can you be more clear ?
Or visualize clear ?

I thought this value was easily verifiable with HxD.. once you make your changes to bios this value changes, it depends on everything you changed, it can increase or decrease. using the part of the text that is not of real use, you have to restore it to its original value by adding or subtracting. a new check with HxD should provide you with proof that it is back the same as before.

Not sure if it pulls it from their servers, or it is required to exist in ROM. Given it answers with gpu/compute mode.
BAR patch usually came with a newer VBIOS , but tool is able to pull data from their server.
Its an nvidia tool after all.

I disabled my adapter and got the same result, Interesting though it looks like 0x1b06 is the ID for your 1080ti and mine was 0x1E07 for the 2080ti, I wonder if there is a whitelist that can be changed somewhere.

Sadly i'm with limited/weak gear & fully decompiling nvflash eats over 32gb RAM.
Its huge.
With mapping out progress i'm only at 2/20 , or ~30/200 commands.
Its really huge.
Soo it will need some time

I have RAM if there is anyway I can help let me know

Edit:

S:00,B:01,D:00,F:00 Is the same for both our GPU's it'd be interesting to see what it shows on a 3000 or 4000 series card

This is a god's work, it will be very helpful with GPUs like mine (ADLINK Quadro T1000 GDDR6 MXM-A).

Mussels · Aug 23, 2023

Now i just need something dumb like being able to make my 1070Ti identify as a GTX1080 (but with its GDDR5 ram) so i can SLI it with a real 1080

And probably have it run like ass, but yknow.

With this argument "--gpumode physical_display_enabled_8GB_bar1" you do enable the resize-bar????!!!!!

Hey just wondering if you can share a screenshot of this working? Also there is a empty setgpumode.txt file made when mine finishes, did your txt have anything in it?

So I ran it with --check and it just restarted the graphics driver? Is that normal? No errors, but no success messages either.

I have a Quadro P4000 8GB (MXM 3.0b | Pascal) so I don't really know what BIOS I could try since the P5000 has 16GB of VRAM.

You can try the P5000 vbios, the P5000 have similar set of memory config as the P4000, only a strap resistor on the board is selecting which memory config it's running.
It would be nice if it works, the 1250MHz limit on the P4000 is pretty constraining, this P4000 MXM was my test subject back in 2019/2020 when I was trying to mod Pascal vbios, so far when flashing the P5000 vbios, it wouldn't work.

If only my Dell Precision 7550 wasn't such a PITA to teardown in order to flash a new vbios (if it ever fail and end up in a brick), I would already have tried to mod my Quadro RTX 3000 vbios. I think that's one of the most interesting use of modded vbios, allowing "Geforce like" control on these cards (Pascal/Turing Quadro on which everything is locked, clocks, voltage, PL and so on) because it's a pure software lock with no workaround (unlike PL and voltage)

Sorry, theory is one thing.
It doesn't function - its not "any text".
Basic small checksums were maxwell days - tracked down TDP Tweaker's location , and offset compared for consumer GPUs
It doesn't function

Maybe user error, probably am missing something
But theory wont push things further.
Please provide examples, so people who follow this thread can use that information.

I think it is not really nvflash's fault
It tries to set a gpu compute mode and fails. Likely as ROM has nothing
I'll try to track that down and see what happens - but i think its just ROM doesnt knowing the existance of BAR.
BAR for example on 3000 series came with VBIOS XX.XX.42.
38 & 39's had the potential functionally but it was disabled.
94.02.28 didnt have it.

I made bios rtx 2080 Super Bigben.

Did you change cert names and identifiers or did you edit more and replaced cert.
What did you do ?

Wotwow said:
Log verify, does not want to flash INFOROM.

Parts of InfoRom can be exported with

I checked my logs and inforom is also preserved for me on stock.
Maybe it didnt detect a missmatch. Or its my modification skipping the replacement.
I know we can backup, change and push inforom sections - where it will fix CS itself.
There must also be a force override flag for infrom, like there is a flag to wake falcon

As for that,
i haven't really noticed specific changes there yet.
Mostly its holding Boardpartners card identifiers.
So far nothing special in there, to my eyes.

shouldn't it fail? how are you expecting to get a free gpu upgrade, 2070 to 2080? isn't that less cuda cores physically on the chip itself? man i don't understand this thread, either you are all way smarter than me, or I am just missing something.

also, most people I know with a 4090 limit it in fps or vsync it cause it uses so much wattage/already maxes out fps in games, so those of you going to full 1.1v 4090, i just don't know the point of that. lol

Yes, the cores are lasered off, but the 2080 Super Aorus BIOS has a higher TDP limit which mitigates PL throttling.

thanks, that does help me understand better. my 7900 xt has no such issues, it will just get 96 celsius hotspot when heavily oc'd, remain fully stable and no issues at all. but i prefer my cards to run cold, so i keep it on the default bios with a mild oc and a more reasonable 81 celsius hotspot. not seen any kind of throttling

I have a 7900 XT ref in my other system, and it does like a good undervolt with maxxed out PL which nets me the best benchmark scores.

