Display Port GOP Updater Guide: Fix blanking screens and improve monitor compatibility

I remember measuring it once and it was 7-9seconds, now its almost instant..

I have it connected to DP, samsung c24fg73, using default samsung Dp cable.

 

Can you do this for me, I want to know what version the nvtool updated it to.

Edit: Anyone with pascal mind doing this as well?

Dump your bios with NVFLASH( command is " nvflash --save x.rom"

Then drag your bios to the GOPUpd.bat file.

It will list info about your GPU bios and list GOP version.
Check the version; latest is version 3000A for pascal.

 

@Agent-A01 I posted this one page earlier..

@angelgraves13

Initial cold boot is somewhat unchanged, but by windows reboot it is noticeably faster.

 

Ah I missed it; at least for GM200, they didn't release a newer one than what's been out for a while.

At least for you, your old firmware was 6 updates behind.

 

Factory updated MSI GTX1070 Sea Hawk EK X (the version which theoretically allows for higher stable RAM clocks) and then the update:

Nvidia GOP 0x30005 Variant 0x0000000000000007 = GP1xx
Dated: Sep 12 2016 Changelist 21147289

Nvidia GOP 0x30007 Variant 0x0000000000000007 = GP1xx
Dated: Jan 16 2017 Changelist 21577143

 

Latest GOP is 3000A dated Aug 21 2017; there are 3 newer updates than what the NV update did.
3008, 3009, 3000A

Interesting that they don't update to the very latest.

 

Updated my founder edition (custom watercooled) 1080ti without issue.

 

Ok, So at first this was released for Pascal and Maxwell to support DP 1.3/1.4 for modern monitors like the HDR ones coming out.
But then I read this article and it says min spec for new G-sync HDR monitors is 1050 series, So it seems Maxwell users won't really get wide product support. I was thinking of getting a new monitor, not sure about new G-sync +HDR as price probably very high, but still.

I updated my ROG STRIX GTX 1080 A8G and ever since I get a quick blank screen every now and again (not during a game yet though) and the display turns back on with the DP icon that my monitor shows when it turns on; almost like the monitor itself is turning on and off, but it isn't and it only cropped up after updating the UEFI BIOS. Anyone else experience something like this? I have a Samsung 27" QLED Gaming Monitor (LC27HG70QQNXZA) and am using the high quality DP cable that came with it. Definitely started after the update so I really don't think it is a monitor/cable issue.

 

Update to the latest pascal GOP version 3000A

 

So this is only Pascal specific? I was asking about this 3000A in PM that time..

 

3000A is specific for Pascal.

Each GPU series has their own specific versions.

 

I just updated to 3000A and will report back if the issue has been resolved.

Thanks for the info and I will update the OP with it.

 

It still does it even after the update... any idea?

 

Did you make a backup of your previous VBIOS before updating the UEFI? If not, perhaps you can use the following VBIOS:

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/185903/asus-gtx1080-8192-160630

The above VBIOS has UEFI version 30002 dated April 1st 2016.

 

Yeah I did. Thanks though.

 

Most likely not a GOP issue.

What VBIOS version are you using?

 

@Agent-A01 can we use your updater for notebook gpus like the 1070m?

 

It works for all GPUs, mobile or otherwise.
