Flash GeForce 8800 GT to GeForce 9600 GT, for SLI config? - 2008/07/03 20:27 Hi, I have a GeForce 8800 GT and I received a GeForce 9600 GT as a gift. Can't return the damn card, so I was wondering if there's a way to flash one of those cards to make them compatible to run in SLI config. It might be a stupid question but I'm kind of a newbie about these things.

Re:Flash GeForce 8800 GT to GeForce 9600 GT, for SLI config? - 2008/07/04 02:34 The GeForce 8800 GT is equipped by the G92, the GeForce 9600 GT is though powered by the G94. They are entirely different GPU's, and a BIOS flash will totally screw one up until you reflash it.

Re:Flash GeForce 8800 GT to GeForce 9600 GT, for SLI config? - 2008/07/04 11:53 As already stated that can't be done, NVIDIA requires that you have two cards that are the same and when it is the same type of card also for best performance is the same BIOS. This you can't get as you have two different GPU's, meaning the G92 and the G94, with the G92 being the better of both. So I would keep the GeForce 8800 GT, sell the GeForce 9600 GT and just run one card or use the money and some extra to get another GeForce 8800 GT if you really want SLI. Or sell both and go for a GeForce 9800 GTX, which are now quite cheap.
