    A04 is the best official BIOS. It has the best optimization.
    The AO3 modded driver is the best ifyou plan to overclock. It can be found on this forum somewhere.

    The best video driver for majority of games is 275.33
    Increase performance from the 260 series by as much as 15%

    The modded bios will only give about 25mhz of addition clock speed.

    It also voids your warranty. Just a heads up.

    There is a BIOS recovery post in the modded BIOS thread. Hopefully he reads that.
