[GT] VBIOS for NVIDIA GTX 1070

[kuler1992]

I've had a major problem. All games breaks after several minutes of play. Ghost Recon Wildlands couldn't last more than 10-15 seconds. I've flashed vBios with these 86.04.5B.00.8A chineese one, and it helped. My laptop runs at Turbo mode with nothing to hold it back. No overheating no glithches, nothing. For two months I've tried to solve this problem, thank you guys!

Hello!
Also the problem with crashing games, GTA5, WOT, Diablo 3, BF1 and Open Beta Destiny 2.
Notebook GT62VR 6RE, vBios 86.04.31.00.0D.
I understand that the problem is in excess of factory frequencies 1445-1645MHz.
There's no overclocking, SHIFT mode - Sport/Comfort mode.
You say that vBios 86.04.5B.00.8A solves the problem, the official warranty is lost?
Is there an official vBios firmware that fixes the problem?

There is no 'official' bios except 8A, because this bug is caused by a hardware fault on the card itself, with voltages of 1.013v and higher.  These voltages are only available in "Boost 2" automatic overclocking speeds (past the limit of boost 1 clocks).

Does anyone got the nvidia GPU replaced in the RMA? or they are just using the vbios with the GPU clock limited to 1446 MHz?
Got the same problem here....

 

[miguel_angelrv]

Looks like this problem only affect the GPU manufactured in 2016 which have are1070 v1.0 the GPUs with the 2017 1070 GPU is using version 1.2 and with the 0d vbios.

Only these two vbios work fine with defective laptops: .82 (limit to 1443mhz) or .8A (1650mhz limit)

Some people could send the laptop to RMA to replace the GPU to 1.2 version (2017) I will try to do it.

=> It is unacceptable from MSI. All this mess were due to the MSI team that didn't care about having just a working BIOS for a laptop at about 2000$. So, I don't know if I will buy a MSI Laptop later, in a few years (I hope !), when I will have to replace... It will depend on how long that laptop will live... If it really worth it.I think yes, cause now, really, it is VERY powerful, temps are low even in game, sound is really good too... That laptop is really, really great, and thanks for that MSI... But please, listen to your customers !! And make better tests before selling a laptop !
=> Thank you for all of you, the creator of this thread, the people that gave links, and also people who made a reply to say that it's working perfectly now with this BIOS (and then, so do I)... All the replies really helped me to make it despite the risks.

Have a good gaming !

 
Yes. it's really unacceptable from such a great company. but with laptops of other companies there are more horrified problems because of bios. they just burned off. without any jokes. heard about that "problem" for Asus ROG and Alienware laptops. 
So as i think, better buy laptop with such a problem as crashing and got fix from friendly people on forum, than see your laptop aflame =)

I am happy to say my laptop is completely problem-free in respect to gpu so far. Could change with time, idk. But if I had to choose, I would rather not see my card boost so high than CPU going to 100 degrees celsius and thermal throttle. Or have it die soon due to heat... I see many laptops aside from the gt series that have bad overheating problems with cpu, rendering it useless. I mean if it overheats during games, what would happen if rendering a video, probably catch on fire as the person before said.... I'd go for MSI any day again just for the damn cooling and easy access to internals. You knew asuses had to be disassembled down to bare motherboard in other to repaste....?

Hi,

I have had my MSI GT72VR 6RE for a little over a year now, and has been one of the worst laptop buys I have made considering the hefty price tag I payed for it believing I got a class A product. 

Constant frame drops and and some random crashes now and then, plus the battery which recently gave up also... Never had a battery in laptop die before... Also the Wifi was "%?&""/%?"/&?"? nightmare in the beginning since the drivers weren't mature for Win10 and made the Wifi just dissapear.
I have tried everything and one of the largest crooks has been the Nahimic sound. This allmost elliminated the frame drops.

Now I finally found this chineese VBIOS and tried it and now I get super smooth performance, but when I browse this thread I understand that if the computer works fine with the .8A VBIOS my card is most likely deffective? My laptop is one of the first (bought 2016), so the chance is big that mine really has a deffective GPU, only problem is I don't think I can be without the laptop for a month while having it sent away for RMA...

Too bad MSI screwed up these laptops so hard otherwise my next laptop would surely be a MSI....

