Here is another update for those interested in the effects of BIOS flashing in the long term.
I flashed my BFG 6800GT into an Ultra back in mid-July and my card is still alive and kicking ass!!
The current BIOS revision is version 5.40.02.15.12 and I'm running the card at 420/1100. I reduced the speed down from my original starting point of 435/1200 because I wanted to increase my CPU overclock.
For some reason, I can't have a high OC on both my CPU and GPU. Since I reasoned that my CPU would've been a bottleneck for the data-hungry 6800Ultra, I chose to OC my CPU from 2.8GHZ to 3.5GHZ and downclock the GPU to 420/1100 from 435/1200.
Overall, I want to report that the card is doing very well without any issues after having been flashed about 20 times all together during the last 5 months.
