GPU Bios question.

[Niven]

Ive read numerous posts of people using 9700 Pro bios' in non-pro cards, so I have a little question.

My card is a Geforce 3 Ti200 :(
It currently has the original BIOS due to the fact that the manufacturer never released an update.

Could I use a new bios from the same series card, even if it was made by another company?
Also (noob question time) is there such a thing as a reference bios as I have had no luck finding anything about GPU Bios'.
Maybe a hacked bios...

Most bios's on video cards dont really need updating.. unless the core/ram speeds are locked..

If I flashed it with a bios from say a GFTi500, would it die?

[kromosto]

no it wont but maybe it wont with that bios so you have to flash it with its original bios again by using a pci vga card or by flashing it while you cant see anything at monitor (i did it after flashing my 9700pro with 9800pro bios :))

WHOA, you managed to flash a card blind! nice going.
Erm.. maybe ill leave it then :D
Im just gutted that I can only get 11000 3DMarks with this card(Page 6-7) :(
The card maxes out at 245/542, any higher and it either locks up and destroys my score or suffers bad corruption and artifacts.
