Hi folks, wonder if anyone can help... (jimmor if you are still around I would love to pick your brains on this)
Just bought an Asus en8800gt 512mb Current vga bios is 62.92.12.00.04 and after having installed get the black screen thingy.
Didn't know about the pci express gen 1 issue untill reading this thread but am reluctant to send card back as it was a bargain 60 pounds brand new.
So I am looking to flash the bios on this card to make it work (once I find a friend with a mobo I can do it on)
Found the following bios':
EVGA 8800GT BIOS Update (Version 62.92.24.00.XX)
This update is only for the following EVGA cards:
EVGA 8800GT BIOS Update (512-P3-N801-__)
EVGA 8800GT SC BIOS Update (512-P3-N802-__)
EVGA 8800GT KO BIOS Update (512-P3-N805-__)
EVGA 8800GT SSC BIOS Update (512-P3-N806-__)
Would I be correct in saying I should use the first one - EVGA 8800GT BIOS Update (512-P3-N801-__) ? (I read somewhere that msi do a bios as well any Ideas?)
Also Jimmor mentioned changing Timingset1 values..... would I use nbitor?? If so can you please give me more details as I have never used this.
Haven't flashed a vga bios since my geforce annihiator pro and that was a long time ago ;-) so if anyone has had a similar experience with the en8800gt and got it working I would love to hear from you
Thanks to you all for making this a great forum!!
Regards Rob
