Got a question for you gpu gurus before I take a risk on my brand new card...
So I was beginning the overclock process on my Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB card when I realized EVGA precision would only let me go to 102% of the power target.
Upon further investigation, I learned that different cards have different limits set by the manufacturer, placed in the bios. For instance an EVGA card might have a 106% cap, while the MSI Lightning might have a 112% cap, etc. I'm able to put a +50 mhz OC on the card as is, but any more and it'll crash due to lack of power going into it (it's barely even passing 80*C on graphics burner benchmarks). So, would it be safe to flash the bios from here (http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/140316/gainward-gtx770-4096-130523.html) and flash them using NVFLASH on my gtx 770?
