9800m GT going out already?

I posted a GPU-Z pic of the VBIOS mine came with. Your gamble

yeah, just was wondering if you could tell by the picture... Still debating...

My bios version is 011.020.000.008.000000. I see nothing like that on the card. If the seller can install it and run GPU-Z that would be your best bet.

I would but I realized that its a 512mb version... (or at least thats whats advertised...) So not going to bother. Still on the lookout for a red one!

Hey guys, new here, first post, woop woop, just wondering proticakid if there is/was a difference between the two cards you tried apart from the color and one working and one not. Was the vbios different or anything else?

Yes the VBIOS of both cards was different. In my pics it shows the VBIOS version of the working card. I forget what the VBIOS version was of the non-working green card.

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the vbios would you. You see I've aquired a green version of the 4850m from a guy who took over my local IT shop and didnt have a clue what it was (got it dirt cheap) but no video. So I thought I'd try a blind flash.

Sorry it took so long. Below is the link. Use it at your own risk.
