    does anybody know if new pascal cards can be flashed from Gsync to non-Gync?

    heard a rumor that it is possible, unlike it was with Maxwell. @Prema @Meaker@Sager @woodzstack. do you guys know anything about it?

    Yeah but the wrong file in this case can brick your card and my way gives a way to test and recover with a flash.

    i am guessing nvflash has protection for this kind of things. it would not allow to flash a G-sync bios to a no G card at Maxwell.

    Oh you can flash any file you like if you force it (which you will since the ID will be different) so this is a very fast way to brick your card indeed. You have been warned.

    I modded the MSI vbios awhile ago and flashed it, got black screen on boot.
    Basically it was a brick, I could only fix it with flashing back a default vbios with a programmer.

    These new vBIOS's have too much cancer and spyware in them... Flashing left and right isn't a good idea..

    Even Prema has not been able to unlock them yet..

    There is so much stupid nonsense going on with NVIDIA that even if one defeats the Falcon malware implant there is no real guarantee that a vBIOS mod that works right today is going to work right tomorrow. The Green Goblin is lead from the top-down by weasels and crooks. They can use their SMI malware to manipulate vBIOS firmware and alter GPU behavior through their cancer-bot drivers. And, guess what most gamer-boys wet their pants about and trip over one another to hurry up and try out? LOL... yup, drivers.

    This is why VEGA must crush Pascal and then NVIDIA will be forced to innovate.... Not that they will considering how many Fanbois they have!
