Asked my other friends with a GTX285 vanilla, Palit and Inno3d both cards also came with a 1.13-1.14 stock voltage, so 1.15-1.16 may not be the reference voltage. I also pointed them to this thread and they got the same results i did. 1.20vGPU / 2.11 vMEM.
EDIT:
Our cards also idle at 1.03vGPU and 2.08vMEM

I just did step 1 of the volt mod for a XFX GTX 285 but do not have a voltage reader, is there a plugin for Rivatuner which can read the volts for the core and the mem.?
No voltage readouts from the voltage controller like on the 280/260's. You have to use a DMM.

They are like 20$ at radio shack. Great investment if you are getting into volt modding...Originally Posted by CryptiK
It is always important to check the readings on all of these mods.

Have done the pensil mod on 1-2-3-4-11-12 and are getting 1.21v load. So i have to redo it. But whitch bridges eccactly are for vgpu , so i dont have to redo them all ?
Finally , i did the mod on my vanilla eVGA GTX 285 on stock cooling , bridge 1,2,3,4,11,12 = 1.26v.
Results running 3DMark03(Dont mind the score i was using one of my spare rigs to test the card with a P4)
100% Stable playing FarCry2 for 3 hours at this clocks 783/1728/1404Mhz too.

Now i got to redo the mod on my xfx GTX 285xxx as I am getting only 1.20v , i guess the soldering on that card was not perfect , im quite sure thats why my xfx xxx Stops at 756/ 1640/1533Mhz on water Full EK Block. The memory clocks on the eVGA are not great but my xfx xxx goes like hell at 1533
Thank you so much Napalm and Cryptik. My hats off to you guys for a well done volt mod finding and guide.

I'm betting those shader clocks aren't stable in Crysis though.Finally , i did the mod on my vanilla eVGA GTX 285 on stock cooling , bridge 1,2,3,4,11,12 = 1.26v

I dont play Crysis so i will never find out, but this eVGA Vanila its going on water next week and i expect better clocks as this cards benefit a lot from good cooling , I already have one xfx GTX 285xxx on H2O EK Full block and the difference its night and day , so i just ordered another full cover EK Block and will post back results with SLI volt moded cards on H2O
Why is that?

nice
your welcome
yeh and im betting crysis clocks arent stable in c&c generals.. yes that c&c generals from 2003/onward
both generals especially zero hour brakes any graphics card knees and makes it crawl and beg for mommy.. at least the way i play customized generals
max stable clocks @ c&c generals: 756/1692/1404 on the evga ftw/stock cooler/no mods
why whats in generals and the latest C&C ?
whats in generals?
even @ 2 player map i cant get it to run stable higher than 756 core
dont have the latest red alert yet
If anyone is interested, I have a vgpu mod that doesn't trig OVP.
It is VR based and requires removal of one small SMD resistor, but it is simple.
It triggers OCP at 900/2000, 1.4vgpu, but there's a mod for that aswell

Is that the normal zoom out height ??
I tried my card under Red alert 3, i never got past 68c.. maybe bcoz the game is capped at 30fps.

I'm very interested. This current mod doesn't seem to be working out too well for me, I'd like to try a new one out to get the most performance possible!If anyone is interested, I have a vgpu mod that doesn't trig OVP.

Im interested in this one too, id love to see my card do 780+ core atleastIf anyone is interested, I have a vgpu mod that doesn't trig OVP.

I'm preparing pictures and instructions at this very moment. Hopefully I will be able to post them tomorrow.

excellent! I'm on water and my max temps are 45 on load...I know there is more to gain from my cards. I can't wait to check your stuff out..
hi guys, where can i get nibitor 4.9 to flash freq and raise up volt ? tnx

Want 2 ask every1: please, put your results of stable OC-frequencies before the mod(s), and after. It appears difficult to find those results - because all the discussion is about the voltage and impedance values; sometimes it seems that all have forgotten the purpose of those mods. Thnx for reading this.
PS in couple of days hope to get my new Tagan BZ 900W and start the experiments. I'll be using electric-conductive varnish for step 1-cause hardware interference is strictly unwanted.
PPS my english is far from perfect - explain me, please, what's that "vanilla" on every page of the thread means?

Vanilla means 'plain' or base model, like vanilla icecream, as opposed to the more expensive flavours of card like the SSC, FTW and other factory overclocked models
