got a 1080ti with a (probably) bricked bios. Anybody willing to help out a total noob?

[shactheorb]

Bought pretty much this EVGA FTW3 1080ti a while ago for $100. The ebay seller told me that a friend of theirs tried to use it for mining, but could never get it to work, and then when seller bought it they couldn't get it to work in windows. I got it because it sounded like a bios issue, and the card is Dual Bios. I got it and both bios' had the same issue. I'm going off the presumption that the seller was telling the truth and that the friend just mucked around in both.

I have some experience in bios reprogramming and have a cheap bios programmer clip (if that's useful), but just assume I'm a total noob for most things. I'd really like to get this working if I can.

I have been able to boot into a system with it inside off of a spare 650ti I have, and windows detects the card in device manager but "with issues". Unfortunately I don't have an igpu or AMD gpu.

Feel free to ask questions, I can provide screenshots or images. Thanks!

Hi,
Think instructions are there but here's the master vbios

Whether it was to improve your thermals, your performance, or both, you edited and tried to flash a new BIOS for your GPU but it didn't go over so well. Your PC is now currently failing to POST and your expensive parallel processing monster is nothing more than a big, bulky, oversized...

Thanks! I've run into an issue where it says "the pci bar assignment for the processed device is invalid" whenever I try to run any commands in NVflash, any idea what that could be?

@eidairaman1 may be of help here, he's helped with many VBIOS issues.

Hope he sees my tagging and can be of some help, I haven't personally flashed newer Nvidia GPUs than Kepler (600/700 series) so I have no clue about newer cards.
