Help with updating bios Gigabyte RTX3060Ti (resizable BAR)

[martward]

Hi all,

 

According to Gigabyte, the latest bios for the 3060Ti add resizable BAR. I tried installing the bios by downloading the package and running the N306TGOPL.F3.exe inside. It says it installed the BIOS, but resizable bar is still not supported and GPU-Z says the bios version is "94.04.27.80.88", which has a build date of 2020-10-30 according to TechPowerUp. 

If I try to follow the update steps on the Gigabyte website I get send to a page but I really don't understand what they want met to do.

 

Anyone already did the upgrade and mind telling me how?

 

Cheers

Okay so apparently if you have the control panel open it will tell you to close the control panel, it will then show you a message that the bios was installed successfully and prompt to restart, but it won't actually have installed the bios.

 

I now have installed the BIOS, bit I have a black screen. How long do I wait before I turn it off?

 

Thank god for dual bios. Guess my 3060Ti will stay in Quiet mode forever...

When I updated my MSI 3070 there was also no change to the GPU-Z reported version number. I suspect that part of the code didn't change hence no version number change. MSI's tools reported a totally different version number and that did change.

 

In my case re-bar did work but I had to enable it in mobo bios first, and the setting was not revealed until after enabling "above 4G decoding" or something like that.

Hmm weird. Well I can't know whether my verison changed now, but seeing as how the OC bios is bricked, I think it's safe to assume it did something. I won't be trying to fix it, since I don't want to bork the Quiet bios as well and be left with a completely f*cked card. This was the last time I ever updated a GPU bios, that's for sure...

Turn OFF CSM in your motherboard Bios and your card will boot!

That worked, you are a genius! Could you tell me why that worked?

Resizable BAR is now also enabled, holy crap!
