vbios cross flash

Weird. I'd try to OC it manually though.

I did and got some better results but not by much, lets say 1750~1800mhz from the 1695-1710 range

hi @eidairaman1 sorry to bother, I know you have a lot of experience on this.

Is it safe then to use the same brand, like Zotac on this case, to flash the gpu?

You know what: the reason i had successful BIOS mods is because i had RE (reference) cards, not custom PCB. That's why it was easier to flash to any other RE VBIOS

I understand, but I also know that the power limit should be between 350 and 385w for this card and im lower than that 300~320, do you think the boost will be too little even on this case?

It's that low because that's what the manufacturer determined was safe for that cared based on the components and cooling used on the card. If you wanted a higher power limit, you should've bought a card that uses better components and cooling, instead of dicking around with BIOS flashing that at best will have no effect and at worse will brick the card.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T TRY TO FIX IT.

Ok Since you want to proceed there is extreme risk of bricking, you must have a disaster recovery method in place (spare gpu/display adapter, AMD APU/intel core i cpu).

Get gpu- z screenshot then go to the advanced tab and get screenshots from there, click on the Chevron "V" and get screenshots from each menu option, if there is a scroll bar use it to get more data.

I just helped a user with a XFX RX 560D unlock to a RX 560 via crossflashing but he gave, way more data than I requested and it helped because the internal P/N I could compare between the 896SP/14CU to a 1024SP/16CU card. The bios info must be compared first.

And instead of hijacking this thread just start a fresh 1 and tag me into it like this enter @eidairaman1

You actually can crossflash between similar models, it's quite common and i've done it myself.
You cant modify them, and can only flash a closely matching BIOS (same GPU with different clock speeds/power limit/fan settings)

The catch is that if the model you're flashing to has different display outputs, some of your outputs may not work. Some combinations led to only a single working output.


The advertised boost doesnt match reality, mine claims to be ~1800Mhz but boosts well over 2GHz if i dont reign it in.
450W is more than enough for a 3090, i have mine on a 350W BIOS and underclock it from there, you might get 2% faster for that 100W.

Hey I'm wondering the model of cards you succeeded cross flashing and, which NVflash you used? I tried to flash Inno's 3060ti bios into my ASL 3060ti(both of them were the derive of Palit design), but falied with nothing happened.

Leave it alone, it's a hardware safety limit that the bios cannot overcome.

I've used RE cards - reference (not FE, founders)


You need matching hardware, and with RE cards that's guaranteed to find

Hello everyone!
I'm asking this if anyone can answer me 'cuz I couldn't find anything on the net about crossflashing a nVidia card.
I'm more experienced to AMD cards and I know I can flash a rx 580 bios on a 570 one for example.
So here is my problem:
I have an Acer Nitro 5 laptop with a RTX 3060 mobile but it has 2 defective memory modules (C0 and C1 on mats).
Considering those defective modules are the last soldered on the motherboard (following the diagram about memory location on nvidia cards)
I wonder if a can flash a RTX 3050 or 3050ti BIOS on the card so I can use the laptop GPU again (knowing 3050s only use 4gb of GDDR6 ram instead of 6gbs on the 3060m).
I plan on ordering an EEPROM Bios flasher and do this trick if it's possible as I saw on the net nvidia is re-using some defective 3060 for some 3050 models on the market.
I'm also planning on ordering 2 working memory modules if this method isn't working so I hope someone could answer me please.
Thanks

No, those GPU's are different not just the VRAM
