Util to edit the 6800 bios's?

And a late mirror of version 1.3 :-)

OmniExtremeEdit FX v1.3 - At mvktech.net

"xtremetheme" you have right for the memory multi, it's ok now, but for the noobies you can do something like the following....

Yeah if it confuses people i will do that.

And about the 1000mhz bug, its a limitation in the FX5xxxs BIOS structure.
You cant mod a BIOS with clocks higher than 655/1310. But i doubt somebody will reach that anyway :P
With 6800 series you can go to 65535/131070 mhz :P

thanx for ur tool xtremetheme just tested on my 5600NU Prolink w/ vgabios and it works great.
Some things to notice also. the ASUS bios and Prolink ones can modified and play with my card just fine (rev02 prolink's play too, though my card is rev01) but nvidia's reference one vgabios give me checksum error (and its for rev01)
Prolink’s rev01 BIOS the 2D clocks isn't detected right (shows values from 3D) but I modified it and it works fine.
I also changed timings from default 13-15-10-4-4 to 9-12-6-3-3 and it plays nicely w/o effecting gram oc mach and gained about 300marks at same speeds. The ICs is Samsung ones (don't remember part number). Is this sound right to u? or ver 1.3 can't detect gram timings correctly on this series.
Thanks for ur tool again great work. :toast:
The Prolinks re01 default bios is this one

Hello. Great tool, but on my GT its exactly the same as Desmondo tells. There are two different values for 2D/3D Core, but with your tool, i still can only edit one. Here is my Aopen 6800GT Bios.

Hi, i disabled that with purpose on the 6800GT because ppl said their GT always has the same clocks in 2D and 3D.
If you say you can have different 2D / 3D, i think i will enable it again.
But can you say me which clocks you get in 2D mode?

Sorry, that was my mistake. I Mixed it up with the manual overclocking settings, where you can set two rates for 2D and 3D.

A vote for your topic (and for your great job) Xtremetheme!;) :D

Anyone ever come across this error with Nvflash "Cannot Program A Non-Page Boundary" ?

Also has anyone got a backup of a Bios from a BFG 6800 Ultra with Fast Writes enabled (tried the one from www.mvktech.net), but its that Rom which gives the above error in Nvflash!!

Thanks for the help.

http://home.graffiti.net/omniextreme...Edit_FX1_3.rar

Mavke when you mirror this, can you include the release notes in the txt file you add to the download? That would make the txt a bit more informative.

So my tool supports now:
- 6800U/GT
- 5950U
- 5900/U/XT
- 5800/U
- 5700/U/LE
- 5600/U/XT
- 5500
- 5200/U

Cards im missing right now are the 5900SE and the 6800LE, correct?

I have a Albatron FX5900Xt and i use a original nVidia BIOS from FX5950Ultra ... and after all i reach 500Mhz1,5v GPU/ 950MhzMemory whit more relaxing latency.
I have a Quadro FX3000 BIOS, but your program can't open and edit it... :( Can you fix this ?!
I use thease sites:
http://www.hwspirit.com/downloads.php?for=nv
http://www.mvktech.net/download.php

I flash my Chaintech SA-FX5700 Ultra and now the default clocks are 500/1000MHz with 1.5v@3D, 1.4@Thrtl and 1.2@2D...

Some questions are following:

- Now, my memory timings are 21-25-14-7-8.... can somebody tell me what to change for better performance?

- From where i can see if the GPU voltage changed?

- My bios version is: "4.36.20.18.05", but i found from Gainward the "4.36.20.23.00". If i flash my Chaintech with Gainward's bios everything will be ok then?

u have to test it w/ vgabios first. In my case not all bios suited for my 5600 NU. I use 9-12-5-2-2 but I don't know if the prog recognizes (and sets) the timings value correctly in 5600 series.

Thx, i thought noone would use the Editor with a Quadro, but I will add support.

DMylonas
Making timings lower should give more performance. Making them higher should allow more mem oc.

If we test a bios at VGABIOS and it's ok what message we take back???

What is the best? Fast memory timings or bigger memory oc?

u must load the BIOS with vgabios from DOS, if it is a success then u must load WIN98SE to do some test of the new BIOS and modifications. Do not restart u have to type win on prompt so the Win begins with the loaded BIOS.

