Hi all guys ! Recently i made up my mind about what i will do to my main pc about its GPU and i finally chose the Sapphire R9 280x to replace my old Gainward GT440. So, i thought about putting it in my old pc which has the Asrock AliveSATA2-glan mobo with the sh??itty VIA® K8T890 CF chipset. So now i need to flash my video card bios to Gen1 bios to make it work as it is stated on the official Asrock support site on their 2nd FAQ (about an 8800gt card pci ex16 2.0). So, how i do find this Gen1.0 bios to flash it on my Gainward GT440 to make it work flawlessly on that old mobo ? Thanks in advance !
