Sorry, I can't share it. I think NVIDIA doesn't want to giveit to public just yet. It's only less than one week from launch.

Anybody has news on FM aproving 77.72?

If they allow the "public" to have the BIOS, then people will "turn off" their thermal controls and their partners may get tons of RMA'd overheated boards... logical, but it sucks!!

I think the few people who have it should be able to give it out to those who ask, that way only people who know what they're doing would get it. The hard part would be stopping someone from posting it on a site :(

I think you have just successfully argued against yourself there .. ;)

Hope you guys break some records! I can't imagine what scores it'll get with the cold bug finally gone for a bit.

If you meet with one of the NV guys in person they are very willing to give you unofficial "hacked" bioses with whatever functions you want disabled under the condition you don't distribute them.

Nvidia is going backwards with this cold bug now at 35c, 6800 was at 25c. Since my 6800u is below 35c alot of the time, this would be a real problem with watercooling. It is unacceptable to have a video card cold thottle at 35c above freezing.

I know, they'll probably start to throttle for some people in cold climates during the winter, even with the stock cooler. :)

Wow, I just kinda skimmed this thread, but I just noticed that 35C throttles the stock cards. I can strap a SLK948 onto one of these with a tornado and get lower temps than that. That's a bad temp. 25C is kinda reasonable, but 35C makes it seem like they want ATI to win in the enthusiest market. (Which is unfortunate because I like NV much more than ATI)

Well they can just say flashing the BIOS will void the warrenty... Besides, anyone who knows how to and is willing to flash a video card BIOS probably has the slightest clue what they are doing...

I have serius problem running 3d03 nature..when CPU is 300x11

^^ nice results opb really impressive using which of your fx 55 line up? why you dont try your old fx ??? maybe you can bench at higher speed?

OPB are you using Phase Change?

no, the problem is why I can run 3d05 @ 3300(300x11) but not for 3d03..?weird

Are they loud ? or similar to 6800 in term of noise (heat too)
BTW congrats @ 3dmark scores ! Can't wait to see cards ... on phase change ?? :D

Good job OPB :toast:

Unfortunately 3DMark05 with GeFroce 7800 GTX SLI is more system depending than graphics cards :(

Much quieter than 6800U

OPB, that BFG 7800 GTX looks awesome man. nice scores

@OPB ... 533 core clock on Aquamark and 519 on 3Dmark '05? Good OC if thats air cooled. I think OPP used some Swiftech water blocks ...and an awesome CPU clock ...to crack 16K on '05. Just wondering what you're cooling plans are for your cards? :confused:

For those of you with air or water: How are you guys hitting such high core speeds with your GTXs? Volt mods?

Mine is watercooled with a DD Maze4 but I can't bench without artifacts at anything over 495/1330. Temps never get above 48 degrees.

I'd welcome some tips.

OPB JOINS THE FRAY :p: :D !!!

And to think we all thought he'd go on a vacation :( :cry:

Nice to have you back OPB, when we be seeing YOUR tri cascade action ?? :p:

Perkam

Congrats opb.. mayb you break the 2k1 wr if you go on!

Compare URL with GeForce 7800 GTX (Stock cooling)

Here is the max i could get without artefacts with innovatek 6800 modified waterblocks
I need more cpu's mhz!
