    Everyone is just referring to subjective results aka "max stable frequency". Has any of you simply measured the result with a multimeter? It takes a few seconds and is highly objective...

    Some people did the measurement and confirmed it increases the voltage. They also confirmed that it is not possible to go higher with a bios flash.

    Max stable frequency might be subjective, but before the flash, my card would simply crash immediately (BSOD/reboot) at the frequency I'm using now. The only thing I did is to edit my card bios to use VID 04 (1.1V) instead of VID 03 (1.05V). I didn't use another bios just edit mine.

    So I think we can conclude that the bios mod really increases the Vcore

    Thanks for the link. I tried to find a good tutorial last time but only found obscure explanation or some of them requiring a floppy

    I've seen someone catch their MoBo on fire sticking probes in there. I'll only measure live voltage if I solder leads on, but I don't want to hard mod the board...yet.

    OCing results are the ultimate desire anyway, so they speak for themselves.

    I did measure the vGPU, and it is 1.1337V with the biosmoda against 1.057V with the stock bios.
