I'm poking around my 3060 and not finding the strap resistors belonging to the device ID.  For digits of 0x87 in the enumeration I'm used to that would be a 5k and a 40k resistor.  I don't know if Nvidia is still using strap resistors to encode device ID or if they still use the same enumeration.

 

I did not find any resistor values that would be valid strap values in the old enumeration system besides 10k, but that sounds more like a generic pull than anything else.

 

Anybody know if these cards should still have these?

 

Last time I did this was on Kepler cards.

 

[EDIT]

Found a schematic for 2080 straps, looks like Nvidia changed the enumeration from values in 5k increments to tying to different voltage rails.

 

And this patent:

Oof.  Gonna be hard without a board schematic.  I presume I'd want the software override set, but then I'm not sure if it uses the old style soft straps in VBIOS or it just accepts the value in VBIOS as written.

...Or how many fused device ID variations can be selected with resistors.

 

I just read the patent.  Looks like Nvidia did exactly this to keep me from doing what I was about to do. 🤣🤦‍♂️

Well, I guess those glory days are over.

 

I think at this point it's easier for me to just patch the device identification in the software product rather than making the card report itself differently.

I'm a used parts bottom feeder.  Your loss is my gain.

 

I like people who tell good RGB jokes.
