    There are no public 980M vBios around. I had to make my own private vBIOS on my MSI 4GB card.

    @Prema does sometimes give his vBios privately tho. So lets see if he reacts :)

    However I don't know if his vBios is compatible with your card, since you only got a 4GB BGA GTX 980M

    Prema does not distribute his work publicly any longer due to abuse.

    Those of you in possession of his files are respectfully asked not to distribute.

    Any of you who do are part of the reason why Prema has stopped releasing public mods.

    People in this forum will never never give out prema's work without his valid consent.. So sorry for that.. My best advice is ask prema and be very very very patient.. I waited and almost lost hope but to my surprise he gave his spare time to me and shared his vbios... Try asking him nicely and be patient... Wish you the best.. Goodluck..
