I was recommended to update the BIOS of my GPU due to some problems I was having, but I don't know how to do it from the Gigabyte app. I don't know if it's from the Control Center or if it's from another application.

And what problem would that be?

Please pass on the make and model of your Gigabyte GPU, assuming it's by Gigabyte. Please be warned that flashing the BIOS on a motherboard or VBIOS on a GPU can result in a bricked device if not done the right way.

My model is a Gigabyte RTX 4060 Ti Eagle 8GB. My version is one without OC. My problem is that I have black screens and they told me that it could be that I have a corrupted GPU BIOS. I have already uninstalled the drivers with DDU in safe mode twice and installed others, and the problem persists even with HDMI. I have Windows 10.

Who suggested updating the GPU BIOS? Had you previously changed it?

I ask because the Gigabyte apps generally don't perform such updates. Motherboard, yes, but not GPUs.

I saw it in a video investigating my problem and it mentions that it can be done from the page, I even think that Gigabyte itself has some instructions but I don't understand it very well at all. I also tried looking for the BIOS in Tech PowerUp but the model of my card doesn't appear. I have an 8GB RTX 4060ti Eagle and the version that appears is the same but with OC and I don't know if it is compatible with my card since it could render it unusable.

How did you determine this is your exact GPU? My the label on the back of it? What is the exact model number on that label?

Because that's the version I bought. I remember there were two versions. One normal and one overclocked. But I haven't checked the number on the back. And if you're wondering how I found it, I downloaded GPU Z and checked the BIOS version I had, and that page I sent you came up.

Understood. With the exact model number, we may be able to find something else. That is why I was asking.

Else, you have one unverified version to attempt to install (assuming this solves anything).

GPU BIOSes are not something that get corrupted easily. Unless someone tried installing the wrong version, this should not be an issue for the vast majority of situations.

Entendido. Con el número de modelo exacto, quizá podamos encontrar algo más. Por eso preguntaba.

De lo contrario, tendrá una versión no verificada que intentará instalar (asumiendo que esto resuelve algo).

Las BIOS de las GPU no se corrompen fácilmente. A menos que alguien haya intentado instalar la versión incorrecta, esto no debería ser un problema en la gran mayoría de los casos.

That's what they mention: that due to Nvidia updates, my GPU's BIOS could have been corrupted, and I'm desperate to fix it. On the other hand, I didn't quite understand which unverified version you're referring to.

What is happening exactly?

The latest Geforce drivers are unreliable for cards that aren't 5xxx series. So if whatever this is is driver related do try an older driver.

I have even tried with version 566.36 and the error still persists and they say that if that happens it is because I have a corrupt BIOS and my last option is to go to a driver version from August or September.

BIOS updates and driver updates are completely different processes. Updating drivers doesn't break the GPU's BIOS.

Do you understand any Spanish? Because I speak Spanish, and the video I found that mentions what I'm telling you about the BIOS also speaks Spanish, or you could also watch it with YouTube's automatic translator. Anyway, I'll leave you the link to see if you can help me. It's from an overclocker from Uruguay.

That video does not confirm a corrupted BIOS. As stated earlier, driver updates don't typically corrupt the GPU's BIOS. Those are different processes.

What PSU (power supply) make/model are you using, by the way?

I have a 700-watt EVGA, but a friend also tested it with a 1000-watt 80 Plus Gold.
The guy mentions that maybe this happens because I rolled back the driver version when I already had the black screen error.

Power should be okay. At this point, you really need the exact, detailed model number for the label on the back of the GPU itself.

Otherwise, you can try using NVFlash to install the BIOS version you mentioned. However, don't be surprised if it changes nothing.

But the version I sent you is the one I already have installed. I couldn't find a different one. And what number are you referring to? I can see several numbers and codes, but I don't know which one you want exactly.
