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![]()
