    Does anyone know if the 9500t VGA Bios is bound to the SYSTEM Bios.
    I have a 8600m gs, and want to do bios based overclocking.
    I have tried using nvflash to grab the VGA bios and everytime it fails.
    It specifically states the eeprom cannot be recognized.
    Can anyone help me out here?

    I believe most mobile CPUs and GPUs are tied into the system BIOS. For overclocking the GPU, try Rivatuner.

    I am using riva tuner, but i would like to use the 163.44 forceware drivers for bioshock and maintain my overclocks. Unfortunately overclocking is disabled on the 8600m gs with those drivers. I have heard of other 8600m gs users flash a changed bios of their vga to maintain their overclock settings.
