I have an ASUS AGP-V6800 Deluxe card and I have updated my BIOS, but now I have severe problems. Whats going on?
This is because older ASUS AGP-V6800 Deluxe cards use 8 Infineon RAM chips, and newer cards of the same model only use 4 Samsung RAM chips, with a different BIOS to go with them (version 2.10.02.10.04). ASUS offer a ‘newer’ BIOS on their website that enables sidebanding (version 2.10.02.10.02 sba), but this BIOS only works with the 8 chip cards, not the newer 4 chip cards. If you use the sba BIOS on a newer card, you will get display corruption and instability problems. Jurgen Ludolph has provided me with a copy of the 2.10.02.10.04 BIOS that you can download if you have this problem. It is available here: http://www.geforcefaq.com/files/v6800d-2.10.02.10.04.zip You will need to use NVFlash to use this BIOS – you can read more about NVFlash in the ‘Where can I get and how do I use NVFlash?’ question.
