Hi ! I have MSI NX7900GTO-T2D512E (flashed 7900GTX bios) 690/800 but my results are:
3DMark03 20100
3DMark05 9060
With the stock bios results were at 690/750 max stable
3DMark03 20600
3DMark05 9160
So looks like I gained nothing with 7900GTX bios but it doesent matter. I wonder:
Why do I get those results at the first time (stock bios) when your results are much much better.
PC I have : Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9-RH
AMD Athlon 3000 Venice 244x9 (2.20 MHz)
Kingston 512 cl 2.5 PC3200
Corsair 512 cl 2.5 PC3200
MSI GeForce 7900GTO (flashed GTX) 512MB 690/800
HDD WD 120 & 160 IDE 8MB
Samsung CD/RW & DVD/RW
Floppy Sony
Chieftec 420W
Modem Lucent 56K -----
P.S. I red something that it might be board like it has slower PCI-E. What do you think folks. Thanks in advance !!!
Your rather lowly clocked CPU might be the big bottleneck. ;)
Well thanks for the hint. It undoubtedly helped about 3dmark05 but for 3dmark03 not a bit. I'll see if it'll make any difference when I get ASUS A8N-E. Thanks anyway...... Regards from Balkan :)Quote:

The difference will be that the memory timings are slightly different, the GTO mainly uses more strict timings and therefore the memory is acting a bit quicker resulting in better performance but less able to overclock. So I found out that bios v.39.09 is better in overclocking....so I flashed it and I gets 690/810. My stock bios v39.15 is very poor one in overclocking. Who gets that bios let change to v.39.09. All that makes a little difference because main problem is CPU for sure. But when you start playing the game you had played before you got GTO, everything becomes immaterial. "So get your brain back to your game" :))))))))) Thanks a lot folks..............Regards from Balkan !!!
With GTX bios I could only OC to 740 in mem ! But with the .09 GTO bios from Alexandrus I get 896 in autodetect !!!!! and can reach 960 w/artifacts !!!! INCREDIBLE ! :D
hi all, this is my first post here. been following this thread for a while tho so i decided to register so i can get some assistance :D. i got my GTO running at 722/1630 on stock everything. i would like to try the bios that Alexandrus modified. is it for the MSI or Evga model. i have the Evga model. thanks in advance! i really like the idea of getting the performance of a $400+ card after spending ~$250 :D
It's for any GTO card, so if your stock BIOS can go as high as 1630MHz on RAM, go ahead and try it, but it won't make much difference I think, you already have quite nice locks for a stock GTO, especially on the core.
ok no probs. where do i find the bios file? or ur gonna send that to me in a pm....
*EDIT*i found the bios u posted. it works really well. got a few mhz on the mem and on the core. what are the timings of the mem in ur bios?
hmm.. i've read all the posts, but still dont have a clear mind on this matter:
is flashing bios is enough to set mem voltage as on GTX cards, or do i have to voltmod anyway???
you have to voltmod to change the voltage.Quote:

He got good results with it. How is it different to stock bios?
If you read the topic you will find out. GTX has different memory timmings.
Yes, I use it, it's the same as any other 7900GTX bios thoughQuote:

Try a delta 0 bios and find your max shader clock, then change the delta settings so you max out both shader and geometric core. This way you gain the most from your card.
As for the memory clock, its not that bad for a stock cooler. If you want to clock it higher just do one of the Vmem mods, Ive tried both and they seems to work just fine. Memory also seem to scale really good with voltage. One of my card max out @ 880 with 1.98V and the other @ 845 same volt.

how do i find the max on the geometric & shader core? or can i just use ur bios?

Just DL nibitor and edit your own bios with that. If you want to check the current clocks of your cores theres a analysis tool in RivaTuner.
Id give you my bios but I have the MSI 7900GTO and Im not sure it will work with your brand of card.
yep it'll work. the bios im running right now is from an msi card. got it from Alexandrous.
Same here and it rules :clap:Quote:

so that means im already running maxed out then? cuz im using ur bios as well. also, the day u get it to display as GTX could u sent it to me plz? :D thanks....
