Nvflash Problem

[Mtemel]

ok i want to flash my 2x asus 6800 ultra gpu s to have identical bios s to enable me to use SLI mode

i have managed to save the bios of 1 card. but when tring to flash it to the other card the nvflash -i a:\6800u.rom command didnt work instead it jus came up with the screen you get when you type nvflash ? (the command list screen.)

on this screen i said the command to flash is nvflash a:\6800u.rom
bit when i entered that command i get an error message saying.........

warning firmware image does not match pci adapter image
and the same message for the subsystem
gpu mismatch...


what is the command to flash the bios of the gpu??

some one shoot me please :'( put me out of my misery

For flashing a 68xxx card,

Flash the bios in DOS using nvflash.exe v5.13

nvflash -r (removes any protection)

nvflash -b ORIGBIOS.ROM (saves original bios)

nvflash -4 -5 -6 BIOSNAME.ROM (flash new bios file)

However because of DOS filename restrictions, "ORIGBIOS.ROM" and "BIOSNAME.ROM" must have no more than 8 char's in first part of filename and no more than 3 char's in extender part, otherwise DOS will not recognise the command.

And note, the -4 -5 -6 command switches will force a flash regardless of any ID mismatches. So always select to continue.

But obviously make sure you ONLY flash a AGP type card with a supporting AGP bios, and a PCI-E type card with a supporting PCI-E bios !!!!!
