Modded NVIDIA drivers for Windows

Set battery boost FPS otherwise Battery boost setting is good as disabled since BB needs GFE to work.
As for Optimus flag revert them to defaults otherwise both iGPU and dGPU are used. Maybe that's the reason you can overvolt so high.
Set Memory allocation policy to defaults you get problems when running CUDA or OpenCL codes.
IN General setting I tweaked Standard Refresh rate from Standard to adaptive aka Fast sync to get reduced stuttering on WItcher 3 or GTA 5 on some scenes. Sometimes it goes below 20 and stuttering is reduced.
I think Powerthrottle turns ON when you use OCCT or Furmark otherwise its never used. I'll turning it ON and see if it helps with TDP throttling issue. I can't push my 980M upwards of 120W. On witcher 3 at high settings on FHD it sometimes spikes 119W.

 

I think the authors of both drivers should post their own results and same goes with the people using it, showing the difference between the modded and un-modded version of the drivers and why it's worth the bother than the official un-modded drivers.

 

The primary benefit is having a bloat-free, no-nonsense driver. The worthless payload of crap (including telemetry) in standard GeFarts drivers is disgusting. Brother @j95 mods eliminates all of the worthless garbage that adds no value and the junk that benefits nobody except for the NVIDIOTS. The actual system driver files are not being modded, just the payload of extra filth. This is essentially the same principle as using Intel MEI or WiFi "inf-only" drivers without the unnecessary software bloat, or de-bloating Windows 10 to eliminate the UWP rubbish that serves no useful purpose and killing all of the worthless background services and tasks that add no value. The minor bump in performance and improved stability is a totally natural and predictable result of crap elimination and reduced overhead. It has to be considered a mod only because the Green Goblin has mechanisms in place that have to be forcefully circumvented to allow a customized installation process that is more that what the normal setup routine allows. They don't want their spyware and performance manipulating feces to be removed.

 

@j95 drivers... No bloat options and as well helpful for owners who can't use normal drivers... See need (INF mod). XG drivers don't offer all users this needed mods. If you are stuck and need help... None is more helpful than bro @j95 if you ask in a polite and nice way.

For the records... Whats works wonderful on one machine doesn't mean it will works same way on others. Just take a look on Nvidia driver feedback threads.

 

Couldn't agree more...
@j95 drivers is surely debloated but doesn't not offer the stability when OC'ING XG drivers provides that + more positive results and with my touch (debloated) XG drivers.... means to me a perfect driver for me it is win-win situation

If you want adventure and have fun and gain a reward for your hardwork... XG drivers is the choice (yea... I love tweaking & fiddling with anything... I can't stand something called "stock"!)

If you want a piece of mind... @j95 is the choice

Spoiler: Driver Changes compared to official

Ok here is what they do on every driver I got the list from there dead website http://tweakforce.com by using http://web.archive.org/

Spoiler: Xtreme-G Mods Change List

XG drivers are tweaked to improve image quality and stability while performance may increase or decrease slightly depending on your system specs. A few XG registry tweaks include mods to the following:

Paletted Textures In Video Memory
Render Quality Flags
Target Flush Count
Texture Clamp Behavior
Texture LOD Bias
Use Cached PCI Mappings
Texture Memory Space
Downloaded Memory Space
Texture Precache
UMA Fast Frame Buffering
Main 3D rendering
Triple Buffering

Any more information you want to know.. ask them..
Here's what I observed comparing between official ones vs XG...
-Less microstutters
-Higher OC Potential (Gives me additional 50 ~ 90 MHz more OC) with the same overvolt (I use +75mv) going higher voltage gives me black screen
-Higher FPS [Not significant-(YMMV)] (due to less stuttering I guess you feel that you are playing at higher frame rate )
-Less latency per a frame (Means smoothie gameplay)

 

My gpu ocasionally hit the Pwr limit throttle and I got tons of choking and stuters everytime it does so, forcing me to both undervolt and underclock my gpu for it to happen less (there're games that just make it choke more than others even at the same clocks) and setting the [SET_POWER_THROTTLE_FOR_PCIe_COMPLIANCE_ON] didn't solved it for me. Do you have any other options?
I also tried both 417.63 beta driver and 417.35 desktop driver, and results are pretty much the same as stock driver for me - no changes in OC behaviour, I still get the powerthrottle problem

