extremetheme I linked it on the previous page, I think it is the latest BFG BIOS, here it is again :

Yeah thats like how it is, with 1.5 the textboxes show you the values from the hexview where they think the memory speed is.
If they are pointing at the wrong position you see wrong values.
If you dont change the wrong values there should happen nothing, your BIOS is saved exactly as seen in the Hexview.

But could i see your BIOS plz which shows not correct? :)

Hi, i only heard bad things about nvflash 5x with 6800s, nvflash4.41 or 4.42 is said to be working much better.
To check if you have throttling, try rivatuner. It monitors your clockspeed, you can see if the speed drops during a game or in windows etc.

Thanks. I will give that a shot and check it out. Maybe I will need to reflash with the 4.42 version. Right now it seems good though.

I don't see an option in RivaTuner for monitoring clock speed? What is it under?

Thanks extreme you have been a great help. Everyone here at this forum is great. How do I get it to minimize so that I can view it while playing a game? I DL'd NVFLASH 4.42 on your recommendation and it works perfectly for flashing my 6800 Ultra. The 5.08 was a nightmare but the 4.42 was flawless. Thanks again.

Wow I figured it out and the Riva Tuner fix seems to be defeating the throttling. Right now my temeratures are 15C and my clock speeds are 500/1250 according to the RivaTuner hardware monitor. So that means that the EnablePerfLevelForcing 1 did the trick. Otherwise it would be throttling down right? WoooHooo I am a happy man.......Thanks guys.

Does anyone know how to get low level overclocking working in rivatuner? Im using forceware 61.77 and it says its not officially supported, I guess thats why the low level ocing part is unavailable. Is there a registry tweak to force it to be enabled? Id really like to see if low level will get me higher clocks.

You dont need to minimize it just start the game with it visible and then alt-tab, should work fine depending on the game.
Strange that you had problems with 5.08, I havnt.

what would you do in low level overcloking that will alow you higher clocks??

Ive read that it usually clocks higher than driver level overclocking.

what happens if we set the throttle to 1.5v? :rolleyes:

If you have good cooling set all the voltages to 1.5 volts. I think when it throttles it really throttles to the 2D setting so make them all the same to be sure. My throttling was 100% cured with the RivaTuner fix.

This one. It cured the throttling issue for me.

I only did what was in the 1st picture and it worked. I didn't need to do what was in the second.

Sweet.. BTW how you like that OCZ 4000 Gold Ed? Those Rev.2's?

I love them. I have not really tested them to there fullest yet though. Still trying to get the most out of the GFX card. One project at a time for me.

OK after some testing I have come up with some more information. If you read some of my earlier posts you read that I have tried many things to get around the Throttling issue and I thought it was the RivaTuner but now I am not sure? I disabled the PerfLevelForcing rebooted then clocked my gfx card up to 502/1300. I then opened the Nvidia control panel to see my temps which are at 15C right now so throttling should occur. I then clocked up the Video Card to 502/1300 and opened RivaTuners Hardware monitor. I was expecting to see the clock speeds at 475/1200 which is what I had flashed the BIOS to and expected it to be there because the card should be throttling at 15C. It was still running at 502/1300? So my best guess is that flashing the BIOS was the cure for the throttling? When I flashed my BIOS I changed the 3D, 2D and Throttle voltage all to 1.5 volts. I also changed the clock speeds for both 3D and 2D to be 475/1200. I am assuming that the throttling must be totally controlled by the voltage settings?

I dont trust that riva monitor.. cause i noticed some wacky results with it. Like it would stick on the 3d Speed then randomly do down to 2d clock speed.. I dunno...

What bios did you just flash?

I used my own eVGA Ultra BIOS I just edited it using the OmniExtremeEditFX version 1.5 and flashed with NVFLASH version 4.42

Any news on that new BFG BIOS I uploaded ExtremeTheme ? Is it safe for me to go editing the voltages only with it and saving it. My Dangerden waterblock may arrive tommorow and im raring to get it rolling :)

Thanks alot

Hi, the 2D Speed will be corrected in next version. Editing the Voltage and 3D Speed will work as long as you dont edit the 2D ones.

Thanks alot, thats been a real help.

Shame FedEx have just managed to smash my water block up and it arrived in pieces today.

Thanks again.

What happens when you edit the 2D voltage and core/memmory speeds in 2D? I did both 3D and 2D on my Ultra and evrything is working fine.

The newer bios's no longer seem to have separate entries for 2d and 3d, since the bios now sets them the same. There's now only one set of core/mem numbers in the bios to change.

For those who where looking for the newest nVidia BIOS Editor they can get a copy here :
nVidia BIOS Editor

What is new?
Changes in this Version
- Changed name from 'OmniExtremeEdit FX' to 'NiBiTor' (nVidia BIOS Editor) name is much shorter and makes more sense...
- Fixed BFG6800U 2D Speeds
- Fixed 5900XT Timing A
- 5900 Class: Memory Speed will be set the same in all modes, to avoid possible conflicts with Beta ForceWare Drivers
- Added Option to edit memory speed table entries for problematic 5700 BIOSes
- Fixed new versions link

Enjoy :-)