• Press F8
• Command Prompt only choice
• do ur staff
• if BIOS loads successfully (the string of the BIOS appears
• type win and ready to go

if the bios doesn't feet ur GPU either would not load @all or it will restart WIN before it enters.

I don't have Windows 98SE.... I use Windows XP Pro...

with XP no go it works only in 98. so u can test it in DOS only. but may cause u trouble in getting in to OS, so have a flashback Disk ready with an autoexec and the like ready, just in case

Exactly, remember vgabios can load a bios fine under dos, but at windows you can get gfx errors because the timings are too sharp.
Atleast you know your Card will boot into DOS so you can flash back.

At last i flash my cards timing from 21-25-14-7-8 to 19-21-10-6-7 and i put the freq to 1000MHz...

I thing the values are ok. Remember ur GPU uses DDR2 and mine DDR (TC33) so the values sound right to me. Have u noticed any performance increase with the tighter timings in 3Dmarks?

Take a look....
Before modded bios: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8029905
After modded bios: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8039460

Modded Bios gave me +389Marks, with lower CPU, GPU and Mem...

good ;) I took some points too (500) I just expected more, I guess I need more GPU clocks.

After a lot of bechmarks.... The best timings without any antifact was: 20-22-9-6-7 from 21-25-14-7-8....

It's time to do a vmod on my card :rolleyes:

Card: Chaintech SA-FX5700 Ultra 128MB
BIOS: 4.36.20.18.05

Im having a little problem flashing here. I just took off nvflash 5.08 and put on 4.41v (I must have got a bad file or something, but this one works now) and tried to flash. But when I flashed it this is what I got:

Should I not put cwsdpmi.exe on the floppy?

damn i got the same error... even when modifying my backup.rom... seems to be that it doesnt like anything changed in the bios file

here is my GT backup file... try it maybe it'll at least let you flash back and have a usable card again

*rename to .rom*

Will we ever be able to edit ram voltages using your bios utility?

Here is a copy of my PNY 6800 GT BIOS for your site, keep up the great work!

eVGA 6800 Ultra BIOS

For those of you that don't want to check I compared all the bioses linked in this thread, except all the ones from mvktech.net theres too many.

Mine and "N345" (the 6800 Ultra not UE) are the newest revision:
5.40.02.15.07, my eVGA BIOS might be different in some way but I guess its just trial and error to see which is best.

well somebody have a POV 6800 GT?

what bios uses?

Well I would like to announce that xtremetheme has again updates his great tool. And I would also like to thank him for the great work :-)

We are now at Release 1.4.
You can find the download at http://www.mvktech.net
Direct Link :
OmniExtremeEdit FX v1.4 - At mvktech.net


Release 1.4
--------------
- added display of effective memory speed, as it confused some people
- added support for 6800LE, Quadro FX1000/FX2000/FX3000

So with the latest update 1.5v in the tool = 1.5v with a multimeter?

Also the newest revision I've seen (checked with version 1.4) is 5.40.02.15.07 my eVGA6800U and the N345 BIOS are this revision. Do the Ultra Extreme BIOSes seem to clock better regardless of their lower revision?

I had a scan and i couldnt see any concrete resuls of improved overclocks with 6800GT's. What boost in stable core mhz are you guys getting by using 1.5v?

could someone tell me, where the measurement-points vor the VGPU on a GF6800Ultra are ? :)

For the 6800U it should be correct since v1.0. :)

"xtremetheme" i download the new version of your program 1.4 (very good the memory calculator), but i see the following.... where is the 1.5v?

And at the FX5700U the VGPU doesn't work...

As far as I know the 1.5V is only for 6800 Type of BIOS/Cards.
All the 5 series only can go till 1.4V.

I think its working, I don't have a multimeter tho, guess well have to wait for someone to check with that, before my stable 3dmark03 bench was 455mhz now its 470mhz, helped me break 14k :)

xtremetheme is it possible to set 1.6v through bios?

