Check if there is a DP 1.4 GPU card update for your 1080 Ti

Good nail, actually. The card is advertised as DP 1.4-capable per [1] [2]:

Interface
DVI Output : Yes x 1 (Native) (DVI-D)
HDMI Output : Yes x 2 (Native) (HDMI 2.0b)
Display Port : Yes x 2 (DisplayPort 1.4)
HDCP Support : Yes (2.2)

, however, if I open GPU-Z, I see the max bandwidth 8.1 Gbps. With DP 1.4, that should be 32.4 Gbps. Goly...

That is after the firmware update. Okay, this might be also why I see some color funkiness, such as a subtle lack of the blue that I cannot pin down to something or tweak up with a monitor setting.

The Graphics card could be the problem, perhaps I should move this out to that part of the forum.

Update: It's possible that all is fine, if the bandwidth is multiplied by the amount of lanes.

It is 32.4Gbps

8.1 x 4 lanes = 32.4

The nvidia firmware update should have fixed your UEFI entering issues

Which is the last turbovcore version?

Hey everyone,

Just have a question about installing motherboard drivers on the z490 Strix E. I downloaded the necessary drivers from the asus support page for 64bit OS and the folders are labeled 64bit but the AsusSetup.exe inside the folder is labeled AsusSetup(32) when I launch the .exe for some of the drivers such as LAN, Chipset, and MEI. Does this actually matter? The older LAN driver has AsusSetup(64) in the folder.

I don't like messing with BIOS in the first place, at the same time we need the updates, I decided to do so and now I'm having an issue with the BIOS v0707
I keep getting "Not the correct BIOS" message every time I try to update. I don't understand? It's pretty much simple, yet I always go through some issue with this particular motherboard...

I follow the instruction on Asus Support Site : BIOS v0707 2020/08/28
Before running the USB BIOS Flashback tool, please rename the BIOS file (SZ490G.CAP) using BIOSRenamer."
then copy it to USB etc... Well, that's not working?!

- I remember someone here told me you don't need to use BIOSRenamer" and just use the file as is or rename it yourself, so he gave me the file as is
(ROG-STRIX-Z490-G-GAMING-WIFI-ASUS-0704) and I copied it to USB and that work! I was able to update my BIOS.

- I thought let me try that and I went re-opened the WinRaw Zip file out and just copied the file as is (ROG-STRIX-Z490-G-GAMING-ASUS-0707) without using BIOSRenamer"
and I still get the same "Not the correct BIOS"

I'm a bit confused.

PCIe 4.0 is a topic with M12 and riser cables.

I currently use a PCIe 3.0 riser cable (Asus ROG Strix Riser), which has 240 mm length. That is fine as long as I want to use View 91's vertical mount, but I've also been considering just hanging the video card inside the chassis. To be precise, I tested that with my GTX 1080 Ti, and that worked like a charm with steel threads.*

That is how it looks like: https://www.reddit.com/r/thermaltake/comments/jb8an3/hang_it_up_when_3090_came_out_i_was_bummed_abou...

Here is my question. For more freedom while hanging the video card inside the chassis, I need a longer riser cable, and those things aren't really cheap. I would like to future-proof that purchase with a PCIe 4.0 riser cable. And you may be already guessing my question: how would that work with M12E and my current PCIe 3.0 video card? Also, how will that play out when I get a PCIe 4.0 video card with a M12?

If it wouldn't work, I could also get a PCIe 3.0 riser cable. Shame that it would eventually become a bottleneck when both the mobo and the video card go PCIe 4.0.

* - Note, the steel threads are conductive, and if they snap, they could short more than one thing. Though, I couldn't snap these threads with much more force than my GTX 1080 Ti's mass produces. I was looking for carbon fiber threads but couldn't find any so far. I suppose that with a long-enough riser cable, a video card can also be hung outside the chassis to avoid the shorting-out risk (dust, noise, damage risk, space usage, and probably harder liquid cooling being the downside). I take the option to keep the video card inside the chassis.

Hi,

I need VCore=1.25 load to be stable @5.1GHz ...

I can do this with:

VID=1.34 and LLC=6
or
VID=1.28 and LLC=7

Which the better choice ?

Is there any problem using a high LLC level?

Have anybody tested the new 0804 BIOS for XII Apex? OLDFATSHEEP posted it on OCN.
