software overclocking. Better safe than sorry.

average_guy · December 12th, 2002

Demigod, would you recommand overclocking geforce 4 mx 440 using rivatuner or COllbit?

hoyoyo80 · December 12th, 2002

using riva tuner is easy...coolbit mmm maybe using hex value...maybe so there an extra work there..."but it could be wrong"(lord kane line)
