17 R1, GTX 780m VBios

So , I have searched the forum over and over and turned up nothing asked already, so I figured I would here.  For my 2014 Alienware 17 R1, I upgraded to the gtx 780m a few years ago over the stock gtx 765m, and I've always had small issues with it, nothing big.. but enough to be annoying. I finally downloaded gpu-z to see what vbios it had, and much to my surprise it listed the vbios as "unknown", so just to check, I swapped it out with the 765m and was able to see that gpu had a vbios listed..

My question is, is there anyone out there who might know of a viable vBios for the gtx 780m that is dell compatible? I strongly believe that is why it has its.. shall we say.. issues. I have not been able to find any sort of bios listed on it with any check I have ran.

I know my Alienware m17x R3 had a vBios update for the gtx 580m, and that worked perfect, so I was wondering if there was anything similar for the gtx 780m.. some program i can throw on a dvd and have it self update the vbios like the 580m.. i looked at nvFlash, and I'm far to novice for that, plus.. couldnt find a vBios file.

It will have the i7-4940mx in it by the end of the week finally as well, and with 32gb of ram it should be a pretty sturdy machine. For now it has the 765m back in it for stability, but i would like to find a way to resolve, or i might just get the 880m (at which point i might need the 330w power supply)
