How to flash the nVidia bios.

[Emmer]

Hey y'all,

Had a question regarding upgrading the nVidia BIOS.
Thought i do that with nvFlash?

Does anyone have a link to that proggy?

And do i need to use y'er good ole floppy drive?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx anyways,

Emmer.

He is talking about a 680i LT.

It looks like they only have a .ISO so yes, you need a BIOS floppy. Most of these boards have a XFX BIOS though, are you sure it is Nvidia?

If you really don't want to use a floppy to flash XFXSupport here might a Winflash version.

It depends on wether you're wanting to flash the video card or the motherboard.

For the motherboard, you can flash it either using a floppy or in windows. You do not need NVFlash for this.

For the video card you absolutely need a floppy disk that is formatted to boot from. You put NVFlash (here) on there along with the bios and when you boot to the floppy you run "nvflash biosname.rom"

I have been talking to him in private messages, he is flashing a 680i LT, with 2 BIOS types, XFX or Nvidia.

On startup it says:

(6A61IR0B) Release number 721N9P07
NVIDIA BIOS Version: 2.053.B2

It's about a 680i LT mobo.

The release number refers to the mobo BIOS i assume.

The NVIDIA BIOS version number , well i don't know.

Thats why i posted that question. I think that version is the version release or not?
