    Where can I find Nvidia fx 3800m bios to flash my GTX 280m card with it?
    I see these card are about the same ,so is it even possible?
    Thanks

    It isn't possible AFAIK. The workstation card is based on the consumer one but it isn't the same.

    Should be possible.

    I've flashed a 280m vBIOS onto my fx 3700m (so have a few other people on this forum).

    I don't know where you will find the vBIOS, guess someone who has the card should upload it for you.

    Just make sure you can blind flash if something goes wrong.

    Isn't he asking to flash his 280M into a 3800M? I thought it was possible to go from workstation to consumer card (like you did) but not the other way.

    Why wouldn't it be possible to go the other way?

    Still worth a try IMO.

    I work in the CGI business and the GTX 280m does not support lot of features and speed that the fx 3800m offer, such as shading and lighting.
    I just need someone with the bios to upload for me.
    Thanks
