Help with a BIOS update on Gigabyte HD7950 Windforce

[unchiusm]

Hi there guys . I just bought a Gigabyte 7950 from a friend of mine and overclocked it a bit and then I found out that I can update it's BIOS . I don't know if it's necesary but i really like having stuff updated .My bios firmware is the : F2 and there are 3 new updates out there .

I never flashed a GPU Bios in my life so I turned to you guys (I flashed mobos before) Could anyone help me out and tell me what are the risks and what are the benefits of flashing a BIOS on a gpu

Oh and BTW next week I'm buying another one so I wanna know if the bios of that should be the same

Thanks alot in advance!

I dont think that bios update is necessary, you shall update your GPU bios only when your card is not working corectly like giving BSODs, Having terrible clocks or voltages etc etc. So i would not recomend you to update it

Unless you have a need to flash your video card's BIOS, I would recommend against it. You run the risk of torpedoing a perfectly fine piece of equipment, and for what? 🙂

You're right , I shouldn't update it ... Cause that's why updates are out .. Right ? ) Jk . I don't know what can go wrong if you flash your BIOS .. Unless ofc your purposely shutdown your PC . Anyway thanks for the asnwers ! Peace
