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 Youtube 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 :)

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!

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

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.

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

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

[indoperfect]

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

Just flashed an Asus Strix 4080 Super (420w) bios onto a MSI Ventus 4080 Super (320w) with no issues. Big thanks for the help!

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

[happycat]

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

[temo]

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

[accelerateall]

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 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!

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!

[carpelunam]

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