No, 5xxxx cards can also have 1.5V, but not all cards support.

all FX5900 support 1.5V

my old FX5900nU and XT did :) (both flashed with FX5950Ultra-Bioses)

Damn, I guess I'll need a voltmod has anyone done the volt mod yet?

ah, ok...xtremetheme, your 'backupx2.rom" does not have a 1.5v setting, yet when I flashed with it (2month ago maybe), i got my core to 500+, so it was noticable difference. Any thoughts?

opening the rom with v1.4
2nd edit, you are smarter than I, lol

edit: question has been answered by "mavke's friend" lol,

Mavke, please check out your thread at guru on this, people are coming to your defense immediately, including myself. Hilbert has been made to look rash in his decision. We want your posts back there, as it is hard enough to wade through the noobery enough at guru

East bay area!!! Sweet, i'm from santa clara county....yes people have volt modded all these cards...if you are watercooled, and use the 1.5v setting, your 6800 should be hitting close to 500 core.

I'm getting the NV Silencer 5 ;) Anybody know if these cool the 6800s ram also? If it doesnt Im gettting some bga sinks.

no, it says it does not cool the ram. a lot of ppls are talking abou this, but i would seriously wait i f i were u and see if they can even outperform the stock reference ultra cooler....

my ram is cooled by the stock heatsink, very ugly, very effective....1.30ghz is no problem with no extra cooling. ddr3 runs cool...i think both the mem and core are fairly volt limited if u can provide even decent cooling, (e.g. basic watercooling setup)

I'm sure it cools better than the stock hsf given their track record with the vga silencer and it is made of copper, my vga silencer rev2 on my aiw 9700p feels alot heavier than the 6800.

YES, it DOES cool the mem.

check it out.....


http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...186-120&depa=0

Ah they finally updated the pics, I think the copper block could be bigger but then it might be too heavy. Uses all 4 mounting holes too, I'm glad I ordered one :toast: I dont think itll be here tomorrow but should arrive on monday I'll post results then, how much should lapping improve performance?

xtremetheme,

Would it be easy to add the ability to change the manufacturer ID of a rom, so that people didn't have to force the flash of a rom from another manufacturer?

Yeah sure i will add that. :)

Hey xtremetheme,

I send you some mails and also the nVidia Quadro FX 4000 BIOS :-)
Can you support that one in the tool as well?

Regards,
Mavke

does anyone have BFG 6800 ultra BIOS ? I have a 6800 gt BFG and in rivatuner it shows as a nv40[A1] CORE how do I chack if im getting 16 pipelines thanks.

A GT has 16 pipeline :-)
And a Ulra also :-)
Only difference is the Core clock and Mem Clock!
I can send you the BFG 6800 Ultra OC BIOS if you want...

Mavke thanks man.very kind of you but the reason I asked is beacuse I tried flashing the ultra BIOS on my GT and NVFLASH wasnt letting me it said the bios were for board nv41 and mine was nv40 I downloaded the bios from you website I think. and I wanna flash the ultra bios to my GT cause I think there might be more to it than just core clocks maybe MEMORY TIMINGS?? :)

Well you can if you use the correct switch to disable the board version checking, you should read the Articles on my site about Flashing the BIOS!

ohh maybe cause I have the new 6800 gt with the dual heatsync fan. ON my previous 6800 GT I had the heatsync fan with the heatpipes. (no fans) SO if anyone out there has the new 6800gt please send me your bios file ;)

That is not the issue if you try to flash a GT to Ultra you might get that issue but you can remove that checking of the chip id with a -flag ...

And then it will flash without looking at that...
a:\nvflash -5 -f file.rom [Enter]
or
a:\nvflash -5 -6 -f file.rom [Enter]

Quote:

---

a:\nvflash -5 -f file.rom [Enter]

---

thats exatly what I did but I guess is not possible I have to wait till somebody finds a workaround to this cause everytime I tried it kept on telling me there was a board mismatch ID the one in the rom was 4008 and my board was 4007

Quote:

---

a:\nvflash -5 -6 -f file.rom [Enter]

---

man, how do i flash with nvflash ?

it doesn't work !

i boot from the ms-dos bootdisk....

then i type "a:\nvflash -5 -6 -f [FILE.ROM]"

then nvflash shows me a lot of its options and commands and tells me 4-5times to "Press Enter to continue or Q to quit"....i always press enter (it doesn't matter WHAT i press, he always goes on with its F*CKING commands :mad: ) and then, after showing me its list of the supporting EEPROMs, it shots me out to
a:\

what i'm doing wrong ?

(btw, there isn't the "-f"-command listed....is it maybe another command, to flash the BIOS ?)

