Locked power limit MSI Ventus card 5060ti

[jomarron]

Hoping to get some input on this.

I've bought a MSI Ventus 5060ti 8gb card for my son's new build. It's a great little card which performs well, but is held back by a locked power limit of 180w.

My plan then was to flash the card with a bios from another MSI card like the RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC, which has a powerlimit of 220w. Unfortunately I can only find the bios for the 16gb card, not the 8gb model.

So my questions are:

* Would it be possible to flash the 8gb card with the bios from the 16gb model?
* I suspect the bioses are the same, because when I tried to upload the bios for my sons 8gb model, it stated that the bios already is in the database, but database only has the 16gb listed = same bios file?
* If it's not recommended to flash with a bios from a different memory capacity model, any tips on how to find a bios file from a RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 8gb?

Thanks in advance!

Personally I'd wait if a 8GB vBIOS is available later. I haven't personally tinkered with vBIOSes since Fermi/GCN2 cards so no experience there, but I'm pretty sure that the vBIOS from a card with different memory capacity will at least cause problems, if not straight brick the card.

Thanks for the advice - is it possible to put up a request somewhere for some kind soul who has the card to upload the bios?
