Hello, I wanted to upgrade my Graphics Card to a GTX 1650 Super, but it won't work. Me and someone I know found a Solution.

It may be a OEM-Lock because Pegatron Corp. Motherboards are mainly used in pre-built pc's. Is there a OEM-Lock that I can unlock so I can use my graphics card? The GPU uses PCI-E Version 3.0 and the Motherboard 2.0 but the 3.0 GPU's are compatible with the 2.0 version. I would appreciate an answer.

The motherboards listed below have have a bios "mod" to allow UEFI graphics cards to be used

Looks like your 2ab6 can be flashed.

 

Is it possible that 2ab6 may have v 1..0, v 1.1 or v 2.0 design changes and still be named 2ab6

 

The software that does the flash has been changed to allow forcing the flash and not check for errors.    It is possibly your motherboard may not work after flashing

 

My Cupertino2 HP Pro 3400 flashed perfectly allowing gtx-1070 but I had to use a 750 watt supply and an ATX case.

I've also upgraded my 350w PSU to a 500w PSU. What do you mean by flashing or better, how do I flash my BIOS?

I would like to not flash. As I found out it can brick my pc if something goes wrong. I need a way to unlock these OEM Settings in a safer way if possible. Tomorrow I can look up more.

The download should have instructions for flashing.

It runs under windows so no need to boot dos
