Alright, well I just got a 6800GT (with the green PCB) that overclocks really well, but I would like to flash the BIOs to ultra BIOs to see if I can get a little bit more out of it. Well my question is when I try to backup my original BIOs with nvflash it says it errors with a message like can't find a file with .rom or .nvr. Also which Ultra BIOs would be best to use for me?
Thanks for any help, this is my first time ever trying to flash my videocard...

okay when you back up the bios type this:

nvflash -b backbios.rom

type that. i had the same problem. your problem is your putting a space in the .rom name for example:

nvflash -b backup bios.rom <----- WRONG
nvflash -b backupbios.rom <------ RIGHT

Thanks for the great help. I idle at 53 and load I just barely hit 80. my clocks right now are 430core and 1200memory. With temps I have now would it be save to do the 1.5V mod? I am using an NV5 silencer and the AS5 hasn't even settled yet.

1.5V is safe when you watercool ur card. but 1.5V doesnt help your oc in 6800GT. just mod it to 1.4V. I can run 440/1200 with stock cooling.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I already modded it to 1.4V and my temps are still pretty good, and I was wondering if it would be safe to go up to 1.5V.

Not unless you have an extra 400 laying around...

1.5V is not that safe, otherwise NiBiTorv wont set the 1.5V option to 1.6V. but if your temp is good, around 35C idle 42C full load (just like my temp before) then you can try to mod it to 1.5V. I tried it before, but it was useless and crash when boot into window about 2 mins. I mean that's you choice, alot ppl have mod their GT to 1.5V,they gain nothing but crash or unstable.
