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 goodQuote:

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.

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.

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

nodbody any idea ? i heared something about a olvervoltage-protection...:confused:Quote:

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

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?
BlackHawk
wouldnt hurt the try the 10.15... if it doesnt fix then rma... the 10.15 fixed my freezing issues on my GTQuote:

and y did u take a lot of NV-BIOSes away ?!
no leadtek-bios anymore !
there were thousands of bioses and now ?! :(
do u have a ftp, where u still have all bioses complete ? :(
