    Not sure what happened my question but I am not able to nvflash my 260m with a modded bios or faster with more voltage.
    What the procedure and the difference between this card and say one used in an alienware the unit is from Germany.
    Tried different force commands with no luck. Even a program that will allow voltage increase.
    Has anyone a modded BIOS that will work?

    Why not save your own bios, adjust the things and flash it back?

    ASUS sucks because they integrated the vBIOS in the standard BIOS so the only way to do it is somehow pulling the vBIOS out of the bios and then putting it back it. If you know how to edit all that stuff then see my thread that i made on overclocking the 260m in hardware section....its a very complicated task well above my head.

    Nvflash should work. You can save your bios with it. Then you can adjust the clocks/voltages in nibitor. and you can reflash your card with the modded, yet original bios.

    ASUS G51j vbios is in the actual BIOS it doesn't have a vBIOS chip. If you go to my thread someone made a photo showing where on the card the vBIOS is supposed to be. Check it out and you can see if your card is missing it. If so your screwed
