Hi everyone. I have some trouble. I got an Acer Nitro ANV15-51
16 GB RAM 2x8 GB DDR5
Intel Core i5-13420H
RTX 4050 Mobile 6GB.
It showed 75 watt on Acer website on exact model, but only running at 45 max while gaming. So i decided to flash my vBIOS to unlock my maximum tdp , but i cant find the same GPU manufacturer (Acer). Im wondering if i can crossflash this vBIOS from Acer to Asus even tho the GPU is similar

but the problem is the device ID a little bit different
Asus ; 10DE 28E1
Acer ; 10DE 28A1
Is it safe to me for crossflashing this vBIOS?

matching device id btw
and how do i even backup and restore vBIOS?
my laptop has dual gpu intel hd and rtx card. in worst scenario, vbios fail. can i revert it while using intel hd card?

If you know enough to fiddle with the bios, you don't need to ask for opinions here.
What do you realistically hope to gain?
Do you know how to recover if the flash bricks the gpu?
I would not try, but others may say different.

i never do any vbios update or something, i've just done researching on forum and yt today but i still doubt if i can do this. since this is my first gaming laptop, i have so much anxiety doing this.
