1080 Ti bios flashing

geordiejc · 9 Apr 2017 at 19:27

If i got a copy of the Asus ROG Strix OC 1080 Ti bios and flashed the bios of the Asus ROG Strix (non OC) 1080 ti would i essentially have a Asus ROG Strix OC 1080 ti? and is this possible ? if so , how likely is it i'd bork the card?

Why bother?

The OC version just runs higher boost clocks. Chances are the cores are completely random.

Just increase power limit to it's max and overclock. Unless the OC version allows more voltage (I doubt that)

Higher base and boost clocks. I think
they both have same tdp/powerboost capabilities. So just comes down to silicon lottery and where ur card is stable at.

No need to brick your card. The stock bios will always work better. All 1080ti are the same and under water all overclock the same, while all are lock at 1.093v. The rest is marketing to justify the pricing.

The only way you can "brick" your card is if you manage to pull the plug mid-flash... even then as long as you have a secondary gpu (or cpu with vga) you can connect up a monitor and re-flash the card

Having said that, it is pointless to flash the strix oc bios on to the regular strix when you can achieve the same thing with afterburner and theres no risk of the card dying with the "wrong" bios and getting an RMA refused.

Yeah exactly that, not worth it to be honest.

Just overclock it as makes zero odds.

curious if there is a bios editor for pascal yet ??

All that this will result in even if you do it successfully is a card that runs even hotter than normal. It will boost more but temps will always be a problem with FE cards. Without the cooler you are not really achieving much.

I think someone needs to re-read the first post

Nobody has managed to decrypt the bios a year now. So don't expect it to happen.

the Normal gtx 1080 ti strix bios has 300W tdp limit, instead the OC version bios has 330 W tdp limit.
So is possible to flash the gtx 1080 ti strix OC bios on the normal one?

LeMson · 29 Jul 2017 at 00:40

Brake out the liquid metal and power mod the card :-D

You can flash it yes.

In reality you can flash any 1080Ti bios onto any 1080Ti. Quite pointless though.

Silicon lottery matters more tbh and even then doesn't provide a great lead in overclockability. Look at the binning the HOF cards go through and kingpin and they are only guaranteed to 2025 and i can get 2075 easily enough underwater. Although they probably will be better for LN2 but case is for gaming not a great amount is in it.

Not quite true as if different cards have different outlets then you may find some of your outlets don't work.

thanks to all, anyway it's 100% sure I can use the strix OC version on the normal one yeah? because 300 tdp limit is really restrictive the card can give more

Hi guys, i have a stock Asus 1089ti rog strix oc edition.. I can't get it it to hit more than 2030mhz stable. I'm wondering if you know of any custom bios that helps squeeze more performance out of it

stooeh · 27 Sep 2020 at 17:53

My 1080ti does not really go above 2050 stable even using the XOC bios that lets it run at 1.2v and no power limit so probably won't make much of a difference.
