MSI 1080TI bios compatibility question

[Eli]

attached is the synthesis of the 2 original bios that I made from gpuz during my apprenticeship, tell me if it suits you? if not I send you the 2 gpuz screenshots of both sides of the bios switch​

Interesting how the ln2 bios starts off much lower

Ok the Lightning X bios 3661

MSI GTX 1080 Ti VBIOS

11 GB GDDR5X, 1544 MHz GPU, 1390 MHz Memory

and Lightning Z 3660

MSI GTX 1080 Ti VBIOS

11 GB GDDR5X, 1582 MHz GPU, 1390 MHz Memory

Are the exactly the same except the Z having a slightly higher boost clock which you could easily obtain with the X Bios using MSI Afterburner. If you were to cross flash Leave the LN2 bios alone.

Truthfully its not worth crossflashing

LN2 X bios 3662

Thank you for your return confirming low interest in flashing, and I think the potential risk that goes with it, or not. Because I was able to read that the problem I encountered with nvflash (latest version) related to the erroneous verification and comparison commands, is surely linked to nvflash itself: restriction on the part of nvidia... but not effective with from old version of nvflash. Did you read or notice this?

Yes the ln2 bios starts lower because it is the Founders Edition bios with the base frequencies of the latter according to techpowerup: 86.02.39.00.01: 3662, and my reading on GPUZ&MSI Afterburner. But this ln2 bios has higher power and voltage settings (core&vrm) under MSI Afterburner compared to bios n°1.

When I purchased this Lightning X in 2017, I tested the OC by switching to bios Ln2 but had a lower result compared to my OC on bios n°1 and therefore declined this bios, my experience in OC at that moment was not today. So I tried again today and I get a slightly higher OC on the ln2 bios:
Bios n°1 stable: 2050Mhz / 1.081v
Bios n°2 ln2 stable: 2063Mhz / 1.081v, the increase up to 1.3v (extended msi) did not allow me to go higher (bench launched instant bug), do you have any remark or idea to understand this? I am therefore content for the moment with this slight gain and declines the flash with the bios of the Z, unless someone tells me that it is simply necessary to force the flash with the dedicated command line and/or with a particular version of nvflash , and confirming to me that this is 100% sure, or not... .

On another subject, I bought an Alienware AW2721D, connected to the dysplayport to benefit from 240hz, but I can only use it under windows if the DVI port is connected to another screen!
Basically I did the recommended update "NVIDIA_DisplayPort_Firmware_Updater_1.0-x64" which allowed me to make this port work with this screen at this frequency, but I can't find any solution so that my 1080ti can work normally without additional DVI connection. I contacted the nvidia support is for the moment, despite many exchanges and tests, they have not yet been able to find the solution, do you have any idea? can you make your dysplayport work alone?

Thanks in advance

I don't know about nv nuances in regards to OCs, I just compared the bios file values and answered the question of whether you should or not flash. Only way to increase OC is to increase volts as well which the ln2 bios is for.
