    Is there anyway I can downgrade my bios to 1.5 for the higher GPU temp throttles?
    Throttling at 76c is horrible. I am currently running the latest stock bios.


    EDIT: Disregard. Spartan hooked me up!

    Can anyone share VBIOS for RTX2080 as .bin / .rom file?

    Also - have non g-sync version of RTX 2080 ever existed in alienware 51m?

    Pretty sure Gsync and non Gsync use the same vBIOS. It's the firmware on the MB that mostly makes the difference there.

    if anyone still visits this post, I tired using 180w vbios with my 1.5.0 system bios and it was not happy, system would randomly bluescreen and restart normally when idle. So I'm back to running 200w vbios with my 1.5.0 system bios.

    Correction, just changing to the 180w bios screwed me up. I reflashed 1.5.0 and 200w, and I was still bluescreening, sadly I've had to upgrade system bios to lastest, and now all is good. So just trying the 180w bios permanently screwed up something . . .

    No, these are for the 51m R1 and the 2080, not the 2080 Super that came in the 51mR2. DO NOT flash these to your 2080S. Your GPU should already have a 200w vBIOS applied to it if you have the 2080S

    Thank you!
    Do you know which Bios version is recommended for the R2? I read somewhere that there are bios versions that reduce the performance of the 2080 Super from 200W to 180W. Is that true? If so, which version does that? Which version is the best (in terms of performance and stability) for our machine?
