Gainward has a bios upgrade for a G2Pro to V3.15.00.12.00. I have a G2Pro450. Should I upgrade? Has anyone upgraded? Anyone know what this upgrade fixes or screws up?

If your vid card works fine with your system than don't flash the bios.

Why fix something when it's not broke. You might just break something while flashing.

Definitely not. I absolutely never recommend anyone flash the BIOS on a graphics card unless they are having severe issues that cannot be resolved via any other means at all.
Graphics cards are extremely touchy about BIOS flashes and I've seen many many cards end up dead from what is in theory a simple BIOS flash.

Unless you are having severe issues with operability that Gainward has advised you cannot be otherwise fixed unless you flash the BIOS then I would not even consider it.
Graphics card BIOS flashes have always been a much more tenuous area then flashing the BIOS on a motherboard, and is not to be taken lightly.
