Which is more scary for you? Flashing your motherboard bios or GPU bios? POLL

LemonSpice

GPUs have BIOS updates?!

 

Also, Gigabyte has a nice tool to do it while in Windows, so it's no sweat.

The sweat doesn't come from doing it through the BIOS or Windows. The sweat comes from the fact that if you have a power failure during flash, the bios chip becomes a little brick.

neither... if you have a spare graphics card you can always flash it back, no matter how much you fucked up and you can get new bios chips for motherboards for like 15 bucks

I've done it with motherboard for updates, so that's not really that worrying. I've never done it with a GPU though. I honestly don't even know how to. :/
