Quadro P3000 & P4000 unlocked/OC vbios

[mtvgt]

Thanks Maks, so i assume programmer only for whole family right? P4000, P4200, P5000, P5200. And it was confirmed that even NVflashk or OMGVflash won't work?

Flashing 86.04.70.00.1B onto P3000 worked with NVflashk on my zbook 17.

hey, how did you do it?!) please, can you make some instructions? and did you flash it from stock to unlocked from IMac?

[loopster]

Can't remember honestly... I guess I would have to retry to be sure

I probably just did

cmd.exe as admin

cd into file path

nvflashk --protectoff

nvflashk -5 -6 newbios.rom, or maybe just nvflashk -6 newbios.rom

 

This was from stock bios to 86.04.70.00.1B, which I took from techpowerup

upon reading about it in this thread

Hi,

I just came on this thread and found out that there seems to be a some "OC" vbios for the Quadro P4000 and maybe P3000 mobile version :

Don't try to contact them, looks like they are a bit higher up in their mind and doesn't want to deal with "non mac user" hahaha.

That said, I didn't tried them, your luck may vary, it might not work on normal laptop, I'm currently investigating how it's modded and might be able to replicate it.

Here is a preview of what's this modded vbios is capable on the P4000 : 

Comparing to it's stock graphics score of about 3900~4000, this is a 20% performance uplift that's above a 1060 level of performance.

The two p3000 modded bios don’t work on m17x r4 with edp 120hz screen. Got 8 beeps.

 

86.04.70.00.1B works nicely. But no overclocking possible

It's not about overclocking unlocking, it's just getting a proper boost frequency out of those core. I remember being locked at 1250MHz on the P4000 I had on the M6700, with theses vbios you should see the card reach 1600+MHz on the core, leading to higher performance (about 20%). That said I didn't tried them, I didn't had a P3000 or a P4000 since I made this thread (nor an MXM laptop) but a few people reported higher clock speed thanks to theses vbios.
