NVIDIA Has a DisplayPort Problem Which Only a BIOS Update Can Fix

[tulius]

I ran this on my system with an Asus Strix GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and it worked without an issue and updated my bios.

No issues reported

I've got the same board. Which software have you used to upgrade your Strix Bios?
I've got the Strix GTX 1060 6gb.

Well, I have the same VGA: Asus Strix ROG 1060 GTX 6b. Suddenly the DP port stopped working. Haven't tried with a new cable yet since there aren't much options here in Argentina.
Did change the NVidia software for the DIrectors and also updated the firmware with the NVidia FW updated tool.

Still no DP. Using now HDMI 2.0 with 2k and 120 hz instead 144hz available on my monitor.

I am trying to get my card to support DP 1.3/1.4 using the NVIDIA DisplayPort firmware updater. However I get an error: "The GPU firmware could not be updated" with no error code. I am on latest driver and bios of the card to my knolwedge, I have tried rebooting. This patcher does not work. BIOS: 86.02.39.00.22 [UEFI]. Driver: 31.0.15.2698 (GeForce 526.98). GOP: 30006. I am dual-booting Windows 11/Ubuntu. Tool downloaded from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/ for Windows 11.

Card is ASUS TURBO GTX 1080 Ti. Please advise, thank you.

Try using ASUS Live Update utility to update your VGA BIOS.

I also followed the first post of this thread to flash new GOP, and when I dump my bios using GPU-Z it says its latest GOP, but mobo BIOS doesn't and it still doesn't work. Any tips for how to manually flash GOP? Live update utility wont flash GOP.

Try to flash the original VBIOS:

Asus GTX 1080 Ti VBIOS

11 GB GDDR5X, 1481 MHz GPU, 1376 MHz Memory

Reboot and then try the Nvidia firmware update tool.

NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool for DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 Displays

Download English (U.S.) drivers for NVIDIA hardware - , , ,

www.nvidia.com

Make sure you run it as admin, and try it a few times.

If it doesn't work, try to revert to Nvidia drivers version 370 and then try again.

For several days I have been struggling with a problem when I start the game csgo / apex legends and turn off the monitor and after restarting the game is launched in the window. I noticed this after changing from MSI GTX 1050ti to MSI GTX 1070 gaming x. (I also read that this problem can occur when you have Teamviwer, MSI Afterburner - because I used these programs the day before noticing the problem, I uninstalled these programs). Of course, I removed the drivers that were with MSI GTX 1050ti with Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstalled + new current Nvidia drivers. In the csgo game, I have a resolution of 16:10 1440x1080 and the game is set to full screen, and in the desktop, the resolution is 1920x1080 and the scaling mode is full screen. Someone may know a solution.
I installed the nvidia one, but it didn't work, I have no idea.

When I installed this add-on from nvidia, it didn't show me something like in this picture

 

[Mussels]

The graphics card simply crashing can cause that behaviour
Is it an instant failure, do other games work?

If the displayport updater didnt solve your issue, this thread isn't the place for you to get your help - make a new thread with all these details

Po prostu awaria karty graficznej może powodować takie zachowanie
Czy to natychmiastowa awaria, czy inne gry działają?

to sie dzieje w grze csgo i apex legends ale tylko gdy wylączone i włącze monitor

[Finalizje]

this happens in csgo and apex legends but only when the monitor is off and on

Do you have nvidia drivers installed?

 

[mike246]

Do you have nvidia drivers installed?

yeah, I updated to most recent vbios thinking that was the issue after couple days trying with the bios the card had installed. I updated it this morning along with the most current Nvidia drivers and still the problem persists

 

[Mussels]

that new bios may be why it's not working, the bios may have a fix included

 

[mike246]

it would seem that way but the "failed to update gpu" message was showing long before the update. I thought cause the vbios was out of date that would be the cause of it failing, the vbios it was on came out in 2016 and the most up to date one came out in 2017 with the display port fix coming out in 2018 so it looks unlikely that the vbios coming out a year before would include the fix. really stumped. another under states he had same issue relating to core isolation being turned on in win11 but that option doesn't even show in my settings

 

[Mussels]

core isolation wont show if you have virtualisation disabled in your BIOS, iirc
(Which is default on my ryzen setups, at least)

hallo , i did try the tool for my 1080ti zotac original firmware , after reading about possible problems with monitors ( looking for a new one so it was a pure chance) .
I got the system checked and then "error ", as some screnshots here show too. I rebooted as suggested by the tool...aaaad ZAAC screen went 800x600 ( heck tools) without any other resolution available .. After fiddling i discovered in panel control that the videocard was deactivated ( by the tool most probably ) . Re-enabled, restarted , it looks ok for now , re-run the Nvidia tool and said "no update" needed.
How i can check that the tool did not mess up and i have correct firmware gpu ? Cause i fear a bit that tool since it messed already , just want to check with some other utility if possible .
in Nvidia panel control i did not find any related info.

The tool does disable the display while attempting to update, if the flash had gone wrong you'd have a dead GPU. you're fine.


I don't know what changed but i cant run the update on any GPUs here either, it's like it doesnt work on modern windows 11 or drivers.

I have an older os , helped most probably. but i did not received any "update done" message . Just when i did try second time it said "no need for update " after the reboot ( but before boot said "impossible to update" so really no clue , my gpu sure was not updated by me before ) , though skipped any other message .
Anyway also infos on nvidia site is wrong , providing it says " check and eventually LET YOU" update , the tool started and i had no mean of "choosing " anything ,system check and then error . So wonder if actually updated , or just labeled like so. But at least NO TROUBLES added EITHER ,lol

did you try to edit proprieties of .exe file flagging "compatibility mode" ( for win 7 or whatever) and then to run it as administrator?
