Today, BIOSTAR launches its new tool called V-Ranger for optimizing the best voltage, frequency and temperature values of each individual card. V-Ranger stands for Voltage Ranger, which is the first VGA based dynamic voltage regulation in the world. V-Ranger makes the concept of “power-on-demand” a reality. A powerful tool that can dynamically control the voltage of GPU and memory to achieve either the best overclocking results of the GPU or the lowest power consumption and temperature value of the card

Nice and easy to read and use GUI!










LOOOL!

They should fix their mainboard overclocking tool first :/
That one worked for me once, after that it freezes my pc after just loading it ;/

Hopefully the GPU tool is better. The concept seems to be good.
The GUI could be worse :P

haha it looks rediculous

GUI looks like ass.

how much crack did they smoke when they made that?

Now we know where they gave that record size joint :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :peace: :peace: :peace: :peace: :peace:

Holy Christ, that GUI looks like the Ridley boss from Metroid: Fusion.

why do you people keep complaining about how it looks.


i dont care how it looks, if it lets me easily overvolt my card from windows, and tweak it on the fly. that is really sweet.


guess people arent smart enough to read the article though, and just like to look at pictures.:rolleyes:

cool features, make sure you dont click the wrong one.

I never said I wouldn't use it based solely on its looks, but come on, it does look remarkably similar to Ridley from Metroid. :cool:

Also, the GUI is a component of whether people will use it. If it looks like ass, initially the less tech savvy people might be inclined to avoid it, because it looks like something from a Kids WB cartoon.

too me that sounds like a good thing.:D

Where do you download this thing? I want to see if I can juice up my eVGA 7600GT's core. With the stock voltage I'm stuck at 610Mhz on the core.

i doubt it would, as your card would need the hardware to be physically capable of the voltage changes. as well as have bios support.

i dont think this card will be reference pcb at all.

where I can download V-Range Tool?

:mad: read the post directly above yours.

besides that what would make you think this would work on your card.

nice design :)

Actually, it does. ;)

The review from PCStats says that: :fact:

In case you're wondering, Biostar's Sigma-Gate utility is compatible with other brands and models of nVIDIA videocards. The automatic overclocking feature even works quite well actually; it was able to push a GeForce 7800GTX and 7900GT videocard quite high but...

So, I'm also interested in downloading this software and using it with my Asus 7600GT ... if it will work with it.

Actually the software wouldn't work on other cards, at least the voltage options wouldn't work for sure.
Anyways, I'm starting to love this card.
I'm at 700MHz core now and the software allows up to 1.38VGPU. Although the temp will go about 85C on the crappy stock cooler, I could still run 650MHz all day long...
Oh btw, VMEM goes up to 2.18V. Haven't overclocked the MEM yet but auto (on stk VMEM) gets me 837MHz...

Do use a favor and upload the V-Ranger utility for the rest of us to try out.

Nice one.

But i think that some clowns with bicycles and balloons flying all over the control panels would be better :D

so it overclock better than any aother vga??
haven't see any biostar v-series vga on the market

just like a v-guru from abit
hope it better than atitool and rivatuner :D

Managed to obtain over 17K in 3DMark03 with the Biostar EGate V7603GS21 at 700MHz core and 954MHz mem:

Not bad, huh?
All was done on stock cooler with 120mm case fan blowing towards it. GPU and VMEM was set to max at 1.381V and 2.131V. Biostar is surely kicking some serious 7600GT but with their V7603GS21. :banana: :banana:
