flashing NVidia cards is pretty easy. All you need is a floppy, NVflash, and Nbitor. MVtech has all the reference bios' you will need for both nvidia and ATI.

If the card uses the refernce pcb, it will not matter which bios you use, as long as it is the like. For example, you cannot flash a gtx260 into a gtx280 or anything like that, but you CAN falsh a vanilla evga gtx280 into an ssc, ko, or custom settings. if the reference pcb is not the same, or the bios chip is different, flashing with find you on the quick road to bricksville. For example, you most definitely cannot flash an EVGA bios into a Sparkle card.

We don't have an Nvidia flash guide here?

Floppy is the best way. I keep a floppy in the closet (lol) and bring 'er out when i need to flash something. I wouldn't attempt a cd or windows flash on any hardware worth more than $10. Another reason is to make an easy executable "blind" flash floppy set up in case something goes wrong. If you need one I can send you one.
