    Why doesn't Asus give out GPU bios updates (like Dell for example) ??

    I think this would also help to fix stuttering issues (A lot of 8600M GT GPU got suttering problems, isn't this possible to fix easily like with a Bios update?)

    I just think it would be nice to get some more updates (also official GPU drivers,...)

    I wouldn't know if the BIOS can fix the stuttering. BTW the problem can be also in the drivers...

    You will find that in general ASUS aren't very good with driver and firmware updates...

    ^....this is true /sigh. I wish the God's of Asus would grant me a BIOS that locks the PCIe Clock and lets user control over fans. WHY ASUS GODS DO YOU NOT HEAR ME?

    I tried that once, and on the actual part where you finally get to email them, the part where you select your model and such, well, there were no models or anything lol. Even if I did get an email address to send an email that ACTUALLY gets read...they would toss it out due to the amount of technical information I would include showing how much I know is wrong with this and that and how to fix it :(
