I want your GTX460 vBIOSes!
Title says it all guys ;) its for my own research purposes, and while I'm at it I'll also upload tweaked versions for people to try out.
nvflash update procedure
This is just a rough and quick explanation for people to reference to ensure they have a successful vBIOS flash.
Assuming you are going to flash from DOS (safest) and use a USB stick here is a step by step procedure to flashing your vBIOS.
- Download a USB boot utility and boot files
- Format your USB stick then run the USB boot utility to make your USB stick bootable, remembering where you downloaded the boot files to as you will need them
- Place nvflash and your modified vBIOS on to the USB stick
- Restart, selecting your USB stick either via BIOS or boot menu as the boot media
- After the USB stick loads the boot files type;
nvflash --protectoff
nvflash --eraseeeprom
nvflash -j -4 -5 -6 filename.rom
Thats it. Ctrl>Alt>Del to restart, run something like GPU-Z to verify the new clock settings and/or voltages and you're done!
