KGB is still not working with the gtx690 right. It does recognize the card and mods the bios. After I flash, there is no increased voltage. Same max clocks as before when overclocked. The %150 power target in up from %135 though, so I know KGB modded my bios'
I'm sure it can mod you bios, however kgb has nothing to do with flashing the bios back to your card. So if you cant flash a bios to your card then KGB cant help.Quote:

Sergio, the tool just modifies your saved bios dump. You use nvflash to flash the BIOS.
Best thing to do is save your original BIOS using the dump function of GPU-Z & store a copy away somewhere safe.
Use KGB to adjust/edit another copy of your bios then use nvflash to flash it. I would untill you get used to it just flash one card at a time & test it before doing the other & running them together.
I would if you are not used to flashing or recovering a failed flash/card highly recommend putting in place an emergency recovery plan before doing anything. You can find how to do this all over the net but simply put you need to make a bootable disk/flash stick etc & have a good known working bios/stock one on there ready to go in an emergency. I personally fly close to the wind on stuff like this & just get on & do it as I am confident I can recover in some way. I have a saved stock bios & I can always recover a goofed card using a blind flash/second video card/onboard video or old school pci video card.
Thanks buddy for your help as always ;) my friend nacho arroyo has 2 of this cards and needs to short a resistor to flash any bios, so i guess if i do wrong and want to go bacj i will have to do this, im just asking and getting to know the tool as my cards you know they do amazing clocks at stock volts but we always need more :)Quote:

Just type nvflash & it will display commands
very good
Save bios
Try this version of GPU-ZQuote:

Worked flawless on my EVGA GTX670 2gb ref.
I can adjust power to 150% and fan to 100% ( was stuck at 80% fan ).
Thanks CrazyNuts !
Please do anyone have an KFA2 GTX670 ref BIOS? Emergency... please PM
EDIT: 2GB version.
Just wanted to chime in and thank CrazyNutz . I unlocked my GTX 680 reference stock Bios using default .cfg. My card has never been a good overclocker, I could only keep the core at 1192 mhz max boost stable while playing Far Cry 3 (this game rapes my card). After unlocking I went up to 1251 mhz and no lockups after playing for about 30 minutes, haven?t really tried to go higher, will update post with my final stable oc this evening.
Does this thing work for the Gigabyte GTX 690?
I have added support for 690, power target, and fan control has been confirmed to work.Quote:

Could you please give me an update if you are able to implement my requests in to your KGB tool? Not asking for a specific dead line, but would like to know if its possible.
Thanks.
660gtx oem 3gb kgb editor doesn't work properly:( Doesn't change voltage etc and display drivers doen't work properly.
My bios - http://www.sendspace.com/file/et4su3
Voltage
2d - 0.887v
3d - 1.087v
Power board - 100wat , max power target - 132wat
Yeah i managed to flash the bios on both gpu's and the core with boost at stock is usually around 1189mhz.Quote:

At stock ingame i used to get 1045 and 1058 now i get 1079 and 1084, quite a large boost!
Using the voltage tweaker in EVGA precision it is still set at 1175.
This is with 130 oc on the core and 500 mem on the core.
Gonna try stability and benching with 3D Mark and Heaven later on
Hi everyone,
I'm really interested in giving this a shot. I just bought this card, is it compatible? (It says it is built to Nvidia spec, I didn't know if that meant OEM or not):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133470
It should be. give it a shotQuote:

If you measure closer to the VRM section (i.e. like most people do) you will always get a higher voltage.
I'll explain: The voltage will drop across the small distance between the VRM, and the GPU. So the VRM section
must compensate for this drop by raising the voltage.
You can lock the GPU clock with NvidiaInspector which is even better because the clock won't swing up and down. Unlike the K-Lock feature in EVGA Precision this one really locks the clock and it holds it there even if you approach your power target limits.
nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:0,0,0 -setpowertarget:0,150 -setVoltageOffset:0,0,120000 -setGpuClock:0,2,1262 -forcepstate:0,2

