Tutorial: How to softmod to ANY VGPU you want without hardmods! (1.3~1.6v or more)

Wait... I'm confused..

This is a softmod to raise voltage higher then what can be done with the bios mod's?

Say WUT?!? If this works on 4850's I gotta try this out.

Maybe i missed something where do i type those commands in ? rivatuner?

I'd also like to know were I put these commands in. And if you find a site like that in English let me know.

Thx I missed that somehow in the OP. I'm still trying to get this to work though. Has anyone had an success with a 4850?

Returns invalid for all four locations on reference HD4850.

You type them into a dos prompt. The commands are against rivatuner.exe.

When I had my hardmod installed I was able to run 3dmark06 and vantage at 880 but the temps were pretty high at that clock, much higher than I'm seeing right now. It doesn't seem to be changing anything other than the voltage that I see in rivatuner and gpu-z. I'd test it with a VMM, but I've got the back plate on my card and I cbb to disassemble it right now.

Perhaps it just doesn't work on this card.

Correction: this mod does appear to make a difference in vantage. I thought Vantage originally ran at that higher clock, but confirmed that the mod does allow it to pass all of tests when running without it doesn't. It seems like the mod is only unfriendly to 3dmark06 (out of the two). And possibly maybe only the second test (firefly forest). I'm able to fold at higher clocks and run vantage so far. I'll run 3dmark05 for S's and G's to see what happens. With the mod on or off, I cannot get more than 2 seconds into firefly forest at even 847mhz on the core.

I'm able to run 3dmark05 30mhz higher with the mod (862 vs 832). I wonder what the story is. I see higher power consumption when switching the mod on (as seen on my kill a watt).

Matt - mod for slightly higher voltage, you can set it to whatever you want.

Invalid

Has anyone tried these on G92 based cards?

doesn't work on IceQ4 4850 either,and since i don't get any voltage readings for the card it might not work on 4850s.

You can also insert the commands in a desktop icon target-field, after the last quotation mark (").

For example;

Code:

---

"D:\Program Files\Utilities\RivaTuner\RivaTuner.exe" /ri0,70,1A, /ri1,70,1A, /ri2,70,1A, /ri3,70,1A

---

This will scan buses 0-3 when you launch the desktop icon.

Doesn't work on reference G92GTS.
PX3544 supports I²C but I reckon the addresses are not correct.

Does anybody have some info or guess if this could work on 9800GX2...?

bypasses ovp/ocp ? i want to see results ! :)

ISL6327 (GTX285) support ?

I can't get past the first step :shakes:

Dos-prompt, you know, cmd.exe ??

It's not working for Asus 4850's 512mb.
I get invalid for all of them. Oh well :( pencil mod works too :P


It looks like this just doesn't work on 4850's. But it works for 4870's :/ ???

Nope. :(
Datasheet has been posted though (somewhere in the EVGA Voltage Tuner thread on news forums) - so in case you are able to read it (I unfortunately am not able to do so) correctly, you might find out what registers/adresses are the appropriate ones to be programmed.

Maybe this thread needs a title change. It worked on mine but only two of the commands returned invalid, not really sure what this means.

not all 4870s i think,there was a post from one other guy who couldn't use it on his 4870.only cards with the specified IC or one which show voltage readings by enabling VT1103 plugin:confused: can be used.
i tried enabling all plugins but none would work for voltage read out so stuck with pencil mod.:shakes:

This has no effect on OCP. It is still a problem. That is, if it manifests in the first place.
But yep, software VID mod cannot trigger an OVP.

ISL6327, simply, features no I²C bus interface. Meaning this softmod will never work with cards with that chip.
