Yes that is a known issue and actually we haven't seen any 1GB version so far of the GeForce 8800 GT with a BIOS that fixes this cause the reference card designed by NVIDIA is jst with 512MB and those that came out with a 1GB version did that at their own choice and NVIDIA was not involved. You will need to contact the maker of the graphics card really. Which brand is it actually? And yes I moved your message to the correct thread.

Re:GeForce 8800 GT, and any ways to edit out PCI Express 2.0!? - 2009/02/11 02:32 Okay, I have got an ASRock mainboard and an XFX GeForce 8800 GT, the normal clocked version, stock reference 600MHz. So you say to get any other BIOS with the newer version and to just flash that. But doesn't memory timings matter? I really wish XFX would just release a BIOS, I mean its not impossible, they can obviously do it, EVGA did it, they have no excuses. Also what would be the full command to flash it.

Euh this is only required it you have a VIA chipset powering your mainboard and not just related to ASRock. And I have deleted the extra lines you have put as it is just not a good idea to flash back to the Gen1 BIOS version since the 62.92.23.x or newer BIOS's work just fine for normally any card. And the memory timings you just don't adapt as easy as you put so that would give a very bad experience. If the memory timings really give an issue you would see that and then you just flash back. If else I am indeed saying any brand will do as most use the same memory chips.

nvFlash v5.xx Commands...
"nvflash -b backup.rom" (Backup your Original BIOS)
"nvflash -5 -6 newbios.rom" (Normal BIOS Flashing)
"nvflash -4 -5 -6 newbios.rom" (Forced BIOS Flashing)

Thanks for the update mate, and as you see it works just fine. Most GeForce 8800 GT cards are the same as they all come from NVIDIA and have the same memory really. Only some brands come with different memory on some series but even then most will just work with the default memory timings. Good job and have fun! And please keep visiting us, as well as visiting our advertisers as those keep the site running.

Re:GeForce 8800 GT, and any ways to edit out PCI Express 2.0!? - 2012/02/24 12:18 Hello Mavke
I am trying to get my galaxy: product : G92 Board -03930004
8800GT PCI-E 512MB DDR3 256bit HDTV/Dual DVI to run on
my Asus A8V-XE
I flashed and downgraded the bios on my son's pc with the bios you have under your downloads: Galaxy 8800GT PCIe 512MB - Rev 01: 62.92.12.00.04

The flash went ok but after reboot, still in my son's pc the screen flicked in all different colors.

I didn't try this bios with the A8V-XE
because I was afraid that I messed it up, so I blind flashed
it back to the original bios.

I used nibitor v 6.03 to open the bios rev 01 and under the tools
I clicked on the gen1 and saved the bios, dont know if that
was the right way to do It?.

I think I saw somewhere in this topic you writing that there was no need to downgrade the bios, but the newest bios would fix this, dont know if I got that wrong?

I read some more on this topic and I can see there is no need
to use the gen1 under tools in nibitor. I am going to try the
MSI 8800GT (OC) PCIe 512MB - Rev 04: Version 62.92.23.00.21 bios, should I clock the msi bios down to my
original setting?.My original timings look the same as the msi.
Hope this will fix it, whats your thought on this Mavke?

I will attach my original bios
Hope you can help me
Mavke
