Download link below the image, it will disable the driver while updating so make sure to turn off any overclocking in Afterburner and other tools. It DOES NOT modify the vbios, just the UEFI display section

Oh, I have run this on my 1080Ti. It detected it needed an update. I hit ok, it did it and wanted a reboot. Done.

Don't think I actually need it, but I am more prepared if I change monitor later. I might run it on the other recent-ish nvidia cards on the weekend.

Hard to keep track which websites are good or bad for info, i'm told one is good and a few days later is bad then a few days later is good again, so far TPU has been fairly spot-on


I didn't think this was "gloom and doom" per se, i'm pretty sure i can find links from Fudzilla for that if you want

TPU regurgitates its news for the most part. So if you like marketing, you will like tpu news as they copy and paste 95% of it.
