Before doing this please note i am not responsible for any damage to your GPU or PC you do this at your own risk. This only works with Nvidia GPUs.
Ive moved this from PC Building

Things you will need
GPU (duh)
Nvflash
Custom BIOS
Nvflash - Credit to JoeDirt
Pros -
Higher Clock Speeds
HIgher Mem Speeds
MOREEEE POOWWAAHHHHHH
Better FPS
Basically better OC potential.
Cons -
Can Brick if done wrong
Burn out the card
will void your warranty
Shorter Life Span
Now the Tutorial
Quick note make sure SLI is disabled
The First step is to download the ROM thats is for your GPU - (THE ROM I HAVE SUPPLIED IS FOR A TITAN X DO NOT PUT THIS ON YOUR GPU UNLESS YOURS IS A TITAN X).
Also download Nvflash.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Make sure the BIOS is in the same folder as NvFlash.
and make sure its a Rom file
This Custom rom is for a Titan X change it the .doc to .rom
Run CMD as an Admin
and type cd then the location of the folder in my case itsC:\Users\Tom\Documents\Flashing then press enter
should look like this
Now type
nvflash --list
and it will give you a list of your GPUs that a plugged in and there index e.g <0> <1>
now you need to go to device manager and disable the GPU(s)
now thats done you need to remove the protection on the cards that stops Bios Flashing/Editing
simply type
nvflash --protectoff
during this process it will ask you select which GPU index type the number then press enter
do for instance i have two GPUs so i would type 0 then press enter repeat the process but type 1
when thats done you are ready to flash.
if you have to more that one GPU you need to use the index command
example
--index=0 --index=1
or
-i0 -i1
to flash type nvflash -i0 -6 (name of them).rom
repeat if you have more than one GPU
now thats done restart your computer Enable the GPU(s) then restart again.
Then when your back up you can activate SLI mods Again you can start tweaking again
If you are having any problems please let me know and i will help as much as i can.
I Will also add Roms for cards that i can find and put them incategoriese.g air/water
Now im going to to talk about vBios in more detail as to why would you do this.
Well the reason i did it to my Titan Xs is because they run at 250W stock and when i overclocked them one would run at 275W where as the other was at 225 although i overclocked the power target on both cards by 110%.
Within the GPU bios they have certain limiters in place to stop people over volting them and applying minimum voltages etc. so for me this Rom i use, can be used on air but i recommend water. Now my GPUs TDP is at 350(i think) at 100% so my cards run Hot but because thats the minimum i can now increase the power target higher and increase the voltage to the clocks.
i got 2000+ on my 3D Markscore according to EVGA Precision X My cards are at 1400Mhz, on Unigine there at 1600 but on CPUz its at 2000Mhz, But these cards Run great here is results and screenys.
