common sense.

why bother flashing it..... if you want more performance, get a new card! like : the mx 440s are really old already, and you haev something even older..... plus, if you screw up during the flash by pure stupidity and lack of common sence (like flashing a mx 400 to a FX6800), your card could freeze once power is applied to it because it has no idea waht it is, as in it has an identity problem. and if you do something like that, it might not be reversible (if you cant even see your screen, what can you do? common sence...) just overclock it if you are really desperate for more.... i doubt that flashing will unlock shaders or anything like it does from the 9800 to 9800 xt (with r360 core). Basically : Dont flash it if you never did a flash before/if you have no idea what it does, what risk it involves If you arent going to get anymore than faster core speeds, avoid the risk of totally screwing up your card in an ireversible way and just overclock it With cards from the mx440 era and before, upgrades (buying a new card) would be highly reccomended unless all you do is go on internet and surf the web. If your computer is slower than 1 ghz...... just buy a new system and a new card... (because if all you upgrade your videocard to , say, a fx 6800 GT on a 1 ghz computer, you wont get very high fps due to cpu limit, or botleneck, trust me, i have a ati aiw 9600xt and overclocking doesnt really give me any fps boost due to my cpu/mem/fsb/botlenecks.)

Will this work on my Asylum BFG Gforce FX 5900 128MB? The FX 5950 Ultra has 256MB mine only has 128MB. I would not think this would work, so I wanted to make sure before I did it. Also could you please post how to make this disk step by step this is the secound flash I have done and its been a while. I don't really remember how I put this disk together its been such a long time. You have been very helpfull and I hope this is going to work out for me. I would hate to mess this card up but I want the gain if it works.... Thanks, Quick071

As I answered before, yes you can. The older generation cards have the problem with FX->U conversions. The newwer ones are flashable. Run Drdflash, create the diskette, then copy nvflash (unzipped) and your bios onto the diskette. Leave your floppy in the drive then reboot. You will see Caldera Dr.Dos: and then continue to type nvflash -b original.rom or nvflash -f notsooriginal.rom

Hello, this is my first post in this forum although I have been reading different threads in here for a little while now I just decided to register. My question is can I flash my Gainward 5900FX Golden Sample Edtion 128MB card to the 5950 Ultra? I havn't seen anyone ask about Gainward cards so I figured I'd better before I attempt anything! Thanks in advance for you help

Out of curiosity...
i have 2 Leadtek Geforce 6800 GT's and wouldn't mind flashing them to 6800 Ultra's... to my knowledge, unless i'm blind, which is possible.... they use the same core... as for memory timings i'm not sure... however problem 1, i have no floppy drive so i'm curious if it *can* be done in command prompt? if it crashes, it just gives me an excuse to upgrade to a 7800 GTX. anyhoo. will the 6800 GT be able to flash to the 6800 Ultra or is there something i'm missing... like ram timings or something? thank you for any response i get, if any *edit* oh and... i'm going to assume that i'll need to disable SLI while i'm flashing the cards? or will recent versions allow SLI to stay on? can't hurt to ask right?
