Dear Customers
For users who bought PX9800 GTX+ before Feb.15th, 2009 (Part No. PN#63B20292, 63B20295).

We firmly believe this issue does not relate with hardware design or materials.


We do apologize for any inconvenience to you. Please download new BIOS and re-flash graphics card by using WinFox II utility, the new BIOS will fix this issue caused by extreme–low clock mode. Sorry for any unpleasant use experience of the firmware issue.


For further information or services, please contact our local distributors.

There are no problems with the product warranty? If you flash with another bios, I guess the warranty but if you jump wrong with the flash bios provided by Leadtek, what? The guy who does not read regularly the sites of science, he ends up with random lags while playing without knowing why.

Good question ... Sony for example, replace the motherboard of its Vaio if it is damaged by a flash BIOS that goes wrong ... What about Leadtek? , I never managed to notch a graphics card in the flash though ... (operation carried out at least a dozen times on different NVidia 8xxx and 9xx)

If editing in the bios, that is with a flash utility under DOS and bios changed. In the case of a bios provided by the manufacturer is often a utility already containing the bios that can be used under Windows and it just launched.
