Okay, so just wondering as this has been the topic about it, has anyone tried flashing a GeForce 9800 GTX BIOS onto their GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB yet?
Well I don't know if anyone tried it, but having checked the BIOS's of both cards these are almost identical and actually early GeForce 9800 GTX cards came first with very new GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB BIOS's which of course where set at the higher GTX clock speeds.

Re:GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) flashing BIOS of GeForce 9800 GTX? - 2008/04/10 07:33 Has anyone tried this flash yet? I would be suprised if it works as, surely, there will be some circuitry differences between the GeForce 8800 GTS and the GeForce 9800 GTX...

Re:GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) flashing BIOS of GeForce 9800 GTX? - 2008/04/10 18:11 Well some have done it already and the results isn't that good as you get screen corruption. So those flashing with a GeForce 9800 GTX BIOS should think twice...

That would be somehow normal as the memory used on the GeForce 9800 GTX is much faster and with different memory timings, so before flashing a GeForce 8800 GTS you should first set the timings as they where on the GTS and that is the hardest part of the game...

Re:GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) flashing BIOS of GeForce 9800 GTX? - 2008/05/30 14:05 Hi, I tried flashing the GeForce 9800 GTX BIOS on the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB version, the day the BIOS was released. Got artifacts like crazy. Anyhow, I also tried changing the device ID to GeForce 9800 GTX, but for some reason, it still appears as GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB in Windows.

Yeps I have followed that up to a certain moment, until I think my trip to St. Louis and then I was a week out without very limited access to the internet. But it is normal that you got those artifacts, as memory timings are different. And also on the device ID that is not sufficient to get it recognize as a GeForce 9800 GTX version.
