8800GT bios for better overclocking! *test*

[counsol]

Ok, I have just flashed my sparkle card with the Gigabyte GTS bios from MVK tech and its gone fine. I did change the clocks to stock GT clocks first with Nbitor.

I had to change the Device ID in the drivers to get them to install.

And it looks like it made no difference, the extra processing pipes seem to still be locked.

I did leave the GTS volts as they were, so I will try overclocking now

Ya, but did you try benching with the GTS bios.

EDIT: oh. Nevermind :/

I managed to get 760mhz core 1840mhz shader and 960mhz ram (my ram is crap on this card)

[Jip]

and the stream processor can be actived ??

Your ram is crap huh. MY ram has a max of 905. My core has a max of 675.

There is crap, and then there is mine.

Giorgos, thx for the bios. I tried your bios, and it works like charm
With original bios, i managed to oc my card to 710/1800/2000.
Tried 1.1v i get 755 on Core. After that i tried your bios and now i have 755/1900(1890 Real modus) on core ( havent tried to up this yet, since im pretty happy for now) and shader. However the Gaymonda would not allow me to go over 2000..., even with the pencil mod applied.

Guys which bios are you referring to? link please. i wanna give this a try. I'm using a PNY 512 mb 8000gt

So I tried a GT - > GTS flash, and I can't test anything as all my driver installations are failing.

Which drivers are meant to be used for a G92 GTS because I've been looking around and can't seem to find any..

[trans am]

okay nvm. I used giorgios's bios and went from 700/1780/960 to 735/1895/970 mem.

this is a rma 8800gt man I wish I had my old one that did 770/1850/1130! stock bios.
i wonder how it would do after this bios? Thanks for the bios man

[NJDevilsFan21]

Well, I got some drivers to install for the "G92 8800GTs", and it didn't work. Rivatuner still showed 112SP, and ATi Tool practically crashed from artifacts at 720/1800 speeds which were previously stable on the default GT bios.

Well, was worth a shot.

Voltage was 1.13V under load measured by my DMM for those interested.

[counsol]

so did u get more voltage with the gts bios or same as gt?

[Jip]

my BFG GTS v2 have kick my XFX GT ^^

Someone know if is possible to modif the voltage with Biosmod like GT ...

[865pe]

my Asus 8800GT flashed to Gigabayte 8800GTS. flashed ist ok. gpu voltage ist ok. bad driver installations are failing.?
169.21 help me please..

right click and extract the drivers to a folder, then you gotta edit teh nv4_something.ini file, and change the device id for the GT or GTS to 610 instead of 600 or 611.. something like that.. just look for the lines that have G92 and you will see it... save the ini and then run setup =p

I tried it as well, with a volt moded BFG.. no go.. suxors.. got artifacting after loading the drivers.. im sure someone will have to hex edit the GT and GTS bios together if its possible

the orginal nv_4 disp
change code, dont work

[counsol]

wow you've been lurking since 10-26-07 hmm

[Aldy402]

so the GTS has higher voltage selectable in nibtor, interesting..
anyway we can manipulate it to use on a GT bios? that extra .5 would help a lot.

I wish I had a DMM to measure it with the GTS bios

[Hypertek]

no , change one of them to 610.. try it.. i dont htink it matters if you do the gts or gt.. and there is another place where you change to 610 as well.. try that..

Well the GTS should be pumping more voltage in but I think it has an extra power regulator as well onboard. It would be great if I could flash a my GT to a GTS bios just for extra voltage I could care less about the extra SP units just gimmy more voltage without a hardmod

Indeed, 0.05 would help, especially If one has watercooling, the temps stay pretty low.

.05. Thought the GTS's had 1.2-1.25V stock on there cores. Now thats what I'd want .05 can already be done but the bigger voltage increase is what I'd be intrested in. As long as its under 1.3V since I guess the GT power circuity can't handle it.

As for cooling even a nice air setup like the HR-03GT keeps my GPU temps under 40C which is more than fine with me when highly OC'ed. Gimmy more volts

Still have to get my dang thumb drive to load dos properly for me to flash the bios still on my video card then I'll be rockin.

Dumb question guys:

I'm vista 32 bit only now and my bfg oc 8800gt is coming in 1-2 days. I'm currently on an overclocked 725/1075 msi 8600gts that was atitool stable. However, after upgrading to the newer nvidia bios (169.25) I find that atitool 0.27 beta 4 still doesn't work. What are you guys using to test for max core/mem if not atitool then?

[new-b]

I use atitool 0.26.....no problems.

[jason4207]

Did you press F8 during VISTA boot and select "Disable Driver Signing"?

[Sorrow13]

Just another data point, i've got an EVGA SC and flashed using 1.2 in bios.
Load volts are 1.165, seems to have given me a bit more headroom.
Never found the max before though.

[blackiice2007]

Has Anyone tryed to modify the voltage in the bios on the new 8800GTS G92? I wonder how high 8800GTS voltage can really go

Does it worth to pay extra 60 Euros for a GTS G92 ?Or i should get a GT? I know the performance gain wont be to much, but the cooling its much better , and maybe more overcloking ...

As far as i know , 8800GT are limited to 1.1V , 8800GTS G92 can work at 1.2V or maybe more ?

[Sorrow13]

id guess about the same, the regulation circuitry looks similar if not identical to the gt. if ive read correctly the gts starts at a slightly higher voltage, but nothing that cant be gained on the gt.

Looks like the only way to get good volts is the hardmod, something my shaking hands havn't managed yet.