Did you try WFFlash?

yep! did both comands using wfflash and it kept on saying file 123.rom wrong size

"nvflash -e" to erase the epprom.

"nvflash -p -u -f -----------.rom" for standard flash.

"nvflash -p -u -2 ------------.rom" to force a flash.

if you use the erase epprom command, before a flash you can pretty much flash anything.
just don't reboot after erasing the epprom.
just enter a regular command to flash after erasing the epprom.

kunaak I did that and it was a no go. on WFFLASH it said "THE FILE SIZE OF 123.ROM IS WRONG -f402':smileysex

can somebody make a ponit of view 6800GT BIOS optimized?

blass

I was talking about NVFlash, 4.42 in particular.
I never tried WFLASH.

look at the stick called "where to find various videocard bioses" in there is mavke.net or close, and you can find lots of versions of NVFLASH in that website, including version 4.42

for some reason version 5.08 just doesn't work for me, but 4.42 flashes anything for me.

AcUaViVa

extract your bios using NVFLASH from a dos boot disk, and post it here. theres tons of people that can mod it for you.

if no one mods it for you, I will.
it's no big deal, I'll change the voltages from 1.4 volts to 1.5 and set your clocks to 400/1000, thats a nice easy OC and will give you more start speed.

extract it by using this command.

"nvflash.exe -b backup.rom"

ah, ok, used wfflash :)

now i've a 1.5V-BIOS on my card :D (exactly 1.511V)

getting 470/1260MHz without artifacts and absolutly stable :)

(under a waterblock - max-temp under "live-load" -> 55°C after 15mins)

OK I flashed the ultra XFX 6800 on my BFG and it worked. so far is working fine :) no problems here

Hello,

Here's my original BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC BIOS.

BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC BIOS v05.40.02.05.12


Here's what happens when I open it in OmniExtremeEditFX 1.4.

http://www.hardnsoft.net/images/mods/bfgbios.jpg

As you can see my clockrates in 3D are "a little" off. Can this cause a problem? As it is the card seems to be stable at stock clocks, but I get 5-10 second freezes in 3DMark03(haven't tried any games yet). Should I go ahead and set 3D clocks to 425/1100 using the tool?

Thanks.


P.S. First post. :)

Anyone have an Original Evga 6800 GT Bios they can upload here? Or perhaps one that has already been modded to run at 400/1100 with 1.4volts?

Soon it will be on my site (the new that is about to get finsihed)...

Hey guys,

I'm planning on flashing my BFG 6800 U OC to a BIOS from different vendor(trying to solve freezing problems).

Does anyone have recommendations for which one I should try?

Thanks.

wow im having the same problem with my bfg gt... freezes every few seconds then just freezes for good

my pny 6800U does the same thing...i have to use coolbits to set the 3d clocks to 400 bc anything over that and i get short freezes followed by a permanate freeze in both 3dmarks.

BlackHawk

That all has to do with the older BIOS Versions on those cards...
This is generally fixed in the new BIOS versions (eVGA has already released them).

what bios file should i use for my pny 6800 Ultra and where would i get it. Also would i need to update the bios first before i modified it.

BlackHawk

hm, i've a problem...

my Ultra doesn't like 1.5V....i can flash the UE-BIOS and it works fine...but i can't push ONLY ONE MHz more with 1.5V against 1.4V-default-bios.....and he freezes @ Doom3 with the 1.5V-BIOS....the freezes disappears when i clock down to 440MHz (@ sig: max stable-clock = 470MHz)

the max-temp is @ 65°C under my waterblock under load (mesuared with "DX9 Real-Time High-Dynamic Range Image-Based Lighting v1.2")

so, what could it be ?

maybe someone knows, why it doesn't like the 1.5V or knows a solution for the problem....

how can i flash my GT with an ultra bios? i tried and it sais board id mismatch when i do put the -5 -6 commands

use the nvflash -e to erase the eprom, then don't reboot, and then use the bios flash to the ultra bios your trying.

This is my bios number 5.40.02.15.07 Should i try to flash with another bios...i had freeze problems for away but they have seemed to go away but yet i still dont get good performance. I have a 3.0C at 3.75 1:1 and the graphics card at 440/1.13 and i only get 22000 in 3dmark01

6800s seem to suck for 3d01se, and I think trilinear might be forced on them.

