If you have the same video card, then download the BIOS firmware from it and replace the BIOS on the problematic video card. But always keep backups.
The RTX 2070 is perfectly flashed with the nvflash64 utility, and the BIOS can be used from a similar video card. But keep the original one to establish a warranty call.

Thank you for your message!
Unfortunately among my other gpus I don't have another one exactly the same. I'll try and see if I can download its firmware from the internet.
I don't have experience in flashing gpus. Do you have some tutorial to suggest?
Thanks in advance

BIOS

Utility and instructions

I only used 2 commands
nvflash64 -b backup.rom
This is a safe command

nvflash64 -6 newbios.rom

I didn't need this command
nvflash64 --protectoff

Thanks again for your help! These links are really helpful.
One last question: on techpowerup.com there isn't my gainward gpu firmware, but there are others from different brands very similar.

This is my gpu: https://www.gainward.com/main/vgapro.php?id=1025&tab=ov&lang=en
And this is a similar gpu from EVGA: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/207314/evga-rtx2070-8192-181023-1

They both are dual fan RTX 2070 with 8-pin power port.
Do you think this EVGA firmware is going to be ok on my gainward model?

Thanks in advance

Steelk