 

my situation is different than yours because my unlocked VBIOS somehow is triggering power limit all the time... by setting it to [SET_POWER_THROTTLE_FOR_PCIe_COMPLIANCE_ON] it stopped and never came back... no matter what load I throw to my dGPU so... I never said that it would work with stock locked VBIOS

 

Is it possible to unlock mod a Maxwell 1 gpu? I already have to mod my vbios for undervolting to happen (by tricking it to higher max boost clock, doing so cause "stock" clocks to run at a much lower voltage) but it doesn't seem to act like those unlocked vbios and the tools are for Maxwell2 gpus so I guess something just can't be done even those I have access to my bios

 

Google is your friend

it all depends on your GPU and your laptop and your BIOS... as VBIOS is within the BIOS Laptop... so you need to unlock your Main BIOS first before messing with the VBIOS. Anything is possible when you have unlocked BIOS

You might even mod your Maxwell 1 GPU through using Maxwell 2 GPU tools

Once again anything is possible once you have unlocked main BIOS...

 

I did Google-d for a bit, and my 840M does have the capability to be bios-modded to unlock TDP
And I can flash modded system bios (with unlocked options in the bios setup) with modded vbios as well, I just can't find the guide or tutorial to mod unlocking the TDP myself most of the topics online only discuss the more widely used gaming models and only provide pre-modded bios, no instructions
For example, I found a modded bios for another laptop here that has a unlocked vbios for my 840M
But then when I extracted it and replace it into my bios, most of the time the GPU doesn't recognize the bios and nothing worked

 

That is really good now we can talk first of all.... using vBIOS from different model of your laptop will always won't work due to different motherboard configurations and setup... you need to extract your stock VBIOS from your unlocked BIOS and then use Maxwell II GPU tools to modify TDP and core and memory clocks with voltages (I'm sure you know what I am talking about) then test...

I would also warn you that if your BIOS both UEFI & CSM compatible then it is highly likely that your VBIOS GPU contains both CSM module & UEFI module... so there's no guaranteed way to know which module are you modding it.. when modding your VBIOS.. test it by switching BIOS settings to CSM or UEFI and look if your GPU is recognized or not

Try digging deeper with UEFI Tool to find your VBIOS either CSM or UEFI module. But it is recommended to always mod your VBIOS UEFI module or both


From my personal experience I modded both VBIOS CSM & UEFI module to just to have a peace of mind

I have known the VBIOS location from Voltground.com (which is now closed website) but there's someone who recovered the way of finding the VBIOS in your main BIOS here.. https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?105366-G551jw-gpu-throttling-fix-mods-voltground-solution

If you could find your stock VBIOS from your unlocked BIOS then I can help you to mod your VBIOS by extracting the module file and sending it to me and I will unlock your tdp , voltage control, and increasing the OC rang limit

 

I actually extract the vbios out from the system bios using a guide on this forum here for years now, but only to undervolt (by raising the max table clock), but the removing TDP/Thermal/135mhz OC limit is the thing that's not apparently obvious yet and I can't figure it out also the memory clock OC can't be baked in either
Attached is my stock vbios extracted from the stock system bios, really appreciated it if you can unlock it my very first thread posted in this forum was also about my power limit throttle problem (which I found the way to compensate it by undervolting on here as well)
Edit: just to be clear, I used to extract the module by MMTools but the one attacted is from a dump using phoenixtool, although I checked and they can be replace freely in UEFITool so I guess either would work

 

I will look at it once I get back home..

