# Panchovix/nvidia-windows-vbios-vix-loader

> Loads a modified NVIDIA GPU VBIOS on Windows by writing it into the driver's registry override and restarting the device, without flashing the card. Includes verify and unload commands to check or remove the override.

## Useful for

- Load an edited VBIOS payload on an RTX 50 or RTX 40 card to apply raised power limits without flashing.
- Verify after a driver update that the NVIDIA driver is still running the registry VBIOS override.
- Unload the override to restore the card's stock VBIOS and previous EnableGpuFirmware value.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 15:38–18:57: 115 → 130 stars (+15). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +20 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 130 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #185.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 13
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 20 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 3
- Latest release: v0.3.1 (2026-10-19)

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
