Why the "need" to update the BIOS?

Do you feel that EVGA is misleading you?

*If it aint broke, don't fix it. (especially BIOS)

Want a pretty (and very expensive) door-stop ????

Got a good reason for updating the BIOS ?

I have owned at least 7 generations of "performance"video cards,
with several variants of each generation and in multiple computers,
starting with Voodoo1. Never ever updated BIOS. Update drivers -- yes,
very frequently. Use Coolbits or other Overclocking tools..... most
certainly....

I also have an eVGA 6800 GT. I don't know if the BIOS is even
flashable. I gotta wonder why you'd want to update it?

Just read this, and was wandering if there's any reason why you have not
tried Google,
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=...+6800+gt&meta=. First
hit already answers your question. Time to get the answer: <1 second.

However, think carefully before doing it (and after that, don't do it). The
advice you were given, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it", is a very good
one. Along with "Google is your best friend".

Let's shut down usenet and put up a sign that says human interaction has
been completely replaced by google.

Human interaction is a lot more fun, but Google is more efficient
at finding the answers to specific queries.

Agreed. Answers to specific factual questions are better sought after on
Google, while opinions are better (though some may disagree ) sought on
Usenet.
