If you mean a different BIOS than your computer then no.  What is it you want/need to do with your video card?

Most (X)VGA cards have up to 32K of BIOS code from C000 to C7FF that porovides the basic card services and emulates an IBM CGA for the bootup until Windows starts. They do not have a separate setup screen or any adjustable parameters there.

The video drivers in Windows (or MacOS) provide the basic VGA services and advanced resolutions, once they are installed.
