I extract 2 gop files from the nvidia tool.
one for pascal and other for maxwell.
pascal NV-UEFI-BLD-INFO..S.DAT:Jan 16 2017.VER:0x20011.CHG:21577143.VAR:0000000000000006
maxwell NV-UEFI-BLD-INFO..S.DAT:Jan 16 2017.VER:0x30007.CHG:21577143.VAR:0000000000000007

i found a newer verision of gop in clevo gtx 1080 mxm.
NV-UEFI-BLD-INFO..S.DAT:Apr 26 2017.VER:0x30009.CHG:22031157.VAR:0000000000000007
and i compare old clevo mxm gtx1080 vbios with gop ver.0x30002 and desktop gtx1080 's gop ver.0x30002 , when i extract them via UEFIRomExtract , i found they are the same.
so this file is the clevo extract one.

I guess that it has to do with NVIDIA GRAPHICS FIRMWARE UPDATE TOOL FOR DISPLAYPORT 1.3 AND 1.4 DISPLAYS http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv-uefi-update-x64.html

@dsanke

I compared Clevo GTX 970M MXM (https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/1657...70m-6144-140905) and ASUS GTX 970 (https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/1798...0-4096-140917-2) , they have the same GOP ver.0x20005.
Decompress by UEFIRomExtract and found 2 GOP files are identical.
So I think GOP of MXM or PCIE can be in common use.

Could someone provide a before and after BIOS for the recently released Nvidia firmware update tool for DP 1.3/1.4?

I didn't found a higher version than 0x3000A, and my 1070Ti already has this version installed; so i can't try this: If we would replace the 0x30007 in the programm file with 0x3000A, does the updater still work?

and.. if the rom is read to memory before flashing, a memory editor could maybe edit other parts of the rom, before the license block is written. It's a long shot, but worth a try..

extract from GTX 1070 Ti , you can update it by

nvflash -u gop.efirom
 

thx, but that wasn't what i asked for. But i didn't know about the -u option, interesting.
The 1070Ti never came with any other UEFI than 300A i guess, since the release of this card was late 2017.

what i wanted to see is what the firmaware tool has done to the BIOS. Therefore my need for a before/after comparsion.

And, if i would have a BIOS with a lower version number than found in the nv firmware tool, i could perform this on my own. And try to change something with a memory editor before the licensing happens, if that happens. Some strings inside the tool indicates this is the case, so this way a actual BIOS mod for polaris card would be possible.

i think we talk at cross purposes here..

so u really know that the firmware tool is nothing more than nvflash with gui and all it does is updating the gop? That is what i wanted to be sure on, not just suspect it..

so, completely unnecessary tool for us..

NEW Nvidia Pascal GOP ver 0x3000B

Thanks, any guide on how to manually flash till a new GOP Updater version is out? (I think this should be in the OP)
