Raidriar Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 For posterity's sake, I am uploading my private vBIOS made by the legendary Prema for me as a gift. He asked me long ago not to share, but I think the 980M's heyday is long past, so I am releasing it for all to enjoy. It has the voltage capped at 1.00V to keep temperatures in check while maintaining stock clocks. It also helps prevent blowing up MOSFETs on the card, a known 980M behavior. I have used this vBIOS in my M18x for years, as well as M15x. It is bundled with the legendary svl7's mnvflash, which will allow you to flash this vBIOS (make sure you use the -6 flag). WARNING: THIS VBIOS IS NOT FOR THE ALIENWARE 18 SLI CONFIGURATION. IT WILL WORK FOR THE PRIMARY CARD, BUT IT WILL COOK YOUR SECONDARY CARD SINCE IT KILLS SLAVE GPU FAN CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!! Prema, if you are still around and reading, forgive me and I hope you understand. Prema-Raidriar-980M-VBIOS.zip 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naberius Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Do you happen to have a backup of the 1.00v 970m vbios? That one was posted publicly but I wasn't able to track it down recently (and neglected to hold onto it for some reason).

Prema, if you are still around and reading, forgive me and I hope you understand. Prema-Raidriar-980M-VBIOS.zip 874.2 kB · 5 downloads got some feedback from the rainbow master: the 980M vbios mods were done based on the respectice ASIC qualities of the cards. so flashing this on a 980M with a different ASIC quality could lead to overvoltage spikes and possibly throttling. also, dont forget that the 980M had g-sync and non-g-sync versions withs different hardware IDs. vbios were not cross-compatible between the two. so best to add the info if this vbios is for g-sync or non-g-sync cards 🙂 Mine: Hyperion "Titan God of Heat, Heavenly Light, Power" (2022-24) AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (TG High Perf.
