is there inside all nvidia driver packages a rom file ? where is it ? how can I replace it with a different rom file ?

[ziomario]

Hello to everyone.

I've extracted the rom file from my graphic card Geforce GTX 1060 with the tool gpu-z simply by clicking on "save as file" located on the right of the bios version ; I have modified the internal code of the rom file and now I would like to use the modified version instead of the original one. I would like to know if inside the package of all nvidia drivers there is a rom file and if it is inside there,how I can replace the original one with the version that I want to modify ? is there a procedure that I can follow ? thanks.

Is there a reason you want to flash the card other than taking a chance that it'll brick?

I don't want to flash the card. Is there another way to do that ?

A rom (read only memory) file must be FLASHED into the card in order to replace the original one.

not only man. With qemu and kvm and libvirt can be declared an external rom file.

GPU passthrough with libvirt qemu kvm
