    What BIOS version does GPU-Z report & do you have the 330w adapter?

    A few of us have had some good success with it so hopefully can work out why yours isn't playing.

    Yes I have the 330w adapter. BIOS 90.04.93.00.31. I did flash it back to the copy I made from GPU-Z after three restarts and testing showing no wattage gain. I just used the regular CMD prompt. Do I have to have it in Administrator Mode? Or use Powershell?

    I used an admin command prompt & had to use nvflash from the Techpowerup site ( NVIDIA NVFlash (5.728.0) Download | TechPowerUp) as the one in this thread kept returning an error.

    If you use the one from the Techpowerup site you'll need to run this first before running the flash command: nvflash64 --protectoff
    You can then use the flash command as normal. After you've flashed the BIOS & rebooted the vBIOS version in GPU-Z should be 90.04.97.00.7D

    Ahh maybe that’s the issue. Let me download and use the TPU NV flash.

    update. It went through but I only have a blank screen. I’m going to try and do a shut down and restart. What can I do if I’m stuck with this blank screen?

    update 2: shut down and started back up and the vbios is showing correctly and my screen is back. Let me test now

    Update 3: SUCCESS! Running TimeSpy and it’s 200w steady! Thank you so much!

    I’ll be honest. That first blank screen had me freaking out. I guess since it’s a firmware change a restart is always required. I did have a random hard shutdown this morning but I was OC heavy on the memory side. +140mhz/+600mhz on Forza Horizon 5. Hopefully it’s not a firmware issue. I’ll test tonight more on RL, Forza Horizon 5, etc.. Hopefully it doesn’t do it again.

    Yeah the blank screen got me as well, luckily I still got display through USB-C. I had a random freeze / shutdown as well & had to pull back my OC on memory and core by 50/10MHz.
