By, the way if you do not know about it, there is a very exceptional tool called RU.EFI (EFI version), and 16-bit DOS version, RU.EXE) which is an excellent utility to edit MTRRs, PCI Registers (Including onboard PCI soundcards!), BIOS NVME values, and other interesting hardware registers from DOS. Its functionality is similar to the GRUB command setup_var but much easier to use and to navigate. It may be possible to modify VBIOS code directly by using RU.EXE / RU.EFI, but probably very dangerous! But, then I have BIOS backups, and so do you (I hope!). This is link to RU.EFI:
