You guys realize grin31 is meant for ASICs and not GPUs right? Grin29 is specifically for GPUs....

just google the board layout and u'll find the answer.
actually I have 148 P104s and my friend has done his upgrade from 4 to 8GB with posting his cards to flash. since I'm a CS student I want to find the way to flash my own.

So being a "computer science student" you want to ask other people on the internet how to do it instead of your friend that has already done it?  Pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.

lmfao, My friend bought the service from local dealer and the card need to be posted to the dealer and post back. in public domain, even TechPowerUp doesn't have any 8GB vbios of P104, and Btalk is the best bbs to ask ppl for help about mining. you even dont know how hard this problem is before insulting ppl, so stfu.

P.S. I've already got the VBios for P104, any brand without ASUS and GIGABYTE can open all 8GB mem I'll share it on TechPowerUp and give a link later.
wow. share the details, please. thank you Smiley

upd. there is a 8 GB vbios on techpowerup - https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/208828/208828.
flashed that file to my Palit P104-100s - and it's working, 8 GBs of RAM became available.
but for some reason with this vbios the card starts to throttle itself with soft power cap at 30-40 W, despite showing correct 180W power limit in nvidia-smi output. so overall performance is lower.

m8, I downloaded the rom you provided but with nvflash on linux, it says nothing changes to my current galaxy P104, did you use windows nvflash? just a nvflash 208828.rom worked? Just want to check this bios to check which works better.

upd. done with parameter -6 after nvflash.

cheers m8, i'm currently using HiveOS, which shows no diff with normal 4GB ver. I'll use a hardware power meter to find out how much more power it is using. thx a lot.

can't you get that new bios from your friend and flash it yourself with nvflash?

first of all P104-100 typically have only 4 GB of Ram.
4 GBs are available, but actually there are 8 GBs soldered on board.

So you think they were all suppose to be 8GB boards but some of them were defective so they just disabled 4GB and there must be a magical way to enable the rest of the RAM?  Roll Eyes

anyone knows how to open all 8GB VRAM on P104-100 to mine Grin31?

it should be done with bios modding.

Privacy is always important
No it won't work I tried my gtx 1070 8gb don't work on c31 to mine grincoin.

I tested to mine on gtx 1080ti it works fine mining with c31.

Why not use the bminer the latest version I heard that it works 8gb cards with this miner here is the official thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2519271.2540

upd. solution found: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/208828/208828 thanks darkneorus!

use nvflash to flash your card which is not asus or gigabyte, you'll get all 8GB working on board.
