Modded NVIDIA drivers for Windows

On the official release statement SLI profiles are not included, is that a modded driver with added sli profiles? Who is chef koch?

 

Former MSFT and Nvidia employee/developer. You can check some changelog where he said multi display mode bug when connecting 3 or 4 displays which were present 20 years ago are still present on nvidia drivers.

 

But... I flashed the 90W Razer vbios and the full 115W MAxP vbios. Both work. I just need to figure out why I lose mini dp functionality.

@JRey flashed his 2080 MQ to 90W as well so.......

 

That's suppose to be "Flashing Modded Bios Using Nvflash"

 

It wasn’t a modded bios. It was pulled directly from a Razer Blade Advanced.

That is where the confusion is. The whole purpose of flashing a "modded" bios is to fix things that do not work. And to unlock the cards full potential. That is what i was referring to when I made my post. I already know about cross flashing, we have been doing that for a while now. The work starts when trying to mod and flash. Does this make more sense?

 

Yea, that makes sense. I was just clarifying since it seemed that I was using a modded bios.
Regarding bios modding, do you know someone that can do it or teach me? I’d like to mod the 80 and 90w Bios to have a higher TDP and higher stock clocks.

That's just it. You are not using a modded bios. If you were, your laptop would have a black screen. And you can't even flash one unless you have a programmer.

Edit:
That brings us back to the original question. You can not mod the 2070/2080 Vbios and expect your laptop to boot. You could in fact brick your card or burn it up if you're not careful due to the cards from different machines do not all line up.

 

Nvidia inspector profile full explanation by Chef Koch https://github.com/CHEF-KOCH/nVidia...spector/nVidia Inspector Options Explained.md
It seems SILK Smoothness of 1 or 2 smoothens things for Witcher3, will test it out today.

 

This is true, however some folks at win-raid.com are managing to mod some vbioses while restoring the nvidia signature so that they can run. This doesn't make flashing a modded vbios any safer, as you pointed it out, we could fry are hardware.

Trying out non-modded vbioses from other laptop however is fine and can be helpful, like it was for me when flashing the 90W, I got a great boost in perf but lost mini dp. So I'm working on restoring mini dp so I can use that vbios. This could be an issue with the system bios and thus would not necessitate a modded vbios.

Work is currently in progress.

 

They test it on desktop only and they'll list specifically Notebooks compatibility, I tried updating GOP of my old laptop and only thing saved me was secure flash because I used desktop version GOP which secure boot enabled BIOS didn't accept.

 

Really? So what your saying is....People on win-raid.com are modding the 2080/2070 Video bios. We are not talking about the system bios correct. The same Vbios files that no one is able to mod. Talking about 20 series cards only. Nothing before them. The same one that has Falcon enabled which also keeps track of flashing while blocking all modded Vbios version's of the same Vbios. The same Vbios that if you use nvflash to dump and mod which by the way is not complete, so it's already messed up....

Just making sure we are talking about the same thing.
And if you are correct, then point me to that thread where they have a "working" modded Vbios that is flashable using factory nvflash, modded nvflash, or programmer.

As to the warning....If you cross flash cards that are not identical you tend to lose things. In your case maybe it's just DP, but it cn also pertain to the correct voltages for your video memory, sensors setting or using the wrong temp values. Example: Your card thinks it's running at 70C when in fact its running 100C ,but software says 70C as well. That goes for the vrm's as well. This is just an example as to why some files will work better than others as well, while others will perform worse on another pcb other than it's own.

 

Yes but you can disable secure boot right? And regarding GOP, I still not sure if that portion contains anything to do with mini dp or if its the nvidia signature portion of the firmware...?

sorry still learning the more deeper side of things when it comes to vbios/bios modding and enjoying but need more time

 

The warning is regarding the full MAxP vbios, its a different board id, its not safe in my opinion. Like you say, it coulod be even reporting incorrect data

The 90W is from another Max-q card so its respecting the limitations of max-q and I encourage users to use this one only for now, however you lose mini dp.I've used this vbios long enough to feel its a safe option.

this is from Lost_n_Bios @win-raid.com: "unsigned vBIOS can possibly be gone around, you'll have to ask about that one in the vBIOS/GOP thread here, we have some real pro's here that could look at the BIOS for you and tell you how to remove or replace signature after edit I'm sure.
People edit NVIDIA vBIOS often, with many various tools, so I'm sure it's probably possible."

