Flash bios on Palit GTX 1080 dual oc

[Kim Daggerthuggert ♣]

Anyone have experience with doing that?

Why do you want to flash the BIOS?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

For what purpose?
There is hardly ever any need to flash a gpu bios. So let us know why u are even wasting your time thinking about doing it.

because i want better performance :)

then overclock or buy a better card. a bios is not going to change anything substantial.

Another bios will apply/allow other clock and other watt and voltages. BIOS stands for basic input output system. Why will you assume it will not change anything substantial?

wow is that was bios stands for? i always thought it was a type of cheese..

so you think that flashing a modded bios is going to give you a massive performance increase? if that was the case everyone would do it. you need to do much more to achieve a meaningful performance increase than just flashing your bios.

specifically shunt modding. pascal gpu's are heavily power limited and have a hard wired clock cap of around 2100mhz. so even if you manage to successfuly shunt mod and increase power limits the gpu will still not run wide open. it won't even come close to matching the 1080ti. Nvidia made damn sure their gpu's were not going to be tinkered with to gain substantial perofmance by the end user. not only do you run the risk of bricking your bios you can also brick your entire gpu by performing such mods. if you are happy with the risk of destroying your gpu then you clearly have money to burn. in which case you are better off buying a more powerful card. less hassle

Not with a GPU but have used a modded BIOS or 2 for motherboards a while back, you should find a better forum than this one as the previous posts have been real helpful (not).

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/bios-modding/ has a couple of tools to flash the GPU's BIOS.
https :/tinyurl.com /yyascahb (google search for BIOS modding - remove the spaces otherwise steam removes the link), I used overclockers.com and win-raid when I was searching for a motherboard modded BIOS. I see the overclockers GPU BIOS modding guide is very old so pays to find something a lot more modern.

As always: mod at your own risk.

.

how do you claim that previous posts have been not helpful if you have no experience in the matter and can't provide any useful information yourself?

I lied (ish), forgot about when I was bitcoin mining back in 2013 with triple HD6970's, flashed a couple of the cards with modded BIOS's to boost hashrate which is where I remembered the flashing tools from.

Maybe join up here and see if they can help/lead you to more relevant information

There is a thread there that discusses BIOS flashing for the 1080Ti's so there may be one for the 1080's.

[Kim Daggerthuggert ♣]

Who talks about flashing it to a 1080ti? Why would the option not be another 1080?

You didn't read what he said; 'it's FOR 1080ti's, so there COULD be one FOR the 1080.'

I couldn't be bothered looking further for a 1080 thread (if there was one) so thought there may be one because of threads for other Pascal cards.

Flashing your gpu is pointless for gaming. Just OC the gpu. If you have a decent gpu that isn't low end crap, everything should be unlocked and available to change, Voltage and Clocks. Overall OC modern gpus is also rather pointless, all u do is raise the power boost and watch it oc itself, nothing more to do, except keep the gpu as cool as possible so it can OC to its highest

[tacoshy]

Flashing BIOS of GPU's is only needed if you want to disable the security features which exist for a reason.
You can sue it for overclocking but more for solutions like LN2 OC'ing.
With normal cooling solutions you hit the thermal barrier befor you actually hit a barrier where you could considerign raising the voltage.
