    So i found premamods OC bios for the 970m in the alienware 17 r3..im wondering is there any way to go back to stock after flashing? or will this vbios not harm anything..and i dont plan to push the 970m to crazy clocks.

    When i try to copy the old vbios before flashing..gpuz says..dosent support bios reading..so i think once this is flashed ill be stuck with it.

    im referring to this https://biosmods.wordpress.com/aw1x-r3/
