Mod GOP BIOS for MSI R9 270 Gaming

I'm curious. Will the above work for card other than MSI? I have an XFX Radeon R9 270X and I'd love to get UEFI GOP support on it.

Alright, I followed the directions and the provided file bricked my XFX Radeon. Fortunately I was able to navigate my way into the USB drive 'in the blind' (no video output) and I had my original VBIOS on my ATI FLASH device and was able to restore to my original.
So what I decided to try next was modifying MY original bios by manual inserting the UEFI GOP partition into the VBIOS. I flashed it, and now I'm very happy to say that it's working!!!
It's taken me DAYS to figure out how to do this - so I'll make a shortcut for anyone who needs it. I grabbed the attachment above and I dumped my origin VBIOS. Then I used HxD to hexedit the dollar sign (or whatever it is) to 00 (indicating that there is GOP driver available on the device), and then I directly copied the information from the provided VBIOS for the MSI card into the VBIOS for my XFX card.
Or you can just follow the guide, that I followed - http://www.overclock.net/t/1389206/do-you-want-uefi-gop-on-your-7950-7970-i-can-add-it-to-your-bios/120#post_20172963
I held my breath, flashed the new VBIOS, and rebooted. To my surprise and excitement -  I was instantly greated by the MSI BIOS picture. I then let out a huge sigh of relief and configured Windows 8.1 mode. From what I can tell - everything is working great! First boot into Windows took forever, and Windows PNP had to reinstall the AMD driver.
Other than that, everything went very smoothly :D 
I'm now gonna let my computer sit for a couple hours and run some basic CPU, GPU, and RAM stress tests to make sure that everything is working correctly. I'll report back when I have the info 
EDIT: Swap filing refuses to work after this (no idea why). But considering that I have 24GB's of RAM, I just went ahead and disabled it anyways. NOW everything works correctly! Gonna try some games now - see how they perform

  • Request new BIOS for MSI R9 270 GAMING 2GB

    Hi there, I use W7SP1 with a Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 mobo and the 13.12 drivers(14.4 suffer from very high OpenCL to Direct3D interop lag unfortunately, which is a showstopper with madVR) and I just bought this board with the exact same BIOS version number as on this link: techpowerup (.com)/vgabios/149707/msi-r9270-2048-131106.html
    It's fairly silent under load and I'm happy with that, but when idle the fans seem hardlocked to 1040 rpm
    Whatever fan percentage higher than 18% does increase the fan rpm speed, but anything lower still gives 1040 rpm.......what is the point to cool the GPU down to 28°C when its TJmax is 95°C? I would like to drop the fans speed when idle to maybe 700/800rpm and get the GPU to reach 40°C or so?
    I run a SSD with a 350rpm oversized CPU fan, a passive PSU and several oversized case fans that also run very slowly, those 1040rpm are killing me....I used to own a VTX3D Vchamp HD7850 that allowed me to make my own custom fan speed curve in Afterburner: dead-silent when idle and slowly ramped up under load, perfect
    Of course its cooler was a joke compared to your TF4 but you can see that Asus are now releasing graphic cards that are semi-passive with their fans shutting off until the GPU reaches 65°C, it makes no sense to me to use the TF4 at 1040 rpm when idle(and even more so on the 70W TDP GTX750Ti).
    Long story short, I would really appreciate an unlocked BIOS please so I could build my own fan speed curve in Afterburner as I used to. I do plan on buying the future Maxwell's(a twice faster 750Ti would be awesome), I dearly hope that you will reevaluate your TF4 fan speed curves because otherwise I would more than likely buy a semi-passive Asus next time. Talk about wasted potential
    I guess you hardlocked it so dumb ppl wouldn't set the fans to a fixed very low speed and toast the board, but posting an unlocked BIOS on your forum that's aimed at power users is just showing that you care. I know EVGA did post this kind of BIOS updates recently and you polished the TF4 cooler to such extents that it's truly a crying shame to be stuck at 1040 rpm and 28°C when idle
    There is no question that TF4 is extremely effective under load with a 150W TDP GPU, but you can see that the 270X Powercolor board is quieter when idle in this comparison: tomshardware (.com)/reviews/radeon-r9-270-benchmark-review,3769-5.html
    Hope you can help, I will gladly spread the word on HTPC forums because this board is close to perfection when using madVR.
    Thank you very much in advance

    OK thanks for the reply, but the 18% cap seems BIOS based...I have a hard time believing that they can't run any lower than 1040 rpm
    Are you a mod? Working for MSI? This looks like a wild guess more than an official reply if you don't mind me saying.
    For the record, that VTX3D board I mentioned in my previous PM was able to go down to 1%.
    I would fix it myself but there are no BIOS editors for the R9 serie apparently....MSI simply capped the lowest PWM value: tpucdn dot com/rbe/RBE_Fan.png
    Whatever way their speed's being throttled(PWM or voltage), they must be able to go slower than that. I could provide you links but EVGA did make clear that they capped the lowest speed of the fans on some of their boards so dumb users wouldn't fry them but they were entirely able to release unlocked BIOS binaries.
    At this point I could either return it or unplug its fans and slap a 600rpm 140mm fan onto the board using zip ties.......it's just amazing that MSI managed to ultimately fail on such a detail. All the work put into the TF4 cooler goes down the drain
    flobelix seems able to help, I hope he'll chime in: forum-en.msi dot com/index.php?topic=180521

    Fan controller actually can control the fans, and the GPU gets less hot

  • [REQUEST] UEFI GOP BIOS for MSI R9 270X Gaming 2GB BF4 LE

    Hi,
    I would like to request for a UEFI GOP BIOS for my graphics card. i experimented with using the ones provided by the techpowerup site and ran into an issue where the system boots fine while starting in BIOS, however, when Windows 8 is loaded, i get a blank black screen. I have confirmed the system is working, as evidenced by booting into safe mode, where everything works well using the graphics card.
    I have since reverted to using an older version, however, this one gives me a prompt on BIOS bootup that it is not GOP compliant and FastBoot/Windows 8 features would be disabled. I was ready to give up, but changing search terms in google led me to these forum posts, and i thought, "what the heck, why not get it from the actual manufacturer's community?".
    I appreciate any assistance you may provide. Thank you and more power!

    What is the best method to Flash my video card?
    Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
    To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
    Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

    Of course not. That is an official MSI vbios.