So yes we are talking about vbios but I do apologie as you can see above he is only speculating that this might be possible. And also he is probably referring to the Pascal cards. although he knows I have Turing.

That being said some guys at win-raid are ex nvidia employees and know a great deal about whats going on and help bypass some limitations

And again sorry, I do not mean to propagate false information and I will be more careful. I guess I was reading in it with too much hope we can mod the 90W to restore mini dp and maybe should drop the whole thing unless this can be fixed within system Bios. Then yes it might be fixable

As a side note I always use Bios : Overall Bios of the whole machine ------------------ vBios: nvidia firmaware.

Hope this clarify a couple of things

 

I had this long reply, but deleted it....

Short version.

Sorry, but no one has a modded 2080 Vbios. That's just a fact. Flashing another bios is not flashing a modded one. And GOP has nothing to do with Nvidia bios flashing. And an EX employee for Nvidia is not throwing around a signing key + Software unless they want to get sued. Those keys are specific to where they come from. And if he had one, he would have modded your Nvidia Vbios and flashed it legit in all of 10 minutes.

I'm just saying....

 

I think nvidia developers use modded vBIOS themselves to get rid off the throttling mess after they determined what level of performance is best for consumers to force jump ship to RTX from GTX. Once the objective is done, they ship throttled mess to us.

 

Then it wouldn't be a modded bios my friend....

 

Yeah it will be "Just works vBIOS"

 

Has anyone tried running the deskop vbios of the 2080 on the MXM 2080? There will be a boar id mismatch but I imagine is still "flashable" with the patched nvflash64p...

 

We're getting off-topic a bit here, folks. If you want to discuss VBIOS modding, etc, please create a new thread so we can keep this one focused on modded drivers.

 

via school or by yourself? Any tips where to start?

 

Yes. It didn't pan out.

 

The folks who mod the desktop software need to include the USB-C driver for RTX cards. If you take the official driver package and extract its contents, what you need is in the "PPC" sub-folder. It took me a while to figure out what the unknown piece of hardware was in my device manager. It's even stranger because my RTX 2060 doesn't have a USB-C port on it, yet it still looks for the driver.

 

USB-C port? huh? what for? i can only imagine that being useful for troubleshooting during GPU development...

 

The best thing you can do to make Witcher 3 smooth is installing it on an SSD and using an FPS limiter with good frame pacing such as RTSS (the built-in limiter has terrible frame times). It's general advice that is applicable to all open world games that constantly stream data in and out as you navigate.

It's a VirtualLink port for VR headsets.

 

You can delete only NView,optimus,nvhci,nvvad,GFE,Shield for RTX cards rest of the folder are needed for proper working of Tensor,RT and standard Nvidia CUDA cores.
ON Pascal cards you can remove most of the things excluding USBC drivers/placeholder for display driving through USBC ON GSYNC based laptop or desktops.
On Maxwell and below, keep only display.driver,HD audio and Nvi2 folders. Rest folders can be deleted.

 

I fixed it. Reverted back to 391.35 driver with bare install and enabled SILK Smoothness of 2. Now the games flies even Hair FX or whatever turned to High with 4x AA. For now, I disabled HairFX since I don't mind losing it and never looked at Geralt's or any character's hairs. The game is still on HDD.
I use VSYNC with Max FPS to rendering turned to Max(980 can max out to 60-~68FPS), so for testing I switched to 60 FPS for now.
There is no stutters like 418.91 driver.
It seems to me SILK Smoothing is broken on 419.xx while it worked flawlessly on 417.71WHQL. Oh well, typical Swiss cheese!

