Well the 10.15s alone didnt fix the problem but i edited it and raised the thtl to 1.4 and 3d to 1.5 and in the bios i raised AGP voltage to 1.6 and i can now get 440/1.15 stable in far cry and doom 3!!! So the 15.07 bios it had didnt work for my card but yet it is supposedly newer? :confused:

ok guys I was having problems flashing my BFG 6800GT to an ultra I tried the BFG ULTRA BIOS and didnt work.I also tried XFX ultra bios and it didn't worked either NOW...I tried the new bios at MVKTECH
the ones from BFG REV2 and flashed those into my card and boooya!! it worked no problems :) the card is stable no problems whatsoever!!!!! (I HAVE THE BFG6800GT WITH THE DUAL FANS) so if you were having the same issues try those bios :):banana:
All Download links updated to all version of OmniExtreme Tool :-)
And switch is done to new server!

what are your max stable and artifactfree results now ? :)
@ Mavke: u should place a "direct-download"-button next to every BIOS-file instead of linking to a new page with the download-button ;)
would make it easier to download a few, for testings ;)
I will see what I can do, but for now I have to much work adding all BIOS's again... so I have noted it down :-)Quote:

Ok.. I just flashed my 6800NU, and kicked up 3d volts from 1.4 to 1.5.
I did not see any increase on my OC.
Am I suppose to also change 2d volt and Thrt volt?
Also, where are the points on the video card to do a reading on it with a multimeter?
Any input would greatly be appreciated.

dunno if a 6800nU has the same PCB, but that's the reading-point for GT/Ultras

Thanks for the pic. the pic is a little vague for me. Can you give me ball park of where the point is locatd. Is it toward the front of the card w/ there DVI port is, or toward the back where the power is located?Quote:

Also, for the voltage, do you change just the 3d? Or do you have to change all of theM?

Could someone plaese help me? In the OmniEtremeEditFX version 1.5 I can change the voltage for all 3 values 3D,Throttle and 2D. In the Core/Memory speed section I can only change the 3D and tthe 2D speeds. Throttle is an option but it just has dashes there and I can't change it. Also the memory timings are the same way all dashed out and I can't change them? Is that how it is supposed to be? If I am to get around the throttling issue what do I need to change? Do I just change the Throttling voltage to the same as 3D and it's done? ThanksQuote:

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...
I don't know if you guys know this but throttling also effects 2D? If I go to PC Pitstop and run there test which tests 2D while my card is throttling I only score 100 points where if I run it while not throttling I score over 600?
I doesnt show throttling speed because your card throttles to the 2d value.Quote:

To get rid of throttling try set all voltages the same as 3d and the 2d clockspeed also to the 3d value.
Memory timing editing for 6800 is not implented yet but likely to come.
what that hell is the throttle for?? the higher the better right??:smileysex or does it up the voltage?? or does it slow down the chipset/?
It is throttling because my GPU is running under 25C. Whenever it hits 25C or under it throttles down because it doesn't understand why it is running so cold.Quote:

xtremetheme will I damage my card if I use the 1.5 editor and it says my 2d speeds are 11625mhz ?
I will flash my card tonight and let you know how it went. I already saved my stock BIOS with the -b command. To flash it I just need to type nvflash -fNEWBIOSNAME.ROM [ENTER] correct?
the voltage changes wont work for me in 1.5 or a 1.4 i only have 3d speed displayed but 2d and 3d volts. ive tried every combo but i get major arts halfway through 3dmark and and artifacted bsod.
xtremetheme im gonna measure the volts with my dmm on saturday in the differnt modes but had anyone found this too?
yo section8 make sure your bios is 62kb. i flashed to a 61kb bios and took me a few days to get my card working, thanks to mavke :D
Thanks I just looked and the modded BIOS is the same as the stock BIOS 62KB. I have a problem though. It will not flash no matter what I try. I am using NVFLASH version 5.06 I have saved a copy of my stock BIOS using the nvflash -bBACKUPBIOS.ROM command then I edited it using the OmniExtremeEditFX version 1.5. I then saved it to the floppy with NVFLASH and tried several commands but nothing happens. I triedQuote:

NVFLASH -fNEWBIOS.ROM
NVFLAS -p-u-fNEWBIOS.ROM
NVFLAH.exe -p-u-fNEWBIOS.ROM
NVFLASH.exe -fNEWBIOS.ROM -p-u-2
NVFLASH.exe -fNEWBIOS.ROM
I also tried spaces in between the letters and still it just does nothing just shows me all the nvflash commands after I hit enter. I just tried using NVFLASH version 5.08 and still the same results. I can save my current BIOS mod it and when I try to flash nothing happens just keeps showing me all the NVFLAS commands?
Just change your 2d speeds to something more realistic....Quote:

If its reading them wrong then maybe if it writes it back it will write it back wrong ?
Maybe when you copied the original bios from the card it was corrupt, try making a new a backup to edit.Quote:

Anyone? One thing I forgot is it says something about invalid keyboard type when nvflash loads and starts up. Could that be causing it not to work? I am using the Logitech MX700 Keyboard and mouse.Quote:

OK I got it to flash finnaly but:
I have NVFLASH version 5.08 and you OmniExtremeEditFX version 1.5. I made a backup of my BIOS by typing nvflash -b backupbios.rom and it saved it to my floppy disk. I then opened it using your BIOS editor and changed all 3 voltages 3D, Throttle and 2D to 1.5 volts. I also changed the 3D and 2D core and memory speeds to 470/1200. Then I saved it on the Floppy with NVFLASH and named it newbios.rom. I then went in to DOS mode and using nvflash typed nvflash -f newbios.rom and nothing happened but all the nvflash commands came up so I tried nvflash -p -u -f newbios.rom and still nothing happened. I tried several different commands and nothing happened but the nvflash commands popped up after each attempt. I finally tried nvflash newbios.rom and I think it worked. It said something about I should get a newer version of nvflash because it didn't recognize the file or something and asked if I still wanted to continue to flash to the new eeprom. I typed Y for continue and the screen went blank for a few seconds and then it said it was successful. I then CTRL+ALT+DEL and restarted my computer. Now when I go to clock speeds in the NVIDIA control panel it says 470/1200 even when I click set to default or if I click the NO OVERCLOCKING tab. So it appears that it worked but when I run the PC PITSTOP test which tests 2D performance along with many other things I get a very low score in the 2D test. Like it is still throttling. Before throttling I would get 600 points now with the throttling I get 100 Points? Did I do something wrong with the flash or did this not cure the throttling issue?
Unlikley if you dont change the 11625Mhz.Quote:

Yeah thats like how it is, with 1.5 the textboxes show you the values from the hexview where they think the memory speed is.Quote:

If they are pointing at the wrong position you see wrong values.
If you dont change the wrong values there should happen nothing, your BIOS is saved exactly as seen in the Hexview.
But could i see your BIOS plz which shows not correct? :)
Hi, i only heard bad things about nvflash 5x with 6800s, nvflash4.41 or 4.42 is said to be working much better.Quote:

To check if you have throttling, try rivatuner. It monitors your clockspeed, you can see if the speed drops during a game or in windows etc.
The only nvflash version i could get to work with my 6800 Ultra was 4.42. My card is much more stable now but still wont oc past 440 without very random doom 3 reboots.
