480 to bios flash

[NicholasNicholasNicholas]

Merry 420! Im looking for a new bios for my 480 as ive heard it manages the voltages differently. I may also sell it for a higher price once im done with it. Thanks

You certainly aren't going to get a higher price for it, probably even lower if you can sell it at all. And if you don't have a dual-BIOS you can accidentally brick the card. The higher voltages will give you marginally better overclocking. Not really worth the entire process imo, at least not on a 480.

i do have a dual bios card, its made by sapphire. and in canada the 580s are at least 50 dollars more. ive also heard that people have gotten good overclocks. my 480 is currently at 1410 with +96 on the voltage

AMD did this they are calling it the 580 and are selling at the same MSRP... But seriously no don't do this unless you have dual BIOS.
