Re:Inno3D GeForce 8500 GT and BIOS flash to better performance? - 2008/09/04 19:44Captain, captain the ship its not working. Lol got a slight problem. It won't flash, it tells me this warning unknown board ID. It is recommended you obtain a newer version of nvFlash. And then, error no NVIDIA display drivers found. I'm using nvFlash v5.13. Erm, what's this about?

Re:Inno3D GeForce 8500 GT and BIOS flash to better performance? - 2008/09/04 20:19Lol, nevermind I have found the latest version and its flashed and got 1.38V. Yeah woohoo, now I'm sitting on these speeds 708/1220MHz and shaders at 1474MHz from the standard 600/1000MHz with 1250MHz shaders clock speed. I'm still playing around so yeah will go higher once I test more and stuff to see stability. Thanks dude you are the man and my new hero. There goes Bill Clinton out the window. Lol, just kidding.

Re:Inno3D GeForce 8500 GT and BIOS flash to better performance? - 2008/09/04 23:46Okay, this are my final results after sitting testing and playing games. Games used for testing were Race Driver GRID, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, TrackMania Forever, Need for Speed Pro Street and Battlefield 2. I noticed I was gettin major artifacting so now I had to drop my memory speed down. Not cool but I can live with it. The final results that are stable is 729/1100MHz and shaders at 1518MHz. This is completely stable under games and benchmarking programs.
Mohaha its alive. Lol funny thing is I know I'm not gona get wow frame rates but now I'm seeing 5 to 15 more frames on games which is awesome, as it is a GeForce 8500 GT after all. Thanks for all the wicked help. I will definately pop in to say whats up. If ever you are in South Africa call me, I take you for a major party. Lol.