The writing in red you can delete if you are only using one card! The values in yellow are your core/memory clocks so change to the values you want! My cards can take those values easy. The blue line will make your pc goes to High Performance mode (my case cpu will run at 4.8 all times during the gameplay) and the green line will bring back to balance mode! Copy and paste from @ECHO OFF to last line where ends like this -setPowerTarget:1,100 on a notepad file and save as all files .bat (in that case farcry3.bat) on your game directory!Create a shortcut on the desktop and right click on it and put run: minimized!I have one for each game that is around 20! Some games for some reason this trick does not work! After you leave the game everything goes back to savings mode (gpu/cpu)!
Damn i updated far cry 3 to 1.03 and lost my saves :(((
I have a backup but it does not recognize them uffff
I had that SOC that you have. Awesome card. You can flash it with nvflash I've done it. I used the lightning bios and was able to crank voltages up to 1.26, more with a memory editor and my highest stable at 1.26 was 1400. The card was recognized as a lightning in afterburner even had triple voltage support. Those cards are tanks. They also have voltage check pointsQuote:

Quick question. Do we know what Gigabyte does differently (any clues from their bios?) to achieve higher max boosts at lower settings with their GTX 660ti OC model (GV-N66TOC-2GD)? Seems to be the case in this and other reviews:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/gra...i_3.html#sect0
p.s.For those who cant extract their bios with GPU-z, heres a database of bios @techpowerup.
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/
I did not really see what the boost was. However what I can see is the memory clock on this card is through the roof at 7468mhz, this probably accounts for most of the enhanced performance.Quote:

Its stock boost (1111mhz) peaks to 1293mhz under load while the Zotac (same boost clock, 1111mhz) only peaks to 1215mhz. The Gigabyte card has a higher peak boost than all other 660ti's (about 182mhz vs around 100mhz for other 660ti's). This 'extra boost' was also seen in other reviews I believe.Quote:

I dunno whats up with the task scheduler, I assure you I do not do that nor do I make any windows API call's directly at all. KGB was written on linux, and ported over to windows with MinGW.
The virus/trojan Is a false positive. I compile with MinGW, and software compiled with MinGW has been known to get false positives from some virus scanners:

I simply wanted to give you the opportunity to resolve the issue on your own, which you have done well, its the only reason i posted a link. The last thing we want on our hands, is an epidemic across the internet.
Keep up the good work.
Yes thanks for bringing that to my attention :) That certainly could have gotten out of hand.Quote:

I have created a new version https://www.dropbox.com/s/fqy9txhgca250qi/kgb_0.5.5.zip
I need some testers with a card that has a UEFI vbios.
Also this version will show your max boost clock. (can't change it yet, but that's just around the corner)
Any luck with that boost cap value? I think that's critical in making any OC software redundant.
edit - nvm just read the above post!
CrazyNutz, thanks for all your work on this! I gave 0.5.5 a try thinking that my Asus GTX680-DC2-4GD5 would take it. While I get no errors in the process, I get a Code 43 whenever I restart with the modified BIOS. I've done a bit of searching and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one to have this happen. :(
Throwing you a copy of my BIOS, in case it's a problem anybody runs into in the future: http://db.tt/y6qYSdiC
In addition to the max boost clock setting it would be great if we could get a base clock setting and memory speed setting. I personally like to test the card(s) and then flash the bios with stable clocks and not worry about software other than monitoring :)
Thanks for the effort put into this already it's greatly appreciated :up:
keep the good work crazynutz and happy new year !!!
and for all !!!
Yes, the code is in, I'm just trying to get the uefi thing out of the way first.Quote:

I have tested this thoroughly because I have heard too many times that afterburner doesn't report the correct voltage. Afterburner indeed does report the correct software voltage. The hardware voltage is like I said usually an increase of that increment I mentioned.
1.2125v software is max doesnt matter what you put in the config file higher.
For reference cards yea I believe that just wondering how it affected Lightnings and other cards that were built to have voltage control. I used to take my old Galaxy card to 1.3 no problem just wonder if this mod will allow the same.Quote:

This is fine if you want to run benchies but for normal use it's insufferable. I don't want to push much harder than ~1.24v anyway, when my full cover block arrives, I think I'll be ~1293 and +750 mem BF3 & everything else stable which is plenty for my needs (currently at 1280/+750 stable on air).
Yea that's what I was using on my Galaxy 680 was the Lightning BIOS and AB. Mine adjusted to 1.25 max. I got bored one day and pushed it to 1.3 with a hexeditor and hit 1400 on air, temps were 73. My stable at 1.25 was 1350 with the current beta drivers at the time. This was July so it was 306 I believe. Day one for my card was stable at 1340 stock on 301, which crawled down with each driver release which is the trend with Nvidia lately. I really am pissed I made a user error with that card and shorted it. It was such a good chip.Quote:

