A while ago I overclocked by 7900 GS Go with a ROM flash.

I had to flash it back when an engineer came to check the laptop last year and now I'm playing Mass Effect 2 I could do with that extra performance again.

What I am hoping is that a member here has that ROM boot disc for flashing!
The original site no longer has it.

Many Thanks

i have a rom boot disc for a 7800gs go but i dont think that will work with the 7900 if i remember correctly.

Unfortunately it wont.
So annoying as I had about 3 copies of this disc laying about last year!

Is it different to flashing a standard vga card?

Not at all, it's getting hold of the modified ROMs which is my problem.

Oh i see, just had a look over at techpowerup and there are several for the 7900gs go but not sure if any are modified or not

the mod ROMS state 7900 gsx usually.

Dunno if this will help but it's what I found about a GS to GTX bios mod?

Does bios flashing really boost the performance?

Yes. The card is soft limited to be a GS rather than a GTX.
You flash the 7900 GTX modded ROM to the 7900 GS and you then have a faster, more clockable card.
