Flashing GPU BIOS

Hello fellow LTT Family,

 

    As you may or may not know, I recently acquired the giveaway 980. It's the Zotac gtx 980 Amp! Extreme Edition. I was wondering because of it's limitations (most likely due in part to the bios) that I flash another cards bios to it. This is one area I never thought I would have to delve into. The power target can only go up to 111% and the voltage is locked. Seems as if there won't be anything updated anytime soon on Zotac's end. If I can flash it I assume I can flash it back.

 

Just give me your insight please and Enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving to those who partake in it.

I think you are risking too much. Think about it

I won't risk it after seeing your posts. I did try other applications, I don't think it's worth.

Temperature is definitely not an issue in my case, but I do appreciate the help. :D