Edit....
everything went well and smooth with editing your VBIOS and unlocking it.. so..
I have modded your VBIOS with unlocked voltage sliders (including very very small some fine-tuning voltage) & OC'ed + 50 ~60 Mhz on core clocks (very small non-significant OC) and I raised the TDP limit so... test it out I am sure that my OC & Voltage changes won't cause any kind of stability issues yet... I always recommend to use any kind of OC software (like MSI Afterburner, NvidiaInspector, etc...)

but...be careful...
YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE... I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF ISSUES OR PROBLEMS OR EVEN IF IT BURNED YOUR HOUSE

I'm just warning you here.. but I'm sure you know the risks

 

Well, first off, seems like I made a huge mistake one vbios I sent you seems to be the one that I modded for daily use, so it had my OC-UV on it (1215mhz at 0.975V) and changes I made that didn't stick anyway (100C temp target and 1080mhz memory OC - this is what made me realize I sent the wrong one because no way you know that I can stably reach 1080mhz memory). I also touched the power table tab, so I don't know if it ruined anything with your mod
That aside....
This is how it looks when my GPU constantly hit the power limit, causing it to drop clock, jump back up to max, realize it's still being pinned with the same load, and drop the clock again

Spoiler

how it looks like in gameplay

This is after I flashed your modded vbios, so maybe fixing it is not happening? and when I blast the GPU with 1.2V, it still hit thermal throttle at around 80C, so that's not working from the vbios either. Is this due to the system bios?
Also, about the voltage slider, I think it stay the same, and it retained a small quirk too: at first after boot or idle with no load, the voltage slider in Inspector is correct and shows like this

Spoiler

adding 25-400mv to 0.8V, pretty simple
But after load it would changes to this

Spoiler

which actually is the same values, but the number showing in Inspector doesn't match what showing in GPU-Z anymore
Anyway, thanks for your help I attached the "correct" stock vbios this time, can you checkk if that makes any differences at all? How about setting the TDP limit to infinite? (although my hope is kinda dwindled at this point)
Im aware of the risks (too high temps/voltages, burning the GPU/MB etc...but at the same time wanna reach as high as it can go, so if you can unlock everything there shouldn't be any worry

 

Oh wow... I thought this one was the stock ones as you said last time no problem... I will look at as soon as possible

it might be the reason that was not working because it was already messed with it that's why I asked a stock VBIOS at first place thanks for providing the screenshots.. that will really help

I will look at it as soon as possible

 

This is how modded j95 driver should be installed according to j95.
Copy all the inf files according to system specs such as Optimus or DGPU. I'm using Optimus so device manager events for 980M should look similar to my config:

 

Alright.. sorry for being so late.. busy life anyway.. I couldn't mod everything because I didn't have time to do so... I only modded the TDP limit and OC'ed your core clock speed I want you to test & see if you still suffer from PowerLimit throttling issues or not.. if no more throttling then I can continue to unlock voltage control and the rest.. the file is on the attachment...

 

It's okay, I'm the one getting helped after all
errm, when I replace this into my system bios and flash it, I got this

Spoiler

I think this is because I extracted the vbios module rom by phoenixtool but doesn't replace the module rom back using it?
Sorry to put you through all this but, can you recommend the best way to extract the original vbios out? I know of using MMTool, UEFITool and PhoenixTool but seems like they don't work well with one another
In the mean time, can I just copy the Power Table from the one you modded into another vbios and test it that way? Or is there more modification that isn't done in the BIOS Tweaker?

Edit: so I went and tried anyway, I'll attach the one I tried to mod if you want to check if that's enough but it doesn't seem right to me, and after I flashed it and test with the game, I still got those clock drops but GPU-Z doesn't say it's Power Throttling anymore

Spoiler

This is really weird I'll attach another "stock" vbios again, this time pulled from UEFITool

 

This is good news to me I expected that but I just wanted to see if it was reporting PowerLimit or not this happens because I raised TDP too high but seems the GPU itself doesn't want that because there must be a reasonable TDP limit as it depends on many factors not just GPU like.. PCI-e slot, PCI Connectors and Pins

I think we are working to the right direction here I will look at it again and will raise the TDP limit but not too much or high

By the way.. UEFITool is the best for replacing and extracting (through personal experience) and I'm glad that you did it

Honestly this is the most challenging vBIOS I have ever faced really 840m VBIOS is built as full locked down on mind + it's not just like 900m series GPUs (that can be easily modified specially the voltage control options)

I decided that I need to finish the TDP first and get done with it and then I will unlock voltage control options TDP is my target now... I will give you another vBIOS to test as soon as possible and see if there's any core or memory clocks dropping

Can you open GPU-Z, click on the "?" beside the Bus Interface entry in the main tab, click on "Start Render Test" in the window that pops, and let the test run while you switch GPU-Z to "Sensors" tab. Click the VDDC dropdown arrow, choose "Show Highest Reading" and give me a screenshot or tell me what do you see?

