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 :)
