even last time when 8800GT first launched,i remembered quite some number of us tested wanan flash to SSC bios but small amount of us failed,right?

Do note that 9800GT bios not work with Galaxy 8800GT ( 2 X 6 pin , dual slot cooler ) .

one guy failed. sad.

ask them f*** off.

gigabyte gamers hud let you tweak the vcore to 1.1 which can let you up to 770 or more w/o sweat

bro bring u a good new my Galaxy 88GT 2X 6pin dual slot cooler as u mention successful flashed i think he cant found the correct bios..

QUOTE(dlwl @ Sep 6 2008, 10:38 PM)

wow quite a number reporting in..keep them coming!

Mr.Lonely, 98GT is physx enabled, and so is 88GT with the latest nvidia driver and physx software. no, it doesnt detect it as an ageia physx card, that's why it says not installed. you can check at the control panel, under nvidia physx. then go to the settings tab, you should see geforce physx selected under the hardware device selection.

angelic-x, what happened to your card?

TQ bro i got 2k point boost in 3Dmarks

Hmm, I'm beginning to get a problem. After flashing to the 9800GT, I'm beginning to get a NV4_disp error. The system doesn't crash, but it recommends I "reboot to recover full display functionality". Any clues? A quick google search reveals I'm not the only one to have this problem, and that the most common recommendation is to reinstall the driver. Tried that, reinstalled the new 177.92 Beta driver. Didn't get rid of the problem.

Update: Reinstalled to 177.79 driver. Problem gone. Guess it's a problem with the new beta driver.
