Hi All,
I'm having some issues running an older GTX 780 reference model (the one with the metal heatblower) with a B350+2600X combo.
The 780 is fine, and so is the 2600X/B350. The 780 won't post while the PCIE slot is set to Gen1/2 (documented issue) with Zen+ 2xxx CPUs.

AMD basically says run the GPU in PCIE1.0 to get it to work. This is fine and all, if this was the end of it, since PCIE 1.0 probably won't starve the GTX 780 anyway. My problem is that the computer will now boot but gaming of any sort will result in a black screen after a few minutes in. Chipset and GPU drivers are updated, and I can confirm the GPU was still working since it was last in my Haswell rig.
Upon further reading, it seems all 780s with 80.10.xx VBIOS have this compatibility problem. Palit seems to have never released an updated VBIOS, if techpowerup is any indication. HOWEVER, other manufacturers have, and it seems to be fixed with the GTX 780 VBIOS versions that start with the 80.80.xx
Is it possible to flash the VBIOS with an updated one from a different manufacturer?
Looking at this EVGA one, which seems to be a reference model.

Relevant Specs:
2600X
Gigabyte AB350N Wifi Bios F23D
8GB DDR4 2133
GTX 780; used to be a GT 1030
Corsair RMX 550
I'd rather not spend cash out on a new card since this is my GTX 780 I'm basically gifting to a relative.
Thanks!
