I’ve seen the string REV: x.x.x.x.x often (always?) in AMD-GOP-images, this is only the header before compressed image and useless; the real driver-version is readable in uncompressed image. It should be possible to fill the revisions-name into header without correcting checksum.
Edit: Look, it works as expected (only cosmetic, i don’t know, if GOP is still valid!):
Right: ATI_ROM_Info output after updating a rom GOP w/ GOPupd.bat Left: ATI_ROM_Info output after modding GOP-header in hexedit.
Just guessing based on the original BIOS file name metadata, it looks like one might’ve been version “F3” for boards with Elpida RAM, while the other two may be version “F10” and supporting Hynix RAM (seemingly identical based on the “details” view, but with differing hashes).
So, there are some possible options. In your situation I’d want to make sure whatever I tried matched the make of the RAM on my particular card, though.
i have downloaded the elpida bios from techpowerup but the downloaded file had also the GOP AMD REV: x.x.x.x.x so i drop that file and dont testet it.
ludolf told me that this line is not an indicate for an modified bios.
so i will first take the orijinal file from gigabyte and see what happens in bios. i am not sure for what revision the techpowerup bios files are, i have rev 1.0, on gigabyte website is only the rev. 1.1 for download.
I don’t know why they don’t put the revision-numbers in the GOP-header. Would be easier.
But: Unmodified VBIOS-part is mandatory for GOP. Not only GOP itself. Some mods in VBIOS, e.g. for mining purpose, will destroy validity for GOP, although GOP is a second image after VBIOS. So try your luck with factory-roms found on techpowerup.
Hi guys. I have a diffrent sort of question. Will there be a newer version of GOPUpdater tool? As far as I’ve seen, the last edit of the post is from 2018. Is it still in development? @lordkag By the way, big THANX to You.
Since introduction of Windows 8 (oct. 2012) most videocards will have GOP-table; older cards partially could get bios-updates w/ gop from factory or modded by user. But some needed a bigger memory holding the rom.
@forzaBJK The problem is, that it is not giving any output to the monitor when after BIOS post on my new MSI gaming monitor. On an ald crappy dell 4:3 square screen it works well. I bet the old gop sucks. But I’m not sure if its safe flashing the modded BIOS considering the information given by the updater.
Except for a small number of Turing micro-architecture graphics cards, GOPUpdeter can no longer correctly handle VBIOS for new devices. Therefore, for Turing micro-architecture or later new graphics cards, using this tool will destroy the vbios structure and digital signature. Therefore, before the new version is launched, It will be difficult to get the expected result using GOPUpdeter.
During this period of time, I have been studying how to update the GOP in Turing or newer graphics cards, and have obtained some results. I will consider making the tool public in the future depending on the situation.
In your case, I used some tricks to upgrade the version to 0x5001B (this is the latest version of Turing micro-architecture), and passed the test.
The GOP versions of multiple micro-architectures built in GOPupdater are not up to date. Follow techpowerup to find out more. In addition, for Turing and Ampere, there should be a newer version in RTX2060 12G/RTX3050 (Ti) than 0x5001B/0x60010, and you will be able to see these next.
Hi guys. I’m having hard time to make my GPU EFI ready. After dropping the rom, it says no UEFI rom found. Am i doing something wrong? I go through this forum and still having hard time to understand, can someone give it a try? I tried to flash the updated rom but still i cannot disable csm in bios. When i take out my gpu, i can disable the csm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