Heres my evga 6800U bios 5.40.02.15.07 @ 1.5v works fine for 3d03 with 470/1.25 and I think I can get more.

A lot of people including myself have had troubles when flashing a GT with an Ultra Bios. There are some minor differences in the cards that could cause this. The Ultra uses Dual DVI and a Multispeed fan, the GT does not.

I would suggest using a modded GT bios with an additional .1 volts and perhaps an Ultra speed as opposed to the Ultra bios itself.

For example, with an Ultra bios my GT was unstable at 370/1100 but with a modified GT bios it was completely stable at 400/1100. With watercooling it's now running at 460/1200 with 1.4volts and bios settings of 450/1200.

Oh and for those having Bios issues I've found that the Leadtek bios is very stable on my evga card. You just have to deal with that ugly boot screen for a second :(

No matter if i use nvflash(4.41 or 5.08) or wfflash i cant update my bios for my pny 6800 Ultra. nvflash says it cant find a nvidia adapter and wfflash just says programming failed. The bios i'm trying to flash is just a modified version of the original. The only thing i want to change is the 1.5v option so i can oc some more.

Hello, Im a XFX owner,now reading around I found the Version 5.40.02.10.14
the best bios for the 6800 Ultra,(i have the 5.40.02.10.04 on my XFX) , this is from Geinward, I edited the bios to 450/1200 gived the right voltag but then when I put this bios and I test the voltage with the tester the Voltage is still 1.40.V....
sem like the votlage dont work with the program.
can you cheak please? tnx.
just think with the same bios same frequenz I gained 200 point more point on the 3dmark 2003 with the geinward bios and under stok air the fan spin faster so the card is better cooled.
this is the final bios I suggest every1.

are the bios revisions universal between companies? because eVGA has a 15.7 while you are talking about a 10.14

so far on my XFX I tested all the bios I found online.thsoe are al lreference nvdia so bios are fine.

I have a BFG Ultra OC with bios Version 5.40.02.15.11 and the Bios editor verison 1.5 detects it all OK apart form the 2d speeds which it says are 11264 core and 11264 mem !

How do I get around this ?

Heres a link to the bios : http://www.bentinck-cleeves.demon.co...6800_Ultra.ROM

I am running a Swiftech MCW50-T on my 6800 Ultra. So far the 80 watt TEC seems to be keeping up as my idle temps are 14C and load temps are 28C-30C. My problem now is that the card is throttling at temps below 25C. I tried the Riva Tuner work around but it didn't work. I downloaded the OmniEtremeEditFX version 1.5 so I can edit my cards BIOS but I am unsure of what needs to be changed in order to work around the throttling. I saved my current BIOS using NVFlash and opened it using the Omni tool. There are options for throttling voltage and throttling core and memory speeds. Right now on the stock BIOS the throttling core and memory speeds are blank and the throttling voltage is at 1.3 volts. Am I supposed to alter these values to get around the throttling? Can someone point me in the right direction please. Also when I open up my stock BIOS using the Omni tool it shows my memory timings as blank? Is that normal?

I posted this in another section of the forums then I found this section so can anyone help me with the throttling? Do I need to just change the throttling voltage to the same as the 3D voltage to make it stop throttling? Thanks...

Hi,

I came across this forum will hunting on any type of vMod for my Gainward 6800NU. Come to find out that you can vMod is BIOS which is sweet.

I have read across the forums, and there seems to be a gray area on using the BIOS Edit on the 6800NU.

I actually downloaded the older OmniExtremeEdit 1.2, and read the "ReadMe", and it was looking for responses from 6800NU users.

I would like to know if there was any responses or issues w/ using the latest 1.5 on my NU?

I would be interested in helping the testing of this tool, if anyone is interested.

My current OC w/ stock cooling is 390/890 w/ a score of 11k on 3dMark2k3.

Once I open my BIOS in OEE 1.5, what values should I change? I noticed that there were 3 voltage area. Which should I change and to what value?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My pny6800 Ultra came with the 15.7 bios but it has never run stable at all even when i down clock it to 400 core in 3d. I have edited that bios to give it 1.4v thtl and 1.5v 3D and still crashes. Would a 10.15 work better do you think or should i call pny for a rma?

wouldnt hurt the try the 10.15... if it doesnt fix then rma... the 10.15 fixed my freezing issues on my GT