yeah i have a 1025 unvervolt and boost to 2800-2900 on my 7900 xt, but it won't go further than that, i mean even if you removed PL or changed it from 15% to 25%, i feel like it would just become unstable cause the silicon is already being pushed pretty damn good. but i may be wrong on that.

i flashed my 3070 ti zotac trinity to bios zotac amp extreme, but the clock still 300 in stress

, i returned to original bios and is okay

Does anyone know why the gpu clock doesn't go up and stay at 300?
I'm glad I managed to go back to the original bios and went back to raising the clock to 1770 normally

ddu was used, I reinstalled the driver, literally everything possible and with the mod bios the clock did not go up, it just returned to normal after putting the original bios

You know that you can just change the driver string in the INF file to set the device name in Windows? NVCleanstall will even help you with that. It won't unlock anything of course. Some vendors of fake chinese NVIDIA cards have been doing that. The card only works with "their" driver, which has the changed name.

I have tried flashing my card however it fails saying eeprom not recognized. Palit Gamerock 4080. I succeeded with Nvflashk.

You can try the P5000 vbios, the P5000 have similar set of memory config as the P4000, only a strap resistor on the board is selecting which memory config it's running.
It would be nice if it works, the 1250MHz limit on the P4000 is pretty constraining, this P4000 MXM was my test subject back in 2019/2020 when I was trying to mod Pascal vbios, so far when flashing the P5000 vbios, it wouldn't work.

If only my Dell Precision 7550 wasn't such a PITA to teardown in order to flash a new vbios (if it ever fail and end up in a brick), I would already have tried to mod my Quadro RTX 3000 vbios. I think that's one of the most interesting use of modded vbios, allowing "Geforce like" control on these cards (Pascal/Turing Quadro on which everything is locked, clocks, voltage, PL and so on) because it's a pure software lock with no workaround (unlike PL and voltage)

--protectoff seems to have worked fine. So maybe i'll try to flash it, I can always enable the iGPU if I have to and flash back.

I agree. My Precision M6600 is one thing to take apart. labor intensive, but not tedious. I really don't want to take apart this 7720, it doesn't look fun.
I max out around 68C Hotspot when pushing this card in games or compute loads. It has so much headroom and potential. Especially since GP104 overclocks well, as does the samsung memory.

Basic small checksums were maxwell days - tracked down TDP Tweaker's location , and offset compared for consumer GPUs
It doesn't function

Maybe user error, probably am missing something
But theory wont push things further.
Please provide examples, so people who follow this thread can use that information.

oops!!! I hope we haven't already run out of ideas here and someone finds a solution to this soon.

Unfortunately, this is not a GSP hack.
For bios edit, a simple version of nvflash is better when they see errors.
This tool still does not allow flashing the firmware completely bypassing the GSP (Falcon).

P.S.
I'm sorry author for the truth.

rootuser123 said:
Result of flashing RTX 2080 Super Aorus BIOS on a RTX 2070 Super Aorus. Does the debug log output indicate the blocking factor is FALCON and not NVFlash?

It doesn't flash.
You must save your bios.
Flash.
To restart a computer
Then through gpuz to save bios.
After:
Then compare with your bios.

This is not hack GSP.
Use the normal version of nvflash if you're good at the Hex tool.

Is there a good place to discuss GPU vBIOS modding? When trying to find modded vBIOSes in the past I just find them scattered around. Is there somewhere I'm missing that all this talk takes place in? I don't want to dump my questions or requests here, except one.

Could I flash a TU102-300A-K3-A1 vBIOS on a TU102-300-K3-A1 with this tool?

Any utility will do if you use the correct BIOS.

K4sum1 · Aug 24, 2023

Well, it was a big issue with the 2080 Ti, you couldn't flash a 300A vBIOS on a 300, even though the 300A is a binned 300.

Although if this allows for vBIOS modification, maybe it would be easier to just jack up the power and voltage limits instead of trying to force a 300A vBIOS on a 300 card.

Downside: welcome to the same shit AMD has dealt with and second hand GPUs being fakes/modded to death

I'm all for being able to mod our cards, but seeing the things done in bulk due to eth mining has really soured me to it.

Not me. I just see it as another reason for a return if the seller can't be arsed to flash the friggin original bios, at minimum. This isn't a modding issue it's a marketplace issue.

This is the reason I joined TPU and it pleases me to see it returning. All you young kids have no idea: This site was literally built on this shit. That's not funny, that's a fact. Ask @W1zzard Long history there.

There was a time when I converted gtx 780 to TITAN.
Only memory error correction did not work.
Now in Turing I can unlock the increased cache.

But can't unlock double point performance.
I thought that these tools would be able to flash the bios bypassing the check, but they can't.

I checked my logs and inforom is also preserved for me on stock.
Maybe it didnt detect a missmatch. Or its my modification skipping the replacement.
I know we can backup, change and push inforom sections - where it will fix CS itself.
There must also be a force override flag for infrom, like there is a flag to wake falcon

As for that,
i haven't really noticed specific changes there yet.
Mostly its holding Boardpartners card identifiers.
So far nothing special in there, to my eyes.

I do not have a InfoRom from a quadro rtx 5000.
