GeForce 6 & 7 Flash Procedures.
 
 
- Flashing with nvFlash (nVidia) - Use nvFlash 5.13
Standard Procedure for 5.13: (flashing with 5.13 is recommended for the use with the 6x00 series NVIDIA cards, using the -4 switch forces flash and overrides vender mismatch)
 
 
1. a:nvflash -5 file.rom [Enter]
 
Standard Flash (same card, same firmware)
 
2. a:nvflash -5 -6 file.rom [Enter]
 
Standard Flash (same card, same firmware)
 
3. a:nvlfash -4 -5 -6 file.rom [Enter]
 
Force Flash (different model card, different firmware)
 
4. a:nvlfash -4 -5 -6 -a -y file.rom [Enter]
 
Automatic Force/Blind Flash (In case you screw up and cant see the screen - best to use this string for a autoexec.bat)
 
It is highly recommended to use nvFlash over anything else when flashing NVIDIA cards. Flashing from a Bootable CD is not recommended. If you don't have a floppy, buy one, they are in-expensive while saving loads of hassles on some system configurations.
 
*Important* If you are using softmods and other tweaking applications, uninstall them prior to flashing. This goes for Riva Tuner and others. Why? Because most people flash, leaving those programs resident, so those utilities, try to force the video card to those saved settings in software and that causes problems for a card with a fresh flash or a new device ID.
 
*Remember* To always change out the drivers after a flash, most people forget this and then wonder why the drivers are giving them problems or why they get strange effects in there games. Always re-install the drivers and turn off any anti-virus before doing so. Rename the file to something thats easy to remember and point the string path too.
