This will allow you to flash modded BIOS to your GTX 950, 960, 970, 980, 980Ti, Titan X. I did not make NVFlash. I edited it to allow the flashing of modified BIOS. If you try to flash a stock, none modified BIOS, it will not work.
Found a newer version of NVFlash than what is posted? @ me in the thread with a link and I will get it bypassed and updated.
New in version 5.287: Pascal Support. They changed a lot in the code and I had to find a new bypass point. You will see the following errors while flashing (that have been highlighted). You can ignore them and continue as normal.
Current Version of the NVFlash Certificate Checks Bypass: (USE ALL SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!)
Best version for MAXWELL GPUs! v5.218
