2. Yes, if you have the power headroom.

3. KGB does not yet touch the Boost Clock. Again the Max_Boost_Freq is really just the highest clock in the clock table.

4. 1267 is the highest clock your card can achive on its own (it's the highest clock in the clock table set in your bios). You only see it go up to 1167 because you need more voltage, and power. If you use KGB or V3DT to mod your bios for more voltage and power it will boost up to 1267. However one caveat may be your card is unstable at 1267, you would then need to set Max_Boost_Freq to keep it from hitting 1267.

5. For most cards yes. This allows the card to function as intended. I've seen some strange or unpredictable side effects when running 1.2125. However iv'e also seen where this can eliminate throttling. So your mileage may vary with this one.

6. I don't know, but I think 150% is quite safe. I have had no reports of anyone blowing their card up yet with KGB.

7. I suppose your talking about V3DT. From what I can tell there is a GPU power target, and a total board power target. The GPU power target is what is settable in KGB, and is what you see via software adjustment.

8. Yes
1. Got it.

2. Got it.

3. Got it.

4. Got it.

5. I have no problems with throttling since my card is watercooled by the AC Accelero Hybrid Cooler. So the only advantage of using 1.2125 is to eliminate throttling? Other than that, the max overclock of the card will be the same for both voltages? AFAIK, if you set the card to 1.1875 it will stay at 1.1875 when the card is at its Boost Clock (without KB), right? What if the card is overclocked with software such that the Offset is added to the Boost Clock, wouldn't a constant voltage (instead of 1.18785, we set the card to 1.2125 in vBIOS) be better to ensure that it won't crash at the Boost Clock event?

6. Got it.

7. Well, when I use the command "kgb.exe your_bios.rom" I see two values for power: Power Target: 200000 and Max Power Target: 225000 <112%>. What is the difference between both and which setting is changed by KGB or V3DT?

8. Got it.

9. Let's say I modify the Max Boost Clock with KGB by adding a non-divisible-by-13 clock speed, will KGB automatically round up or down to the nearest VALID clock speed?

Thanks
