How To Vbios Flash An Nvidia Graphics Card 

Hey, I just need to say thank you. You have genuinely saved my Aorus Xtreme 1080ti! Since purchase (bought it used locally), the card crashed after about 30 minutes of gameplay. No matter what settings I used, I would get constant crashes. The card worked perfectly fine after using MSI afterburner to slightly underclock (about -50mhz). I came to the conclusion that if I flashed my card to a weaker BIOS, it would permanently fix my issue. I followed all the steps in this video (best one of the sort on RU-vid for sure) and flashed my card to the Non-Xtreme version of the Aorus 1080ti. Card is now perfectly stable! You have just earned a new subscriber, my friend. Thanks a lot :)

You made it looks so easy, finally gave me the courage to do the same, great tutorial.

thank you, today I flashed my Evga Rtx2080 Super from XC to a FTW3 vbios and went flawlesly thanks to this tutorial. Now the card is smoother and way more stable than before. I'm so happy thanks again

It's refreshing to see someone who not only understands technology, but can also speak coherently. Big thanks and big thumbs up.

I wish you could understand how much I appreciate you. I followed your steps EXACTLY and was able to enable G-Sync on my GTX 1080 MXM from Sager. My card died about a month ago, and was able to snag a new and unused one from Ebay, and was able to enabled G-Sync on the new card. YOU'RE A HERO.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. My GTX 760 kept giving driver issues. After changing the BIOS from the Asus stock BIOS to the NVidia standard BIOS, I have no more issues. I am really grateful to you.

This is probably the best tutorial on youtube right now. I got my 2080 FE to flash to the EVGA XC Ultra bios on the first try, now I can go below 40% fan speed!

This is probably the best tutorial on youtube right now !! THANKS !!

Best tutorial on yt so far for flashing gpu , nice job

What a great tutorial! You're suited for this!!

For those confused about why they're getting a "command not found", type in nvflash64 instead and then the regular -6 .

Thanks so much for the video. I installed the Asus Strix OC bios on my Strix advanced 2080 ti card and my power limit increased from 313w to 325w, so now I can overclock higher. Thank you soon much now I'm getting 3070ti levels of performance with my card

thanks for the clear explanation. turned my 2080ti strix oc into a matrix and it runs great!!

I love you so much, I was actually so desperate to find a way to fix my gpu. Turns out the person who I bought it from had flashed a higher end bios to the card and it was causing so many problems e.g clock to be stuck at a constant 136mhz causing basically any game other than like cs go to run at 5 to 20 fps

Very good video! I had a friend whose GTX980 BIOS got corrupted. Nice to see that the BIOS can be easily restored or fixed....

Thank you for the quick and simple tutorial, I successfully flashed my ASUS Turbo RTX 2080TI (which has lower fan speed of 27%) to a PALLIT Dual card, I am now enjoying much better noice levels (especially on idle, which is where most of my issues were)

I bought an GPU from aliexpress (probably used in mining) and its BIOS was all messed up, was able to put an original BIOS in it, thanks man!

Bro ur genius. THX a ton! With a new bios and new power and core voltage limit u can overclock way higher when using MSI afterburner. But be sure ur PSU is strong enough and ur card is well cooled.

Thank you! Very good tutorial. Finally my 3060ti Ventus3 is controlling the fans properly.

I realize this is old now and nobody might ever see this but I MUST voice my appreciation. In the process of getting Re-Size bar to work (with many hurdles, all of which I cleared over the span of ~3 hours) I got stuck on every setting being correct, but nvidia control panel and gpu-z both still showing it as disabled... Finally, after much fucking around, I figured out my 3060ti's VBIOS was not the most recent, but MSI's official software refused to detect a newer version. I found one on the very same site linked here, and followed this process, and everything works flawlessly and re-size (fuckin FINALLY) works! In short, a thousand thank you's!

the best tutorial in youtube and google! so easy to follow!

This video is so good it showed me how to actually do it, before this vid i used to take away the gpu from the motherboard and boot into windows with iGPU then use DDU to delete all nvidia drivers and then put the gpu back in the pc and then it would boot for a couple of seconds and i could go into device manager and turn off the gpu driver and eventually flash back to original vbios

I have the 3080 inno3D Frostbite (watercooled), and it startet to make spontane shot-off for the PC. The standby LED on mobo was still on ?! To restart the PC i first needed to cut the power. (take out the plug from the PSU) But after this guide, i now have a ASUS TUF bios om my inno3D card. Now i can change my powerlimit from 100% to 121% powerlimit, and it even runs cooler !! And with 220mhz extra on the boost :-D Thank you SO MUCH for this exelent guide !! !!

lmao your the same guy that showed me the very Dell 3060ti that I'm buying. I now go look up how to flash the Vbios and its you again. 😂 Subscribed

So if you flashed your bios, it didn't work and you can't boot or you boot for a split second before your pc shuts off, here's what you do: Crash your pc multiple times so that it goes into the troubleshooting menu Select command promt Type in DISKPART and hit enter Then type in LIST VOL and hit enter again Find the drive where you installed nvflash Type in EXIT and hit enter Then type in your drive's letter, for me it was C: also no need for \ at the end Now your directory should turn to that drive instead of X: From there you can lookup nvflash directly, or do it just like in this video, and basically do the flash process again using your backup bios ROM. I went through the process of figuring this out so you don't have to in case you nearly brick your gpu, good luck!

