KFA2 780TI VBios.... huh?

He pulled his site without warning and closed up.

You can still find the latest builds from trusted source.

Once you uncheck the top one you should not see any MSG so no need to change times but I do not think Nibitor can read a 780Ti bios as that was in the pipeline for newer build.

Sounds like you have some kind of engineer sample cards /ios, I had an ES card once for a peeps build (fluke I guess) and AFAIR I had to disable the ES message in the box 2 bellow the one I circled.

You are going to have get someone to do it the old school way and look through the Bios is a hex editor and thing the string to do with that Boot MSG.

What does Windows have to do with Bios post screen?

You can have an UEFI bios and all hardware fast boot settings enabled but Windows installed normally like I have.

That looks like the old legacy MSG GPU's showed years ago and not seen it on any non UEFI GPU for years.

At a guess I would say 8800Ultra was last time I see that MSG, not sure about the GTX260/285 but not on the GTX580/680 (my cards and all non UEFI).

Do not want to see you formatting for no gain.

hehe well we are about to be educated :D

UEFI is OS controlled bios in a nutshell, UEFI mode is only fully enabled if you have windows installed as a uefi partition, and to do that you have to do custom install. if you installed it with the standard practice, or if you bought it with stock install, it will be legacy bios and you won't get UEFI boot.

you can check if you have Legacy or UEFI by searching for MSINFO32 in start and then in system summary, you'll see "Boot mode" which will say legacy or UEFI, if it doesn't say uefi, you are not running in uefi mode.

to run under uefi, you need to reinstall windows, and:

- when you choose basic setup or custom install, choose custom install
- you'll be shown the partitions available, you need to press "new", windows will then give you the following partitions:

the partitions have to be in this order or it won't work, note that you have to have primary partition selected (in the above example it looks like the user created a second partition also (below primary), you don't need to do this.
Also note that if you get a warning saying windows can't be installed, ignore it, as long as you can press next, you are good to go.

once it's done that, windows needs to install and reboot a few times, but only at the end of the setup process will it boot straight to windows logo

hope this helps anyone :)

I'm confused. When you say the partitions have to be in that order what do you mean?

Referring to the screenshot above, not all of us will have a Recovery partition, the Primary partition is the only partition Windows would be able to install on, the Unallocated space is available space for another partition to be created.

What are the benefits of UEFI mode? To get rid of this VGA BIOS?

Apparently you can move the order, (by deleting and manually creating), I'm not entirely sure on that as I read it in a tutorial

The operating system creates all the partitions automatically for you when you click "new" literally all of them

much faster boot time is the biggest advantage, I clocked in 11 seconds, but think I can get faster. from wikipedia


The interface defined by the EFI specification includes data tables that contain platform information, and boot and runtime services that are available to the OS loader and OS. UEFI firmware provides several technical advantages over a traditional BIOS system:[11]

ability toz boot from large disks (over 2 TB) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT)[12][13]
CPU-independent architecture[12]
CPU-independent drivers[12]
flexible pre-OS environment, including network capability
modular design

Not really as its nothing I did not know.

Before we had UEFI Bios or even installs for Windows the GPU's used to show what you are seeing but again I have not seen that for many years on many newer cards.

Obv if you set all fast Boot settings to Bios you may never see it but I have not seen it in legacy mode for as long as I stated above.

The funny thing is you both have KFA GPU's
 
All cards do this, it's part of the original IBM specification, the only difference is that with most cards they will be finished before the screen even has time to display input.

When the system is booted the video card will do a memory test while it displays the logo information, if this appears to be hanging around for a while it's either your monitor picking up the input very fast so giving the illusion that the screen is up longer than it really is, that it has a lot of ram to check, or that it's taking it's time to do it.
