The same is true for current generation of AMD cards :/
You can no longer edit voltage tables
- danuker 4y agoAh, well, only second-hand for me then. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully my laptop will outlast these tyrannical practices. If it doesn't, I'll just skip the dedicated GPU entirely.
- JonChesterfield 4y agoI didn't think that was the case. Do you have a reference? I don't believe the firmware build tools are public. If you want to have a go with a hex editor, I'm not aware of any encryption or code signing going on. Interested to hear if I've missed it though.

- JonChesterfield 4y agoThanks for the link. I think that's a different thing - there's something involving changing settings in the windows registry via some vendor tool where an option as been removed from the GUI. There's a reference to that as an alternative to "flashing modded BIOSes" but no claim that the BIOS can't be modified. Do GPU's have a BIOS? I thought that was a (now legacy) x86 thing. Side note, the cookie popup box on that website was ridiculous and lacking the 'reject all' option, but the content is readable by disabling javascript.
