N26OC-896I BIOS, which one to use?

N26OC-896I BIOS, which one to use?
« on: September 14, 2009, 02:58:02 pm »
Model GTX 260 - GV-N26OC-896I.

I recently bought the aforementioned graphics card. I have the no signal issue on boot up, blank screen. I understand this problem has be rectified with the latest BIOS version as here http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/VGA/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3129

The question is which BIOS do I use? , how do I tell if I have the Samsung or the Hynix memory edition? , does it matter which BIOS I use?

Also I have a problem with coil whine with my Corsair TX 650 W PSU, very noticible when using ATi Tool. Anyhting I can do to resolve this other than buying a new PSU gfx combo?

Sorry, found this, I have Hynix memory. I guess it wouldn't flash with the Samsung version anyway



Why won't my VGA card update to the latest version BIOS?

GIGABYTE's graphics cards have different BIOS versions for one model. For example, VGA BIOS version F1 to F9 will be one series and BIOS version F10 to F19 will be the other series. So in theory, if your VGA card's current BIOS version is F3, and you see version F4/F10 available on the website, your VGA card will need to be updated to F4 and not F10.

Hi

Please check the current VGA BIOS version of the card VGA @BIOS utility before flashing BIOS. This utility should be on bundled cd or can be obtained from here:
http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Support/VGA/Utility_DownloadFile.aspx?FileType=Utility&FileID=91

BIOS of the card with Samsung memory is F1 - F9, BIOS of the card with Hynix memory is F10 and higher.

What is your current VGA BIOS version shown by VGA @BIOS utility?
ZX-S & C64 are still my favourites ;-)
