    No, should work no matter what, GTX+ and GTX will SLI together despite the different ram, different GPU code and nm size, etc. just as long as it's the same speeds which should be no problem...just OC the GTX to stock GTX+ speeds and you're good to go as if you had two GTX+'s in SLI, just can't OC as much as if you had two GTX+'s

    But you don't need to flash...and i would recommend against it aswell as flashing a GTX with a GTX+ bios could confuse it, as said above, the GTX+ has a difference GPU number, lower nm, and different ram
