As far as I understand, the SOC ES samples support software overvolting, but the retails don't. Please, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.
I will let you guys know in a bit.
I'm setting up the rig & windows right now :)
Yeah...that would be great for someone who wants to run slightly higher voltage 24/7...but I need A LOT of voltage for extreme cooling. :cool:Quote:

Thanks good to know man, thanks.Quote:

Can't wait for your posts.
Warranty most likely.Quote:

Nice pic RAID. Does putting it in OCmode change the max Volts??
no, i don't think so. let me double check...
edit: nope
Hey! I didn't get that app :DQuote:

Don't think it's hardlocked Pieter, the Vddci, Memory Voltage & PCI-Express voltage work just fine.Quote:

Did you check with a dmm if the card is actually at 1.30v?Quote:

Good to hear the messages I got turn out to be incorrect :up:Quote:

I think its all come down to the yields, which after the first few cards shipped out to get us in a lather just didn't pan out. Ratz....wanted to give ATI one more bash before flippin over to Fermi.
Good Luck tonight Bill.....:up:
Looks like the whole GPU Core voltage thing is a mistake ( hardware engineers making changes after the software development team "finished" the application :p: ).
For the hardcore modders, there's always the Vmod, but the software will more than likely ( I'm just 98% sure, that's why I'm not using the word surely :p: ) fixed too soon ;)
That's great news Bill...ok, not getting too excited...but I've been fanging for these cards for a long time......
One way to control the GPU core voltage with a hardware mod is a VID mod.
Similar to the GTX 260 Super Overclock mod posted in the Xtreme VGA Mods on this very forum.
I'm about to check if I can find out how to control the voltage via software in a bit.
Updates?Quote:

I'm awaiting for some good news from Gigabyte, and I'm also going to try a few things in a bit.
working on it fellas
it's probably good that this version of SOC sw i have hasnt made it out yet. There are a couple of things to sort out :up:
this new retail card seems nice :)
