well yes, but it doesnt have to be 9800gt only. you can use the guide too for updating your gc to a newer bios released by your manufacturer.
but bear in mind the 9800gt bios flash might not work on every 8800gt. that's why it's flashing at your own risk.

better not take the risk if you scared of bicking your card.
i will try to get a blind flash guide posted up soon, just in case anything happens when you flash your card.

Okay dlwl, please do so post up that blind flashing tutorial...

And to the threadstarter.... can post a more complete tutorial ka? I am not sure what this MagicPanel does or do we have to have the .ROM file before we flash.. and even where to get the .ROM file for the 9800GT?

magicpanel is like a monitoring utility for your graphic card. and it also can be used to flash your graphic card bios. yes, it is assumed that you already have the .rom file saved before you run the flashing. i did not post up any links to the 9800gt rom because it is not encouraged to flash, and it's quite risky.

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.

lol? i using the same driver without problem haha sad to heard tat...

QUOTE(dlwl @ Sep 7 2008, 04:03 PM)

Useful Information for who wanted to flash from 88GT to 98GT
1) VGAbios.exe ( a tool for u to test ur bios.rom files b4 u really flash it... bad news ONLY FOR WINDOWS 98 and XP)
2) Make a blind flash b4 u do anything to avoid failure and problem...
3) Make use of NiBiTor change some information accordingly dun just blindly flash the bios after u download the files from the net....

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

4) do some research b4 u do anything , make sure u know wat you are doing =) Good LUCK !

GUIDE TO CREATE BLIND FLASH
1) Create a BOOTABLE storage (thumbdrive or floopy )
- Floppy ~ right click ur floppy den select format select option "create a ms-dos startup disk"
- Thumdrive ~ download "HP bootable flash utility" and do it urself haha

2) Place nvflash tool to the bootable storage directory (Nvflash tool download link v5.63 Click Here To Download )
3) place ur bios files to the same directory (original bios files for your GC)
4) Create a Bat files with notepad named autoexec.bat and save it to the directory with following command line

CODE

nvflash -5 -6 <ur bios files.rom>

5)restart ur com with the blind flashable disk connected to ur com
6) everything will automatic boot IF u do it correctly wait until u heard a "bip" sound den press Y 3 times ( depend on error show but normally just 1 time enough for safety just press 3 times)
7)wait until u heard 2nd "bip" sound which mean u successfully revived ur card.... just restart ur com and enjoy ur advanture again haha~
