For several months I have been playing around with my new setup – nVidia 8800Gts and an Apple Cinema Display 23”. Both image quality and performance were superb.

However I had some problems. Screen was always blank during startup (BIOS and POST) times, so I had to use another LCD to see diagnostic screens or to adjust BIOS settings.

The bug was identified and solved by nVidia’s developers, and patches by video card manufacturers were about to follow in a form of F3 update for series 8800. However only EVGA (AFAIK) has updated it’s BIOS.

Today I decided to risk my 500$ card and to try modding the EVGA BIOS – I had success! So with great pleasure I present you:

Apple Cinema Display fix for Gigabyte 8800GTS
========================================
Works on:

Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GTS
GV-NX88S640H-RH
VRAM: 640MB

NEW BIOS Version 60.80.13.00.01
========================================

I have NOT tested this on 320 Mb version, so I cannot guarantee that it works. This patch is ONLY for GTS. GTX and OC editions are incompatible. I take no responsibility if you damage your video card, please use at your own risk.
