Default Bios Updated for 9800 Pro?

Are there any BIOS updates for Radeon 9800 Pro 128? I can't seem to
find a BOIS download section on ATI's web site. Am new to ATI cards,
and just bought this one a week ago. Thanks.

Is there a reason you need to update your BIOS on your card?

Video cards need drivers. The BIOS updates are for your motherboard.
You want the latest CATALYST drivers (avail. at ATI's site)

Video cards also have a BIOS, otherwise you'd see nothing on boot-up.

Still, they aren't updated very often, and usually only to correct a
problem, not increase speed.

Well I suppose it depends on what your looking for hehe. If you bought a np
and want to flash it to pro then go to the Rage3d forums there is a link in
a post called something like "How to flash a 9800np to 9800 Pro" In the
tweaks tweakers tweaking forum. I dont recall seeing any info on just a new
bios for the pro tho.

Thanks for the info. You've answered my question. Just wanted to make
sure, since I'm a new ATI owner, that I wasn't missing anything, and
that there wasn't some BIOS update out there somewhere. Thanks again.
