If I recall, when I flashed my BIOS to an XT PE, I made a floppy DOS boot disk, and I saved the XT PE bios file to the drive as well, then they said to type in a command to backup the current BIOS, and then a command to copy the new on to the GPU. Then I just restarted and it worked great.

Can you explain it in more detail please. Because i don't know how to make a DOS boot disk or where to do the commands. Thanks

Yes i do need to flash it because I'm currently running F.E.A.R. on maximum video and hardware settings. But its lagging just a little bit. But if i flash it i should be able to run it with no lag at all
