Device firmware re-flash gave positive effect

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

How exactly did you do this? can I have a guide?
Mine solution is quite case-specific as I had black screen after EVGA vbios thru PX1 update, no harm in trying tho, but make sure the vbios is the same as your old one (you can flash other vendor vbios but beware of the limits, like you cannot flash a galaxy hof 1000W power limit on a palit as it will explode probably).

1) Dump your current vbios thru GPU-Z by clicking to the arrow button after the bios number.
2) Search up your same vbios or an update of it on TechPowerUp library - here's the link of evga 3080ti based on your gpu model and vendor or navigate thru GPU-Z
3) Download NVFlash and extract in a folder with an easy patch
4) Disable your gpu from device manager

For the rest I'd advice to watch this video as he explains what to do in case of incompatible vbios and artifacts.

please give your old bios and new bios.
I actually flashed the same vbios over again but downloaded from the techpowerup library instead of my dump.
Version 94.02.71.80.86
I thought you flashed a new BIOS, with a new uefi gop, then it would make sense.
But since you flashed the old BIOS, it means that you just reinstalled the driver.

dude, I flashed my rtx 3070 aorus master, previously the firmware was 94.04.3A.40.0E, I updated to 94.04.3A.00.FF, my video card finally started loading in games, I was surprised why the video card did not heat up in heavy games more than 55 degrees, but it always loaded up to 30-40%

Holy F**K
I accidentaly bricked my GPU with new bios(nvflash was glitching)
Than i manually switch my vbios on GPU with little switch from OC to Silent mode.
And WTF. ALL my games are buttery smooth now. I always thought that game devs are idiots who can't optimize their games :D
And before that i always see that my gpu clock is dropping heavily from 1965 to like 1400 randomly.
Now it's super stable and with gsync enabled it's the smoothiest gaming experience i ever had.
No more DAYZ stuttering, no more BF2042 stuttering(it's freaking smooth AF), no more cs2 fps drops, and what's important no more Squad fps drops. It's super smooth now.

I bought my GPU from aliexpress so maybe their OC bios was a little bit glitchy. But silent mode is freaking awesome.

Thank you

For me it's like completely new game experience. Now i can finally understand what means "buttery smooth" :D :D :D
And for no reason games even look different more crispy more saturated more sharp, i don't know how to explain this
By the way GPU is GIGABYTE RTX 3080 GAMING OC Rev. 2.0 (GV-N3080GAMING OC-10GD)
Smooth bios version is 94.02.71.C0.28

For example i had previously 70-90 fps with constant fps drops in BF2042. Now i have 120+ without any weird drops. ultra setings. 2560x1440

I never thought I would say this, but I'm happy that I bricked my bios lmao

Hey there,

As I've been a regular reader for a while now, I'm creating this account to thank you for your feedback.

I've been playing CS and I've had a big input lag problem for a while now, especially on Faceit.

I've updated the bios of my graphics card, an RTX 3060, and my problem seems to have been solved. As a symbol of my re-discovery of the game without input lag, my first game on Faceit was an ace in the pistol round.

I took a risk because on the TechPowerUp site there's only a bios version of my model and it's not official.

It's hard to imagine that the bios version of your graphics card could interfere so much.

Normally, my input lag problem comes back after 24 hours of formatting my PC, and it's been 4 days now that my game is extremely smooth with perfect hitreg.

Thanks again for sharing!

Did you do update to one from the same manufacturer?

I have a PNY RTX 3060 8GB and what happened is that it's non-existent on the TechPowerUp site listing, on the PNY brand in 3060 there's only the 12GB model so I googled “bios PNY RTX 3060 8GB” and the first link is the TechPowerUp site with a bios version available and this message : Warning: You are viewing an unverified BIOS file.
This upload has not been verified by us in any way (like we do for the entries listed under the 'AMD', 'ATI' and 'NVIDIA' sections).
Please exercise caution when flashing it to your graphics card, and always have a backup.

With everything I could try and this feedback that seemed solid I took the risk of installing it.

I checked on GPU-Z if it had been installed and it was.