This is the most informative video on this topic!! Well done Ps are you meant to remove protection in the command prompt ?

Super and great Tutorial bro. Much appreciated.

bought a used zotac 3090 trinity oc like a month ago.. the dude must have somehow updated to none OC version.. Thank you now its oc version again and i can set power to 110% and overclock.. fps is 10% better now.. Thank you so much... the card get so hot like 85c i order new thermal pads for my card.. cant wait to change them

Nice to see the music in the background, great content :D

Thank you boss keep up the good work😁

Thank you for this - I'd downloaded the EVGA X1 Precision Software and it told me there was a VBIOS update available. But this BIOS update really slowed my card down so I wanted to revert - thanks for making a nice clear video. Also, you didn't 'mount' the C drive with the CD command, it was already mounted, you just changed directory, but great guide thanks.

Thanks bro finally some1 with a good tutorial

thank u for the best tutorial my 3060ti Aorus Eagle now become Aorus Eagle OC

this fixed my GPU thx man

thanks to this vid I have successfully flashed my gpu bios. bought a 2nd hand 1060 jetstream 6gb and saw a different bios in it I flashed it with the original bios. I searched for this specific vid that I saw couple of months ago. thank you so much!

Excellent instruction and tutorial. Thanks so much. :)

Fun guide ngl. learned alot thanks!

As someone that just Bricked Their GPU and sent it back to ASUS for RMA If you got a warrenty, you're good man. It takes alot more to break a GPU Than You Think. Mine was just Not good from day one, I think bad chips maybe

Thanks, Tech Jesus Jr.!

can i flash it without disabling the card? i dont have integrated video

Bios flashing can BRICK your card please be careful when doing this. I have had 2x graphic cards bricked due to flashing the incorrect bios. You will not always get the same results as Coil Whine so make sure you compare the different bios's together so you dont brick the card. In this case for the RTX 3060ti I'd stick with the Zotac for now unless you have the technical skills to fix a bricked card if you get that error. Bios bricking is not covered under warranty!!

Is it a general rule of thumb to only use VGA BIOSes from other manufacturers that use the same number of fans on their models of the same GPU? I mean like are the fans controlled separately or do all fans get controlled by the same settings so the actual number doesn't really matter? (ofc one should keep the power consumption in mind like in your example) I'm thinking of flashing a FE BIOS on my MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X for downclocking it because it's been running hot lately inspite repasting it.

thx, this worked, I finally have resizable bar

Thank you so much. This just saved me 40 or more dollars!

Best tutorial i ever seen

great tutorial .. thank you bro

Great Tutorial!

nice video! wanted to flash mmi rtx 3060 ti gaming x trio, with the MSI CENTER program, there is no real problem? or should I do it like you? but obviously selecting the update for my GPU type

Hey buddy . I want to know about 3060ti LHR . How we can break that lock ? How if we change their bios ? Is it possible? What is your recommendation or advice?

Can you use nvflash to flash the vbios on a card that doesn't have drivers installed? I got a gtx 980m on my laptop and I can't get modified drivers to install. If I can get the vbios flashed, I might be able to get it working, but I'm not sure if installing the drivers are required first before vbios flashing.

I Have Asus Tuf 3060Ti OC Model And Its A BEAST 💪

Could u make a video on editing the existing bios with the program "maxwell bios tweaker" - or whatever archetecture ur using for this.

Thank you. It worked for me. Unfortunately, my card's blower fan is still running at 100%. Back to the drawing board!

If you disable the card from device manager and don't have an onboard gpu isn't the screen going to go black? I am afraid to try this....

So, how do you turn of protection and flash on a Dell Quadro K4000M when you get this error? "Error: set EPROM protection function failed" and "Falcon reset control is disallowed"?

thanks thanks for the help i have the same problem

...dude, you have to say it can brick you graphics card, in the begging.. Imagine someone following this step by step and not realizing until after.. I got pretty close because, again what do you I know I'm on RU-vid trying to learn this stuff. Phew.. good thing I read @moose jesus commend XD Anyways, I left a like, thanks for the lesson XD!

