RivaTuner plugin supporting GT2xx and HD4870 Voltage Tuning

[Kain665]

Too lazy to read through this thread, my BFG GTX 275 says no suck luck with your regulator, It's a reference board. Are 275s not supported?

Figured out how to get it set up with my 4870 now overvolting a bit... I'll let you know how much gain I get once I test it out a little bit...
Thanks for the guide!

well i tried again on my GTX 260 core 216's. i still have to set the voltage on both cards (i dont get the option to set both cards) i set the voltage to 1.1125v and the cards too 750/1500/1060. run atitool for half an hour no problem but if i try 3dmark06 it locks up. i think the ovp and ocp are beening activated.

Seems like a great program, couldn't get my 4870 to do anything with the air cooler though, going to attempt to get more clocks out of a WCed GTX 280 now.

I am using RT 2.24 and the updated plug-in to clock my 4870X2. (Catalyst 9.8 Vista 64)

I can get it to work in RT and change the VRM V of both GPUs. I manually OC the clocks via RT then apply the VRM V change. The problem is that even the slightest bump in VRM V will cause lock-ups in 3D apps. The odd thing is, that it hangs even at clock settings which I can run properly without increasing VRM V.

Card is under EK waterblock and temps are very low.

840 core runs fine with no VRM V increase, if I increase the VRM V one notch (from 1.2625 to 1.2750) it locks up at 840 core!! Any ideas? Tried going higher up to 1.4 with no luck.

Awesome Plugin works on my Visiontek 4870 but i have a problem, i dont know how to setup the Parameters to load when windows load etc, i know you said to do it in scheduler but i cant figure it out, can someone help me

Parameters: /sd4294967295 /wi1,70,18,44

thats what mine is when in 3d mode and 1.300v

anyone know how? i tried searching but seems nobody explains how to do it, please lol i have to keep setting it everytime =[

anyone please know how, or is there another voltage plugin that automatically keeps my setting saved on startup cause i have to keep going into 3d mode up volts etc =[

May be you add support for Hd4770 or it's impossible?

HI guys i am unable to increase the voltages for my 4870 x2 using rivatuner. I am using a reference gpu. The more button at the bottom left is blanked out.

I'll post the pictures




I open riva tuner it's the latest 2.2.4



Mine does not have the VRM instead it's called something else here:




I right click on it and enter setup:




This is what i'm talking about u see, the more at the bottom left is blanked out

I had the same problem... Figured out you don't right click and click on that setup button, you click on the setup button in your screenshot above that is in the right bottom corner of the chart screen...

Hmm nope that does not work. That set up button at the bottom right is just for u to select how many graphs u want to put into the monitor tool. If u right click on it a what's this balloon pops up.



So what this means that u are in the same predicament as me correct?

[Aidonia]

oka another thing is i'm using latest drivers 9.9 and riva 2.24 does not support it.

[Linuxfan]

I found the solution somewhere... Can't remember exactly what I did to fix it though...
The fix is there somewhere!

Thanks for this. I installed the latest Rivatuner and copied the plugin .dll over last night. One thing that's worth mentioning is that I had to create a dword key and set it to 1 in Vista x64 since the executable registry file points to the regular location instead of the WOW32 node location. It seems strange that other x64 users claim that theirs works though....

@Aldonia:
I had the same problem before I manually created my registry key....let me know if you need the exact info, as I'm going to remote my home PC to test the voltage later. I'll post screens if you want.

Fantastic plugin and excellent guide as to how to use and set up.. It works great with my XFX HD4870x2 and I'm using the latest the ATi drivers.. Had a few problems installing with Vista 64 due to the non digitally signed drivers but all sorted and happily benching in Vantage at 850 on the gpu core and 980 on the mem.. Not much of a clock yet I know but will work it up !! Thanks again

Thread revival mode engaged....

Anyone happen to get this working with Asus Matrix GTX 285's?

I did not get the "unsupported hardware" message, but the only voltage graph that comes up is "Sensor supply voltage" with a value of 3.30

[subaruwrc]

can u please help me?
the plugin works perfectly but after a little time the core voltage drops back to default under load :S . so if i set it t 1.275v and start vantage gt2- it runs about 30 seconds at 1.275v, and then drops back to default 1.2625v ...
dont know which is connected to. i thought gpu vrm temp, but under games it runs perfectly above 85c-and then during benchmarking it fails at about 75c. any ideas how can i keep the voltage at the raised level?
thanks

Just an added note, unless I missed something here's what I had to do:
After following instructions installing the plugin, the C++ package, etc... I had to go into SETUP when the Hardware Monitor was open, go to PLUG-INS, and enable the DLL file.

I've used this guide before a few months back and didn't have to do this then... but I did a new windows 7 x64 pro install on my SSDs a couple of weeks ago, so I had to re-install RivaTuner.
After enabling the DLL, all is good now... before it wasn't showing my VRM temps and voltages.

Question:
Is there a way to only alter the 3D voltages and not 2D? I hate running 3D overclocked voltages 24/7...

I think it is not possible. You can create to shortcuts with different parameters, but there's no elegant way.