Yeah the gpu's on some of the first models were no good with high voltage, which causes crashes. The .8A vbios keeps voltage low. There should also be tweaks you can do in msi afterburner to achieve this with the custom voltage/frequency curve I believe but tbh I don't know how to use that. My laptop is special since it comes with the 6820HK processor but is still the GT72VR model. It should be a late 2016 model, but thankfully does not suffer from the gpu thing. Seeing how many laptops were sold, I think that it's just the minority that is affected however. Otherwise they would have to recall or release the .8A vbios officially. Tbh, you don't lose out with the lower frequency as I am on the .0D official one for my model and my GPU in very demanding games stays around 1600 anyway due to power limit. There is some chance your card will deteriorate with time and even the .8A vbios won't do anymore, that happened to few people (I emphasize few - which probably means the chance is very low).
Which version of nahimic are/were you running that caused frame drops? I have 0 issues with the 2.3.20 version with driver 6.0.1.8166. I find newer ones to have lower audio quality, somewhat less depth to the sound. Older versions on the other hand sometimes crackle.
As for wifi, do you have the killer suite installed? That usually seems to be the culprit. There are "drivers only" versions on the killernetworking.com website. You should look into that, my wifi has been good to me and pretty fast after getting rid of the msi drivers and suite (at first it was literally unusable).

 

[johan.aslund]

I'm I have tried all Nahimic versions, including the latest soundcard drivers. As soon as I uninstall Nahimic 2 allmost all framedrops is gone. Too bad since the laptop sounds really bad without Nahimic, but since I use an external monitor the absence of Nahimic is a none issue. Is Nahimic 2 CPU-dependant? Mayby it's some kind of CPU throttleing?

Anyway I will probably send the computer away for an RMA when I'm close to the 2y warrenty to end, since I will probably have gotten a new computer by then (not an MSI for sure).....

Hello. I'm from Russia. I have a laptop MSI GT73VR 6RE gtx 1070. The laptop turned off in games with a load higher with the BIOS of the video card from the download section 3A when the frequency exceeded 1845, I asked for the video card with the Chinese BIOS 8A and the laptop worked perfectly at 1645 MHz! In the dragon center, I added the clock in turbo mode to 1845 MHz and my video card worked just fine, but I still after half a year gave the laptop to the service center and asked to replace the video card. The laptop was a series of 2016 H1608. I was replaced with a card, but there was a bios of 86.04.5B.00.82 and the maximum card frequency in the boost was 1443MHz, then I called the service master and together we asked for a card for version 3A, I ran the game, added acceleration in the dragon center and the card worked perfectly for frequency of 2050MHz !!! Now I'm completely happy !!!

 

[jalado86]

hi is there anybody who has the 86.04.20.00.14 vbios?

 

[hightone.alex]

A BIG THANK YOU !!!

After days and weeks of searching and reinstalling everything, windows, drivers, bios, everything many times.
I even changed the thermal paste, and gave a good clean to the ventilators !!

My MSI GT72VR 6RE Dominator Pro (with 1070 inside) doesnt crash anymore !!!
Downclocking with MSI Afterburner is not enough !

Flashing the BIOS is THE solution for now,  the gpu core is now running 1442 mhz or 1645mhz if boosted.

Again thanks for the solution !!

I copy paste here what worked for me :

I installed the "chinese" BIOS (8A), link given in previous post : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B15_BuSjR26WV0NrbldGVzhlWnc/view
I followed those instructions to install the BIOS, link given in previous post : https://www.msi.com/files/pdf/VBIOS_flash_sop_for_Skylake.pdf

 

[jealeblanc]

Hello,

Do you know where I can find this VBIOS ? 86.04.5B.00.8A


Today the link is borken or send us in the direction of a chinese site and if you want to download the file you need you to register but in chinese language?. When you do not undesrsand chinese language it it's difficult.

So thank you for your help.

no use 8a ,,no boost clock ends 1650mhz,,A3 is better for all use ,,if you have a problem with gpu first try msi afterburner to find problem ..clean instal drivers ..game patches,,


,,,afterburner ,.ctr + f "voltage curve" L for lock any clock ,,test 

AA

8a is good for max oc + low power limit board 120w 1898mhz x 0.893 - 0.881 "hot" gaming usage ..1911mhz is cold ,pre set ,,but still good use afterburner voltage curve 8A or 3A tdp is the same, it doesn't matter what bios you have
8a it is only locked in the bios to 0.893v max

Hi everybody!
Sorry to dig up this old thread, but maybe somebody can help me:
I have a GP63 Leopard 8RF with a 1070
And i suffer from the crashes as descrived before.
I've found the 8A vbios, but for the 1BE1 1070 version...and mine is the 1BA1
Somebody can please help me?

Huge thanks!

Also, if this can help:
Laptop is manufactured in 2019
And if I boot it and put the fans at maximum speed the Gpu temp never goes beyond 75c and passes like 10 superposition benchmarks without problems
After a while it starts to crash randomly…
