    Hey guys,

    Has anyone found a working vBIOS to raise the TDP of the RTX2060 to 115W?

    I have tried a few ROMs from different manufacturers and all work fine but I am having problems with the type C/DP as they are from intel systems. Otherwise, the performance gain is about 15% for a few degrees higher temps.

    I have tried the Lenovo Legion 5 vBIOS but it appears that Lenovo is using some power profiles likely set in their BIOS thus the card runs only at 80W max.

    Basically, I need a stock 115W rtx2060 refresh vBIOS from Ryzen system that has DP over type C :(

    You can try to get the vBIOS from an Asus Strix G15 2020 owner. It too features the 115W 2060. However, keep in mind that the expense of raising the power limits from 90W to 115W may not be limited to just 'a few degrees'. As an example, the Strix G15 chassis when limited to 90W gets to about 74-75C, and when allowed to run at the full 115W, it reaches 86C and starts thermal throttling. So it's not easy to cool the GPU running at higher power limits for sure. What temps do you get, by the way on your A15?
