I have an 8800GT, non-overclocked, or so it said when I ordered but the card was clocked 50mhz over normal at 650mhz and 950mhz when I got it. So looking for a bios update on the EVGA site (http://www.evga.com/support/drivers/default.asp?switch=2) that seems to bring improvement in the fan's function, I thought I'd flash it with the non-overclocked bios like my card supposedly is, or what I purchased, just to be safe. Well, after the flash it's at 600 and 900. I suppose it's safe to flash to the Superclocked version, or could anyone with a SC version could verify it's stock clock?

I always prefer to just modify the BIOS that comes on the card via Nibitor.

vanilla 600/900
SC 650/950

Some normal GT's were just send as SC.

Just tried it. Nibitor doesn't seem to work well with Vista x64. I'll just download the SC version and flash it since it seemed to run fine and at decent temps with the SC clock.
