vBIOS mods have been difficult/impossible for the past few generations since NVIDIA has started implementing checks and digital signature verification into their products to prevent their GPUs from working with "unauthorized" vBIOS images.

 

TechPowerUp is reporting that their forum members have come up with two different new tools that can work around these protections and provide what vBIOS modders want (tweaking voltages, fan curves, overclocking limts, etc.).

 

There are details about each tool posted on the TechPowerUp forums as well.

golden times ahead for 40 series owners, yehaw! at least until Nvidia starts locking EVERYTHING down, including crossflashing official signed vbios versions 😅☠️
