    Util to edit the 6800 bios's?

    Anyone made or know of a Util to edit the 6800 bios's. I'd imagine it would be a pretty simple VB program now that the locations of the main values are known.

    Anyone?

    Ah thought you might

    You managed to find things like fan speed, mem timings etc?

    I have no idea about fan speed, my card doesnt even have a fan anymore lol.

    I added editing memory timings but only for 5700/5900 class, i dont have a 6800 so i cant test if the values i look at are right.


    Well here it is, a easy to use BIOS editor for new gen nvidia cards!
    http://home.graffiti.net/omniextreme/oee10.zip


    Supports editing Speed and Voltage settings on 6800/U, 5900/U/XT, 5950U, 5700/U. Timings on 5900/U/XT, 5950U, 5700/U.

    Better use an fresh unmodded BIOS, a previous modded BIOS may not have correct voltage display.

    Maybe not all BIOS are read correctly so dont cry plz. But thats also written in the program. Tell me what doesnt work and your BIOS and i can look if i can fix it.

    Esp. would be nice if some 5700 owner could give feedback, it looks like some 5700Us can even have up to 1.5V

    I hope that will make ppl happy who dont like hexeditors and save some time

    Is it possible to edit 2D speeds in bios?

    5700 and 5900 yes, 6800 i dont know are there cards which use a 2d speed?
    All i read from ppl is that the 6800 have the same speed in 2d and 3d.

    uhm,...I mean the "throtteling speed". Where is the throtteling speed set? In the bios I assume.
    Would it be possible to stop the downthrotteling by setting this speed to the same as 3D speed?

    I tested your editor. I think it doesnt show the voltages of modded bioses accurately. It only shows 1.4V max. in bioses which set 3D voltage to multimeter-approved 1.5V.

    Throttling speed is labled 2D/3D in my editor. And 6800s use their stock speed as throttling from what i heard.

    Ah. OK, but on my GT I am not able to change the 2D/3D clockrate setting. Only the 3D.

    With the stock speed i mean the 3D setting. The value you enter there should be the one your card throttles back to.

    Thumbs up

    Great stuff xtremetheme, this will be a very popular tool.

    Thanks for sharing it .

    EDIT:
    There appears to be a bug in the program for 6800s, the 3D speed shown is actually the 2D speed.

    'Detonator' has reported it on OcUK and I've noticed it too.
    Posted by Detonator
    There is a bug in this tool,actualy if I do a 450/1250 bios, editing a 425/1200 bios and flashing the card ,after the bot the coolbit show 450/1200 2D so far is ok , but on D3 still 425/1200 seem like dont take any effect on D3.....Some one should tell xtremetheme about this bug.. I dont have any account on Exstrem forum and I cant contact him....
    My BIOS shows up as 400/550 in the editor, but that's my 2D speed, my core is actually at 425 3D default.

    Ah thx for reporting. Can you send me your BIOS and tell me what card the other guy has?

    Okay I have done that :-)
    OmniExtremeEdit FX v1.0 - At mvktech.net

    Let me know when new version come out :-)
    And then I will add them as well. If you want to host em direct on my site let me know as it can be arranged as well.

    Here's my Club3D Ultra BIOS:
    http://www.handspun.utvinternet.com/daniel/CLUB3D.ROM
    (425/1.1 3D - 400/1.1 2D)

    I don't know what card 'detonator' has

    EDIT:\
    Noxis' modded (+0.1v) BIOS shows as 1.4v with the tool, but Noxis says he tested it with a multimeter and it is definitely 1.5v.?

    Yep definitly 1.5v (well 1.52v as it floats up) my card does 470mhz core with it, so unless its some kind of super GPU i got in there...

    Noxis, could you please make a 425/1.2 1.5v BIOS?

    3DMk03 froze in Nature at 450 core (@ 80c+), so I don't want to try the 450/1.2 1.5v BIOS until I've checked temps at 425 with 1.5v.

    xtremetheme I am sure is going to shake the bugs pretty quickly, best to wait for that

    Xtremetheme, the stock 6800GT bios's show up with 1.4v under the 3d settings, not 1.3 like stock.


    I uploaded the stock BFG6800GT rom in case you didn't have it.

    Thx, but like i said previously modded BIOSes may not show correct voltage. Use a fresh BIOS.

    That is correct because the BIOS says the card will have 1.4v in 3D.
    1.3V is for the throttling.
    Have you measured the values using a multimeter?

    Ok, but what about setting the 3D speeds?
