Is it even possible to flash Nvidia GPU's?

Yes, but I'm not sure what the reason is for flashing in this particular case.

this is awesome, now someone just needs to make a bios mod program like PBE so we can do all sorts of neat things with the bios for NVidia!!!! ive been wondering if there was a flashing program

whats the point of flashing if you can't edit bios? flashing bios from different card will most likely brick your card ...

nvidia 10 series cards have encrypted bios, thats why we haven't seen any bios mods for these cards.

Nvidia is encrypted, I have a friend on the nvidia beta test crew and has the tools to decrypt it , mod it and then though you have to send to nvidia for approval for it to even be able to be uploaded and work.  Crazy.

my p106 is not recognized by windows for some reason...

tried all drivers out there nothing, clocks show zeros on GPUz

Then RMA your cards :)

If windows doesnt recognize it how do you see zero clocks?   Just use the drivers from the manufacturers website and it should work fine.

its not quite an encryption, also you do know if you can make a bios you can send it too NVidia for verification that it will not damage the gpu and they will certify it if its good. btw that flashing program can remove the protection from the bios and put it back on as per what the readme says for the flashing program

and just came across this NVidia gpu bios editor. looks like its got some pretty advanced settings to play with

I RMAed them

too much time spent on faulty cards/mobo

That's for Maxwell cards, it was possible to edit BIOSes with the previous gen GPUs. Not gonna work with Pascal.
If you've had the same problem with all the cards in the rig and not just 1-2 of them, then you're most likely doing something wrong. Or it's an issue with the motherboard. Why did you even try to flash your Colorful cards with the BIOS from a Gigabyte card? What's the point?
