hey guys

ok i recently bought a gigabyte GTX 460 SE 1GB

and i downloaded utilitys of the website and one utility is called NVIDIA @BIOS which gives me an option to flash my bios

now im very hesitant to install or flash this and im wondering what it does, will it overtake my bios, cause issues, instability

and is there any benefit of installing it

My motherboard
ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 - bios 1102 from asus

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Why do you want to flash your GPU's firmware anyway ? Are you having some problem with the graphics card ?

There isn't really a benefit with flashing the BIOS unless you are having problems or want a permanent overclock applied to the card.
