Astral RTX 5090 OC Edition performance vbios

[DrPatch]

Hello I need help! 

After an Armory Crate update, my ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC Edition (air-cooled) was overwritten with a generic NVIDIA safety VBIOS.

Both Quiet and Performance BIOS chips now show:

• BIOS: 98.02.2E.40.E0 / E1

• Board ID: “GPU Board”

• Max Power Limit: 600 W (locked)

• Adjustment Range: –33% to +0%

This has removed the Performance Mode power table, capped my Power Target to 100%, and caused a major loss of performance.

I urgently require the original ASUS Performance OC VBIOS (.rom file) for the ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC Edition (air-cooled, 32GB) so I can restore proper function.

Card identifiers:

• Model: ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC Edition (air-cooled)

• Device ID: 10DE 2885

• Subsystem ID: 1043 9683

• Current BIOS versions: 98.02.2E.40.E0 and 98.02.2E.40.E1

• Build Date of overwritten BIOS: 2025-03-18

Please provide the original Quiet Mode and Performance Mode BIOS images so I can safely restore the correct firmware via nvflash.

Thank you.

What was the bios version before..?

Unsure. Just kept it up to date using armory crate. But it has been locked at 100% power with no ability to increase since I can remember.

just want to add that I have near the exact same issue as OP and I've been waiting almost 2 weeks now and every time I talk to support I get told "it's been elevated, please wait 1-2 business days". Pretty disappointing.

Hi @DrPatch  @Beardx 

Can you use GPU-Z and export the BIOS that's currently on the GPU for me so I can take a look?

I've attached the Perf BIOS here. You can download the latest Quiet BIOS from the support site

This is the performance vbios for the ROG Astral 5090 OC air cooled?

I actually have both Q and P vbios saved but I can't actually see how to upload here. Can do code, picture, video but no 'file'.

Zip it

Hey sorry for late reply i was away.

I can't see a file or link you mentioned in this message.

Here is my exported bios: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9j9s2hhtrfwg0z7vzpc6i/GB202.rom?rlkey=1jhhvyfgr5hvw0gap0hkj45q6&st=hf...

I've also reinstalled windows for a separate reason and it still did not help.