No I used the factory Lightning LN2 BIOS, the one before they nerfed it, and flashed my card. That gave me, in AB's eyes, a Lightning. I had full voltage control to the 1.3 limit, though mine was limited to 1.25 under load mostly due to the card not being an actual Lightning but I had full working voltage control including memory and PLL which was actually working. The hexedit was a mod found a little bit later that allowed Lightning owners, and the rare group of us SOC owners, to basically set the voltage to whatever we wished per PC cycle (wasn't permanent it reset after you shut down). I really want to get another one of those cards but they are all refurbs. I basically became friends with the galaxy tech support because I was a pioneer of doing this so I had all the ins about it, was awesome. But yea I blew it with the DMM. I was so pissed. I just got the thing and was tired of sitting and probing while the tests ran so I set it up but the probe fell. Seriously made me so upset.Quote:

My thoughts it was just a limitation of the smbus and many variables of the BIOS trying to interact with non OEM hardware. And nothing really is wrong with the refurbs honestly I just don't wish to get one I would rather just spend the money on a Lightning. I was hoping to see a Lightning Xtreme variant by now but I guess not. I have a 4GB Galaxy 680 right now and I really love the extra VRAM. I want to go to 1440p just because I can keep the pixel density but up the size, which that's all the difference in resolution is anyway, 1600 being the least dense. I have an Acer 23.5 3D that I really find lackluster in image quality so I'm really looking to upgrade. I tried selling it with the 3D kit for a while but nothing came of it so oh well. I do a lot of photo editing and media viewing so I love having rich colors and crisp images. I wasn't thinking about any of that when I got this monitor.Quote:

No prob mate, sick cards you have there :up: The unlock was easy but your cards bios is different I think due to the very high bin chip and the way it's set up from factory(1202 base/1267 boost) but as you know they boost to 1293 stock - when unlocked max boost of 1399 is enabled which is a little high for air cooling. DICE or cascade maybe ;)
Anyway, KGB is awesome and I have seen hinted that base clock, mem clock and as we know already boost clock might be configurable soon :D These cards REALLY needed something like this. Thanks crazynuts you have given us the green light to enjoy our purchases the xtreme way :up:
Quite possibly yes, a mate was using a lightning mod bios and could not properly control the card either. I actually tried a SOC bios I unlocked on my lightning and it worked but my screen res was 1920x instead of 2560x1600 and though it was on HDMI rather than digital O.o Strange issue to have but there seems just enough to work but not work. Asus DCII bios artifacts during post, as does your galaxy bios and some evga's. I have found the stock KGB-unlocked bios is the best for the lightning, will be perfect when we can control base/mem/boost as well as voltage.Quote:

Hi,
I registered here because I think here are the people that can answer my question.
I have a Geforce 660 TI from Gigabyte with the OC Bios. The card Boosts to 1241 Mhz on Stock Settings (Power Target 100%) and Voltage up to 1.175 V with most Games/Benchmakrs. For testing I choose to turn off vsync to stress the card as much as possible.
What I experienced:
- When I increase the power target to 113% on some games/benchmarks the power consumtion of the card (reading in evga precision-x) increases to up about 110%. But the Boost speed stays at 1241 Mhz and the voltage stays at 1.175 Volts.
Why is the power consumtion of the card bigger if the voltage and the Boost Speed stays the same anyway? I can't understand that. I thought that a higher Power Target increases the voltage and increases the clock. But it doesn't seem to do that. What is the reason for the increased power consumtion, what does the card do internally to consume m?
Please help me out and explain me what the Power Target exactly changes.
measure with a Digital Multimeter and you will see that those 1,175 are really more volts...the tool here is very nice for unlocking some extra volts and gain some more clocks use it and you will be surprisedQuote:

If you have a lower power target when your card gets stressed in benchmark it will actually lower the voltage and clock speed.
I just been reading some of you that have flashed new bios still have voltage control.
I have the msi 660ti power edition that has voltage control on core memory and aux.
Since I changed to 1.2v bios the voltage control only seem able to turn voltage down and not increase voltage. Is this norml.
That did the trick! Thank you so much!Quote:

Hmmm I can pass unigine at 1306 but it gets sketchy over that and is sensitive to mem freq. I want to get this card on water and see what happens then. I can't OC in this heat it hits 73*C on auto fan real fast. Running 50%+ fan is annoying I'm used to a quiet watercooled rig.
yes after i posted i realized that is mem sensitive...but while i can game 3DM11 and furmark at 1320 i dont care :DQuote:

You also mentioned that you also found the location for 'max boost freq' - when looking at bios in hex editor what is the offset and colums of this max boost value?
