Hi everyone.
I've had this GTX 280 sitting around and I decided to see how it runs GTA V. It was fine bu I decided to meddle with it's voltage to see if I could lower it for lower noise. I managed to lower it to 1.0625 from 1.1875 and it was stable. Then I decided I need to lower the idle voltages but the lowest option available was 1.0375.
Then I went into the Voltage IC menu of Nibitor and changed 1.0625 to 1.0375 and the other 1.0375 to 1.0000. After that I went into the Voltage table and changed 1.06 to 1.03 and 1.03 to 1 to make it show up correctly in GPU-Z.
Bios integrity was showing green. Flashed it, nothing. Card tries to boot several times but nothing comes up, then the fan gets stuck at 100% and that's it.
I managed to boot into windows and I kept a backup Vbios.
But my biggest roadblock is The card won't be detected by the PC anymore. I've had bad flashed with both BV and AMD GPUs in the past but I was able to flash my way back to a functional card. I've tried he latest as well as older versions of NVFlash windows and NVFlash DOS versions. Nothing shows up in device manager, and I keep getting the error message "No NVIDIA video adapter was detected."
I've also done a bad flash to a GTX 260 but that was a 55nm card and I somehow managed to resurrect it.
Any ideas on how to get this thing working again, if at all possible?
