Questions about Graphic Card BIOS

Wakishi · 06-26-12, 08:34 AM

I am curious about the BIOS of the graphic card,is it possible to update the current BIOS to another?For example,I am having a Asus HD6670 and i wan to update it to another brands BIOS,such as Gigabyte's,is it possible?

Besides,I have overclocked the GC to 850mhz core and 1080mhz memory clock,can I overclock it to higher value? I have 3 120mm casing fan and a 550w PSU,with just pentium dual core processor.

BTW,I am new to this forum and I am an Asian so please tell me if there is any bad languages.Thanks for any help too

You can, but I wouldnt do it. What is the point to you doing that? What are you trying to gain?

As far as overclocking it further... again, you can. Does it freeze..NO? Keep pushing further? Do you see artifacts...NO? Keep pushing. Just overclock teh core, find its maximum, then back it down. Do the same for the memory, then see where they can both run together.

Actually,I was just curious about the BIOS thing,is it every brand the same?no difference between the stability?
And about the GC,i not sure how to determine the maximum,I tested with Furmark but every possible value can run for more than 10 minutes without raising the temp above 65degree,any other way to find out?thank for your suggestion

Not all the bios are the same...

Also try running something besides furmark. Give something like 3dmark11 a go. Gives a more realistic stressing.
