Re: way to use all 8GB VRAM which is half disabled on P104-100 card
wow. share the details, please. thank you 
Okay, i flashed one P104-100 and it show me the 8GB in Hive OS.
But if i want to mine with that, i get no hashrate.
ETH phoenix Miner
BEAM bminer
no Hashrate.
what`s wrong?

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.

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.

In ETH - i dont see something new. look´s like i get around 1 mhs more. from 38,5 to 39,5mh/s
In BEAM - i got from 8-9 to 18-19 thats good, but not profitable.
The new BIOS does unlock the full 8GB but it's sometimes a bad idea for some of the 'mining cards' since the original BIOS sometimes come with custom timings. There is also a diff between Samsung (best) and other brands of RAM. The 42+ mh/s is definitely on mining bios, with custom memory straps, and mining bios.
