I intend to Get the Palit GTX285 2GB and it has come to my attention that you can actually flash Quadro Bios in gaming Cards. How can i turn the gtx285 into the strongest quadro Card? I would really appreciate your help on this!

How did it come to your attention?

I read some posts about people flashing the BIOS and then using riva TNT to emulate driver functionality.

I just want to know the specifics on how to do it, and which card is best for the best quadro.

Well Quadro FX 5800 cant be reached obviously since it has thr 4GB Ram but what about using a gtx285 or 295 to flash with the second best quadro.

Have you read about anyone "flashing the BIOS" for a 9XXX or 2xx series card? Are you sure you aren't talking about "softmod"? Where are you getting your info from?

Mostly 7900 and 8800 used to do that, but i think it can be done with later cards as well. I mean why not, they're even better.

Anyway flashing the BIOS is the first step which is hardware based of course, but then you have to usa riva tnt softmod in order to emulate the driver activity.

Since nvidiaa has put restrictions into its drivers and recognize if a card is actually falsely flashed with quadro bios and doesnt allow for further installation of the drivers.

Here's a place with BIOS, but i cant log in after i registered, so i cant ask the question
