    Can someone with the .a3 vbios dump the bios and upload it or pm me and email because several of us in the forums need it for the driver downclocking issue. If you have a 8800m gtx, use GPU-z check you VBIOS and if it ends in .a3 thats what we need . Thanks.


    From Stoneyboy's Thread

    how to dump your vbios. its easy.

    Could someone with the newer VBIOS please dump with NiBiTor 3.7.
    You can get this Tool at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/V...S-Editor.shtml (or google for another link).

    Start NibiTor.
    Choose Tools->Read BIOS -> Select Device.
    Select your Card (Device: 060C unknown) and click OK.
    Now choose Tools->Read BIOS -> Read into File and save the BIOS to disc.

    Well i tried the flash and it came back with the message .. "no nvidia driver adapters found" . So the flash didnt work. I think it is becasue nibitor doesnt support our card yet, so the bios dump doesnt work right. hmmmm. Thanks for supplying the bios anyyone its much appreicated :)

    Use nbitor 4.0 and right click on the progran and run it as Administrator and it will work.

    Actually I had the same Nbitor error on my system. It doesn't work in Server 2008 x64 (and guessing Vista SP1 X64). To solve, simply boot from a WinPE CD and run the tool to dump your bios.

    You will need to rename them to ".rom" insted of ".bin". NVFlash doesn´t support .bin extension files.

    The sub vendor IDs on these .bins are from Clevo(1558) so just flash then and enjoy.