 

Well I can, but isn't it depend on what vbios Im currently running? I swapped back to my daily 1215mhz @0.975V after all the tests and GPU-Z is just showing the same thing that way (sometimes it starts off a bit higher but then settle down to exactly that)

Spoiler

So not all vbios was built equally then, because with the previous mentioned Acer Aspire E5-572G, they had a variant with the 940MX and can just adapt its modded vbios back and it still works, with all unlocked features intact
I ran the GPU at 1259mhz-1.131V (stock voltage and +135mhz OC) for about a year before those clock drops shows up, and this is actually a common issue (reported here, fix here)

 

Thanks after I get back to home from work.. I will work on your VBIOS

And Yes 840m VBIOS have different versions and you even might find a Kepler version of 840m VBIOS and a Maxwell version of 840m so... indeed not all VBIOS are equal due to OEM changes many configuration and setups

 

Thanks.
Also, I don't quite understand the point of using GPU-Z's render test? this is with the vbios modded to the same Power Table as the one you sent me to test out, and both at stock core clock/voltage and max OC/voltage, it doesn't trip the clocks one bit

Spoiler

But as soon as I try some of the games I noted to have that problem, it's still there (Furi, GTA5, MGS5, CSGO etc...)

Spoiler

 

Is there any way to tweak the power limits for Pascal GPUs?

 

I asked for it just to know what is your maximum voltage that the 840m GPU can handle so that after we finish the TDP limit issues I can start immediately unlocking the voltage slider so that you can have range of voltage adjustment to be available for you whenever you open any OC supported software so that you can overvolt or undervolt through software either Msi afterburner or Nvidia inspector... both will work I gotta be proactive here

I love & I always to use Nvidia Inspector because it just overclocking my GPU on the start-up and closes automatically and I use TS (ThrottleStop) for GPU+CPU monitoring on the taskbar

 

As long as you got unlocked main BIOS... anything is possible

I never really got a chance to deal with Pascal vBIOSs or even experience with it I really have no idea for Pascal VBIOS but according to my knowledge.. there's no tools yet created to mod Pascal VBIOS due to Nvidia VBIOS encryption and I won't buy any laptop with Pascal GPU on it that can't be modified... even it is the high end GPU

anything with word (stock) irritates me
I love words like (mod, modified, tweaked,etc.... )

 

There is Coolane TDP Tweaker, right on this forum, over on the Clevo section:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/mobile-pascal-tdp-tweaker-update-and-feedback-thread.806161/

 

notice.... you can only flash it through SPI programmer but thanks! wow! I never knew this tool existed ! but it is made only for those who know what SPI programmers is....

Try this one... and let me know.. I think I successfully did it theoretically it only needs testing from you so... if it still throttling your clocks... then I will begin to doubt or suspect that there is a hardware issue not software

but this is really my max limit to help if it didn't work...

Tested and working as Intended.. I enjoy the same positive performance that I was getting it from XG drivers and lighter version (more POOP is removed!) and no more disabling driver signature enforcement

Enjoy

Peace out!..

 

Well I always thought that it must be a hardware problem since no amount of software downgrade could help me avoid it
And sure enough, the problem is still there Im more or less tend to think of using software to fix hardware problem rather than thinking this is a software problem so I guess that's that then
But still, can you unlock other features like the core clock OC limit (more than 135mhz), thermal limit and voltage slider? Even though the TDP problem can't be fixed there're other games I can run at much higher clock and have no problem still

I tried a FireStrike run with the latest 417.58 lite mod by PureSoftApps and seems like it's not being recognized by 3dmark yet

Spoiler

https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/32305314?

 

Hotfix drivers don't get benchmarks scores and you get warnings. Always use WHQL drivers.

 

I will do that but since I am outside the country for 2 days.. so I'm away from my main laptop but once I get a chance.. I will do it everything from memory OC , to Core OC, to Voltage slider unlock + fine tuning it

 

I have to say the ratio of to alphanumeric in this thread is off the charts.

