Flashing GPU bios with a custom bios

[BisdakIKobe]

hey guys so I have a gtx 660ti and an old Geforce 7300LE what I am asking is can I flash the Geforce 7300LE with a modified Bios so that it can use a newer driver because the driver it can use is maximum 305 with the latest one being 398 and I would like to run both gpu's seperatly which works with the old driver but removes shadowplay and other features off the 660ti so would it basically work to extract the bios from my 660ti or a low end look alike of the 7300 and modify the bios so it matches the 7300 power and clocks but to make it compatible with a newer driver what do you think ?

No, that would not work. Trying to flash your 660 Ti BIOS onto that card would brick it.

not necessarily a 660ti bios but any bios or is it possible to mod its bios to make it work with a newer driver
just a way to fool the driver maybe and see if it works

How confident do you feel about using a hex editor to mod a bios? Even if you could, there may be a good reason that new drivers don't work with that card, e.g. a limitation of the hardware.

Flashing a bios from any other type of card will brick that card. BIOS is card specific.

Why exactly do you want to use both cards at once?

At first i thought about letting the old one mine bitcoins but realised it won't be good pretty fast but I am still curious and maybe in future if for rendering etc

That old GPU is obsolete. You would be losing money trying to mine cryptocurrency, if it even worked, and rendering performance would be abysmal as well.

I know it is but I am asking about flashing just as an experiment I am not asking you if I will profit or no...

Ok, well the answer is no, you cannot flash another BIOS onto that card to make it work with the latest drivers.
