    I got my Gtx 970m from Taobao China and so far it has been performing well for me. I never had my temp go above 75 degrees celcius at all while playing Division 2 at med to high settings.

    I am thinking of finally flashing a new vbios but I've been hearing that there are 2 versions, the gysnc and non gsync versions.

    I don't know exactly if my card is the gsync or non gsync version. I just want to make sure I don't flash the wrong one and my card will be bricked as this is my daily driver.

    This is my Vbios version: 84.04.26.00.0B and when I compare this version in techpowerup vga bios collection, it seems I have the MSI, GTX 970M 6 GB variant but when I check gpu-z, sub vendor says its dell. so which one do I really have then?

    Also, can I flash Prema mod's or slv7's vbios for my card?

    Thanks in advance!
