    I've been doing some overclocking and benchmarking and found a roof where I need additional voltage to go any further, I've tried multiple ways just to get a good VBios backup off of the card to modify with NBE and can't seem to get one. Tried NVFlash(bootable flash drive, dos backup command) and get a no Nvidia device found error, I've also used GPU-z and the bios it pulls reads as corrupt in NBE 6.0. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Yeah both programs should support the card I just can't seem to get a good bios out of it to mod, NBE reads the bios as unstable/corrupt. Can any of the other non-optimus r3 owners try to extract a bios using gpu-z for me to try? :D