 

I unlocked 135Mhz limit lock and Voltage slider unlock test it and report back... sorry for the long delay that I have caused it to you... it is my jobs nature to travel alot within the country or outside

 

Seems like it didn't work for me

 

Flash it in safe mode.

 

135 limit doesn't have any effect with the regular method so... I will try hex editing then but about the voltage... seems like the slider it is working with you and doesn't reset but the problem it doesn't show the effect on GPU-Z That is really weird

Anyway.. I am preparing for another vBIOS for you

 

Test this one.. I did something with TDP including all other things test and report back try it with BIOS setting CSM enabled... if it doesn't work try it with CSM disabled option

 

thanks, but seems like I don't have to switch on CSM at all, the one I extracted is known to be used with CSM off and I've been in that mode already
It works! I can quite freely set the clocks and the 80C thermal throttle point seems to be no longer the case.

Spoiler

The TDP thing though... I'll do more testing afterwards but a quick test shows that default clocks and voltage is still not where it's at

Spoiler

 

That is really awesome news Finally! this was all my best really... I was saving it for the final challenge and I couldn't do more... I have been hard thinking for this problem for like.. all the time Thanks for reporting

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About the TDP... believe me... this is was my final trick to unlock TDP Limit..I wouldn't even do it for myself if it takes all those hassle for a vBIOS . I really couldn't do more than that .... it might be your laptop's AC Adapter can't give enough power to the GPU power demand.. I'm just guessing here ...

 

So can a GPU just suddenly requires more power that the MB/PSU can't provide enough? I switched from the standard 65w PSU came with my notebook to a 90w and the problem remains, I guess it can't be helped
Thanks for all your effort a final question though, can I mod that unlocked vBIOS? will BIOS Tweaker will switch me back to throttle by thermals?

 

I was just guessing I have seen many laptops when you OC CPU or GPU sometimes AC Adapter couldn't provide enough power due to increased demand after OC'ing CPU or GPU so.. I just thought it might be it but since you tried another AC Adapter...well... I guess that's all what I have really

Yes you can mod it as much as you like... and no it won't switch back to Throttle by thermals any more but even if it did after you mod or did something with the VBIOS.. well simply flash my VBIOS back whenever there's an issues

Tested and working as Intended.. I enjoy the same positive performance that I was getting it from XG drivers and lighter version (more POOP is removed!) and no more disabling driver signature enforcement

Enjoy

Peace out!..

 

You posted this somewhere, right?
Triple buffering is OpenGL only not for DX and vulkan.
Did you check out dithering fix by chef koch in regtweaks? I did that and my TV isn't having washed out colors anymore. I thought it was because of cheapo TV but it wasn't that. An unofficial fix after 4 years.

 

Yes I posted here the old version which is 417.58 but this new post have the new latest version which is 417.71
Yes I know about Triple buffering but this changelog is a copy from there website I don't want to be a person who plays with the information I take it as it is and I always post the reference of the information unless if it is something through my experience

About dithering fix...
I don't even have a TV but this will surely help me in the future when I have a TV

 

Dithering helps in projector as well if you're using HDMI. I remember my faculty members asking why your screen is washed out, I said it might be because of HDMI to VGA adapter.

Spoiler: XG Driver Changes compared to official

Ok here is what they do on every driver I got the list from there dead website http://tweakforce.com by using http://web.archive.org/

Spoiler: Xtreme-G Mods Change List

XG drivers are tweaked to improve image quality and stability while performance may increase or decrease slightly depending on your system specs. A few XG registry tweaks include mods to the following:

Paletted Textures In Video Memory
Render Quality Flags
Target Flush Count
Texture Clamp Behavior
Texture LOD Bias
Use Cached PCI Mappings
Texture Memory Space
Downloaded Memory Space
Texture Precache
UMA Fast Frame Buffering
Main 3D rendering
Triple Buffering

Any more information you want to know.. ask them..
Here's what I observed comparing between official ones vs XG...
-Less microstutters
-Higher OC Potential (Gives me additional 50 ~ 90 MHz more OC) with the same overvolt (I use +75mv) going higher voltage gives me black screen
-Higher FPS [Not significant-(YMMV)] (due to less stuttering I guess you feel that you are playing at higher frame rate )
-Less latency per a frame (Means smoothie gameplay)

If you want the normal XG driver version... look here...