 

Interesting... How do you think a 2080 full laptop (Non MXM) would behave with a vbios from 2080 MXM? Or is that even posssible?

 

You might miss some ports because of ID mismatch. Better to find with same ID for better results.

 

It did not pan out either.

 

Little update for Optimus users on Maxwell 2 GPUs;

1. The 418.xx are buggy and I reverted back to older 39x.xx drivers
2. Changed Adaptive power mode to Optimal because 4xx has a bug wherein a application that used dGPU and after closing the same app, windows explorer still forces the usage of nvidia GPU.

 

Nvidia use all their resources now on Turing for the time.. Lower than expected performance from new features, bugs + too high prices on their newest and shiny won't exactly push the sales of the RTX models.

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...

^

The setup.cfg appears as 419.17 instead of 419.35.

Its a copy paste from the previous driver and a typo? Or you uploaded the wrong drivers?

 

Oh wow... Good catch ! I will reupload it with a fixed ones but I think it won't cause any issues since driver files are 419.35 it is just cosmetic thing setup.cfg files are used the same all over the versions.. I usually edit the version number inside the setup.cfg file to keep it simple & debloated since nvslimmer doesn't debloat enough. Anyway I will do it after 10~12 hours.. I'm not at my home currently

 

i did edit the setup.cfg with notepad++ so it would be 417.35! No worries for the typo! Thanks for the drivers. Did use DDU 1.8.0.0.9 and its working flawlessly!

@6.|THE|1|BOSS|.9 Nvidia iCafe driver 419.26 WHQL w/o Telemetry follow this link Station-drivers
@Mr. Fox @Raiderman Newer Win 7 SP1 w/ August 2018 updates integrated by Microsoft, so applying newer updates will not increase SxS that much. If you want WinSxS cleanup use Harkaz Rebase tool from MDL forums or use scarface's W7 ISO with rebase integrated.
https://www.station-drivers.com/ind...&view=topic&catid=3&id=171&Itemid=858&lang=en

Nahimic users who has Realtek Audio ICs can use newer UWD drivers which comes with UWP app support -> here<-

 

That's awesome! hmmm I'm thinking of trying this icafe drivers and might OC more my GPU... might work will test in the end of this week since theoretically this driver may decrease power consumption which will decrease temperature too... might allow more OC at the same overvolted voltage

 

I haven't downloaded it yet because they didn't solve FF cursor corruption and stutter issues since 3 months after they fixed Edge and chrome stutter and BSOD. I'm still on 391.25 which can play Resident Evil w/o any Day 1 updates. Dx12 is a disaster on Maxwell. RE needed 11GB for ultra, even on high settings consuming 7.3GB VRAM it is getting stutters when switching from game to pre-rendered cutscenes.

 

I believe these are the same that @Ultra Male already linked.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/nbr-windows-7-clean-installation-guide.781213/page-8

They have built in telemetry and ZERO USB 3 support, so they are pretty much useless.

 

No, These are updated ISO with 2018 updates integrated by MSFT in under 4GB ISO, we can't do it even if we use NTlite to add updates. Win SXS size will be under 8GB. But I was able to boot into W7 on USB 3/3.1 after Intel usb driver was added.

 

I clicked to download win 7 pro, and it was 5.5 GB, and had the exact file name of the Iso linked by Ultra Male. *shrug*

I didn't the whole thread, yeah its the same thing.

 

it locks my GPU frequency to default or stock frequency... even though it is OC'ed through NvidiaInspectore... it doesn't use my OC'ed frequencies... useless for me really

 

well....that driver WAS specifically made for energy saving purposes so i didnt expect any performance wonders from it

Hello everyone, I've been looking like crazy for many places a compatible controller modified for the 9800m series gs, gts, gt ... but I have not had any luck, (I know the video card is very old -_-) but I would like to know if there is something or some way to make it compatible with more recent drivers for windows 10 64bit, the last official drivers were 342.02 but I would like to update them for my brother's PC .. Is it possible to make a modification? because I tried it and I had no luck. thanks and regards
Excuse me for my bad english
