I need the ASUS V8200/DELUXE/P/64 (GF3 TVR) BIOS to repair a card I have but I can not for the life of me find it online anywhere. The ROM chip is labelled 3.20.00.10.AS01 and the only GF3 BIOS I can find is 3.20.00.10.02 which I fear my lose the TVR funcionality.. If anyone has this card and can dump their BIOS I would be incredibly grateful. Cheers!

I have a V8200/Deluxe/P/64/M/G in for repair, does that BIOS do you any good?

That is EXACTLY the Bios I need, can you please dump it with nvflash 4.10? I would be so eternally grateful to you.

Also, what is the problem with your card? Mine gets detected by the board, the POST is fine and the system works in headless mode but it outputs no video at all..

The box label on my V8200 claims it is a ASUS V8200/DELUXE/P/64M/U. The ROM chip is labelled 82A01 / 3.20.00.10.AS01. It worked when I put it back in the box years ago. I can dump the BIOS tomorrow if it is the one you need.

Yeah I'll do that probably tomorrow.
This card had memory errors and screen artifacts but the mats test showed errors only on a single bit. This was a corroded solder joint underneath the GPU. I got away with a GPU reflow on that card.

I also have an Elsa GF3 in for repair and that needed two new memory chips. And another Elsa GF3 Ti 500 needed a new voltage contoroller and surrounding capacitors and a Medion GF3 which had blown caps. You can't really pinpoint it on a single issue with those cards. 😉

Thank you, really looking forward to get your BIOS dump and try it!
