Hi
After successfully soft-strapping some GeForce 8, 9, 200 & 400 cards to their Quadro counterpart, i'd like to modify my Gigabyte GTX 670 (GTX 680 pcb). Hard-modding is planned for the future (when i have a shiny new card and can afford toying around with Ol' Kepler), now i'm just looking for the K10 softmod (i'm ok with no-vga-passthrough when softmodding only, as it's for educational purposes).
I've read that it's possible just like with 4x0 -> Quadro Mod, but i've failed in finding the location for the soft straps in a Kepler GK104 bios. Are they still located @ 0x58-0x67 in a non-UEFI bios? If yes, is it then correct to assume they're located @ 0x458-0x467 in a UEFI bios?
I also would like to flash a real Quadro 5000 bios on my now-softstrapped GTX 470 and thus need to limit the amount of VRAM. I've found in some posts the offsets 9e00 - 9e30 for Kepler cards, is this also the right place for Fermi cards?
Thanks (and sorry for asking maybe redundant questions)
/edit:
I've found the posting about the part-soft-mod (#739), and still want to do that (as it's easily reversible). So i found a posting about soft-strapping Kepler (#602) , and it looks like my bios is already unlocked so now i'm still looking for the strap location to go from 1189 to 118F.
And for clarification: for hard-modding my Gigabyte GTX 670 WF3 2GB (based on reference 680 pcb) i only need to remove the 4th resistor from the back for Tesla K10, or remove resistor 1 & 3 from the front for GRID K2?

Regarding the soft-straps on Kepler: according to this posting
GT650M and GTX660M are based on GK107 which is a Kepler generation chip. You can use the soft-straps in the BIOS to change the device ID, same as on earlier Fermi and Tesla GPUs...
the strap area is to be found @ 0x58-0x67. But when looking at this offset, i only find the generic-looking
FF FF FF 7F 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF 7F 00 00 00 80
which doesn't look like any bootstrap i've seen in Fermi bioses.
Could anyone point me into the right direction with this?
