long story short:

tired of my desktop that consumed almost 1 kw every time I turned it on, I decided to try one of those latest generation mini PCs. Knowing that they are re-engineered laptops motherboard, I was looking for a compromise between performance and consumption.

so about a year ago i bought this Mini PC ( AceMagic M2A StarShip - https://acemagic.eu/products/m2a-minipc ).

I was honestly very satisfied with the performance and especially with the consumption in fairly heavy gaming situations: Rust, FC 25 mostly.

the only flaw of this pc is that unfortunately the GPU ID has been customized. ( leaving aside the fact that even on the official site it is not reported anywhere that custom drivers are needed )

%NVIDIA_DEV.249C.0000.10DE% = Section070, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_249C&SUBSYS_000010DE

NVIDIA_DEV.249C.0000.10DE = “NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU”

Not being in the list of nvidia drivers, to install the drivers each time you have to “modify” the .inf file by hand. I’m not very familiar with this kind of things and i actually don’t know if are “legit”, but I was wondering if is possible to modify the Subsystem id to avoid the “manual work” every time there’s a driver update.

I read about NVFLASH but i need some kind of “guide”

Thanks in advance for your support

ping?

thanks for the reply.

just to make sure I wrote the question correctly: my question was whether it is possible to avoid manually editing the .inf files at each driver update....

(thus avoiding the procedure to bypass the digital signature check)

but I see that you linked me the tutorial to edit the .inf files

is there a way to permanently change the Subsystem ID (associating it with a similar chip) directly on my card so that I do not have to operate manually?

tnx again for your support
