Asus EAH6450 Video BIOS UEFI GOP Upgrade (And GOP UEFI binary in .efi for many ATI cards)

[bpbastos]

Hello,

I wonder if someone would please help me converting the bios of my EVGA GT 610 to efi.

I have sucessfully extracted the GOP part from a ASUS GT 610 but I don't have access to a Mac system.

GOP: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pztiaf7ve0hgfkt/GT610.efi?dl=0

ORIGNAL ROM: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o6woy04062qloaq/10DE.104A.rom?dl=0

 

Thank you

Hi

 

I have generic HD 5670 1gb GDDR5

 

128kb

 

Is possible compile a UEFI bios?

[Mork vom Ork]

Just want to step by and say THANK YOU.

AMD-UEFI-GOP-MAKER have brought my 2011 SAPHIRE HD6570 to UEFI... unbelievable!

 

YOU MADE MY DAY...  ;-)

[MyGuyzmo]

hi everybody...

 

Do you think it's possible to add UEFI Gop in a gainward GTX 660Ti 2048 Mb please ? (not phantom edition)

I hope it's not a stupid question...

 

This is my BIOS, extracted with NVFlash :

(gainward never made such bios for this card, instead of asus with the GTX660 TI-DC2-2GD5 whose UEFI bios can be found here :

Thanks a lot...

Here's one I made with GOPupd 1.9.1. See if it works OK.

Thank's Riley !!

 

Just a small question please, before flashing : is it normal that the mod bios is smaller than the original ?

[Riley Freeman]

For nvidia, it normally isn't. But GOPupd said it found a dummy EFI. I haven't seen that before. So assuming you dumped the VBIOS ok maybe there was something weird in it.

Yessss Riley ! It's working like a charm   

Thank's, thank's a lot, you're a great man...

 

I don't know this tool (GOPUpd), so now i'm trying to understand it...

 

Now i can boot in Ultra fast mode with my Gainward GTX 660Ti and Asrock Z77 Extreme6, it's very pleasant 

 

Thanks, may the force be with you Riley, and for all members of this forum too !

[Riley Freeman]

Awesome! GOPupd is another tool for adding GOP support to video cards. I mentioned it earlier in the thread.

 

I tend to use it as it's more up-to-date than Andy's tool (and the dev includes updated GOP roms with it).

I made my Radeon waking up in ElCapitan and now the UEFI part is useless because waking requires CSM=on. Legacy VideoBIOS only.

[JorgeMax]

Hello, I made the bios modification on a video card from Gigabyte "GV-R785OC-1GD" with the member of the tutorial "Tedascuen".

It's working perfect in UEFI, I have not tested the "fast boot".

But when I'm browsing the motherboard BIOS options, it has a certain slowness in transitions, mouse arrow "breaking" the movements. Type "drop frames" in the BIOS.

Do you have any way to increase that speed and improve the flow?

Tutorial that followed was this:

My BIOS:

 

Original BIOS:  Pitcairn.rom.zip

 

UEFI BIOS modified: 7850UEFI.rom.zip

 

Thank you friends

[Riley Freeman]

I haven't had any issues like that when navigating the BIOS menus. Try this one and see if there's any improvement.

 

You should always dump the rom from your card when modding. Never rely on a bios downloaded from elsewhere because it may not be as compatible as it claims. Especially if you start seeing weird behaviour after modding.

Friend with that his solution was a little better.

Thanks and thank you.

Ok guys I have strange one here.  When I look at the database my EVGA bios should be a 178k bios but when I use gpu-z its only 92K.

 

 

Here is the link to my Card.

 

http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/130178/evga-gt640-2048-120511

 

Its the 2 gig card.  I know I need at least 128K to update to GOP.

 

 

Basically the same cards as the two gig card in the photo

[Riley Freeman]

It doesn't matter what size your card bios is. Once you add the GOP segment it should work.

 

There's no need for the resulting BIOS to be at least 128k, although if it's smaller you may have to force flash it in some cases (like ATI).

 

My original GT210 bios was 62.5k and 122k after adding the UEFI support and it flashed and worked without a hitch.

[snakeman]

No way really I have a GT210 Im dying to try but I'm afraid!.  I really need another uefi graphics card laying around for trouble shooting and bootcamp!  Going to try the EVGA first.  Fingers crossed.

Update:  It worked in windows 7 "gpu-z"  has a check mark on the UEFI square wow.

 

I used this tool to create my GOP.

 

"Awesome! GOPupd is another tool for adding GOP support to video cards. I mentioned it earlier in the thread."

 

 

Thanks Andy Vandijck Thanks Riley and everyone that risked their cards.

 

 

New Update:   GT218 did not work for me.

 

Error: rom image to large for eeprom  

[Riley Freeman]

I guess the flash chip on your GT218 is too small then. Some manufacturers cut corners on things like that. I've flashed three cards here so far and haven't ran into that message.

 

At least your EVGA is sorted

[snakeman]

Yes, I'm happy very happy.  I need to find some of those G210s (GT218) please send me a link with the one with the correct rom size.

 

 

Cheers,

[Riley Freeman]

This is the one I have. Gigabyte should be OK too as they actually have UEFI support in their cards.

[snakeman]

Thanks, I have a few more cards lying around to try;  GF119 hmmmmm.  I checked online for some cards, thanks again.

 

Now to update my motherboard bios to see if fast boot actually works.

 

ozmosis or clover???

 

 

Report back later.

 

 

 

Update:  My GF119 works so far.  Its a Zotac 610 1 gig card.  Wow, very happy with that one, very surprised.

 

Here is the exact card.

[insanelyDeepak]

This is the one I have. 

Hey Riley i have same card could you help me to get GOP for it , I'm really Noob here 

[Riley Freeman]

Post a dump of the card bios and I'll GOP it for you. I'd rather work with an actual dump from your card than assume it's the same BIOS revision I have.

[WinstonAce]

Don't know if it's mentioned before, but this works fine with few cards I tried.

Very simple to use