Hello, I flashed my 3070 gaming x trio to the suprim x bios, everything seems to work but battlefield 2042 dont Start anymore. After flashing back to my original bios it worked again. Any ideas to fix it?

gosh, you just saved my life :D

Thanks Just Flashed my 1080ti to factory

my gtx 1660 shows up in device manager but it doesn't show up in anything else and i can't upgrade drivers bc it says there is no Nvidia gpu recognized

Great video!

important question, if i have one gpu that is working normally and another which has a broken VBIOS on it ( so the card doesn't display anymore) can i still use this program to flash the VBIOS back, even when i have two cards still in. ( im trying to fix a card which i flashed but doesn't display anymore, but my cpu doesn't have intergrated graphics, so i can't display through my motherboard) is there an option to choose which gpu is been flashed? cus i don't want to fck up two graphics cards

worked for me thanks

Does nonLHR BIOS update can be used for LHR version? Mine is Zotac 3070 OC LHR, they dont have LHR installer (they spcify : This is a vBIOS update only for the particular target model SKU.)

pregunta no es mas fácil pone r alguna grafica extra para tener video o conectar a los gráficos integrados el monito y asi hacerlo ???

Hi! I'm waiting for the Gainward 4080 Phantom non GS. I believe they're exactly the same and I feel like I should definitely flash the GS version as soon as it arrives. Am I right?

Anyone know how to fix nvlddmkm after vbios cross flash? My GPU is not bricked, I went back to my backup and everything is fine. I liked the extra performance though and would like to stick with the other vbios. Before restoring backup I tried DDU but still got BSOD in a game.

Thank you! :)

I just flashed the Zotac Bios in my Dell RTX 3060Ti but the fans do not stop spinning even configuring it with the msi afterburner, is there any fix for it?

I have a MSI RTX 2080 Duke, 3 fans. I flashed it with the EVGA FTW3 Ultra bios. It worked perfectly, I've been running it like that for around 4 months now. But now I'm getting odd crashes, usually when RT is enabled in games, It's also happening with fullscreen videos, RU-vid & VLC so far. It's bizzare, the only thing I can think of is the bios flash? Would it be recommended to revert back to the original bios? I have it backed up obv

Can you give tutorial or timestamp to obtain the bios so I can probably use it for single gpu passthrough for vms?

This is not working, and gets stuck on "Checking for matches between display adapters and images" please help!

Would you say this would shorten life of a card I plan to use to mining if I went to 110% on Zotac with an open case/ambient cooling? Or is the risk more so in the getting everything setup part. Great video again :) after watching your backplate video I'm also wondering if after a couple months I should pull mine out and check for that thermal pad oil like you had

how can I return to my orignal bios flash backup, if i try to do the same, it shows error "nvidia Firmware Update Utility has stopped working"

Asus laptops got a damned update of only able to clock upto 300mhz in afterburner and similar apps Was intending to mine ethereum but stuck at 41MH/s stock With ur tutorial i flashed a bios of another similar laptop with rtx3060 115w and same temps but able to clock high Thanks a lot man

what bios do you recommend me for gainward rtx 3060 ti 8gb ghost LHR

I have this weird problem with my GPU - the fans keep pulsing up and down if the fan speed is below 60. I've been thinking about flashing the bios, but I'm scared of bricking it. Its 1070 ti 8gb aorus. Any advice on which bios to download?

LIFESAVER! Thank you!

Question ! Can I use same bios - but modify fan curve and save it like that ? (GTX1060 3GB )

HEy i have a dell gtx 1080 OEM (blower) do you think i can flash it with a MSI model who is Fan edition and with the same video outpout ? Thanks.

Soo what would i do if the version im trying to vbios flash to has a different board id and the process is stopped because of it? is there any way to ignore that or would that be a really bad idea?

Understand that you need integrated graphics for this (or a separate GPU.) Disable the primary, and screens go black.. OR use safe mode and disable the gpu there. No driver woes to get you a black screen.

can i flash my vbios in my evga gtx 960 up to a gtx 970 or 980 vbios?

My laptop has blue screen vga clash it's doesn't shown bios version on GPUz. So does the Vbios can make it work?? thank bro.

Nice one! Can you always revert to the original bios or there's a chance of bricking the gpu forever? Thks

FYI : if the nvflash command doesn't work use command nvflash64

Can i flash bios with gpu inside but monitor connected to motheboard? to cpu gpu ? If yes how to choose in cmd proper card to flash? Since when im tryinng to to nvflash64 --protectoff and enter im getting error like cmd think i wanna flash bios on igpu how to chose my gpu ?

help pls! i got this error in CMD and i dont know how to fix : ERROR: GPU PCI Device ID mismatch.

Hello, I was just searching for the content of vbios, my laptop is 2060 graphics card, originally 80w power consumption, and then I brush 115w power consumption of vbios, power consumption is not stable, the temperature is high after falling back to 80w, please do you know how to avoid high temperature after power loss

What happened if you vbios a laptop gpu and then the vbios got corrupted how do you make it back to its default settings

I have an RTX 3050. It's TDP is 130W and I managed it to make it consume 155W on average in a game called "Assetto Corsa". It even tounched 161W!

Hi. I tried to do it based on the video, but I ran into an error. What could be the problem? Asus gtx 660ti gd20g ,ERROR: Software write protection enabled, unable to erase EEPROM.

Possible to flash a weak Quadro BIOS onto a RTX 3050?
