to be honest, if it's under warranty and needs a bios update, send it back to XFX to do the flash. if the flash fails, they cant deny you an RMA of equal or better performance card.
I can not speak for other areas but for United States and Canada the double lifetime warranty is far from a lottery. If you flash your video card BIOS with a BIOS specifically given to you by XFX to resolve or help with an issue then it does not affect your warranty. If you decide you want to try and flash your 8800GTX XT with and 8800GTX XXX BIOS in hope for better performance and kill the card, then that would not be covered.
