Cannot submit VGA BIOS

qubit · Mar 21, 2011, 12:46 AM

GPU-Z 0.5.1 aborts on the duplicates check. Yet, when I look for it, the BIOS for my card is not there.

Here's the details of my new card:

Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti Super Overclock
Model: GV-N560SO-1GI-950
Core clock: 950
Memory clock: 1145 (quad pumped: 4580 data rate)

However, on checking the VGA BIOS collection and filtering it, here there isn't a BIOS with a 950MHz clock speed.

The duplicate BIOS apparently has filename 95539.rom However, it's not possible to see which listing has this filename, as it's not shown anywhere and clicking Download does not offer a filename remotely similar to this. Instead, it looks something like: Gigabyte.GTX560Ti.1024.110121.bin

On top of that, the two 1GHz BIOSes have been modified with nibitor. My card works fine at 1GHz, but I'd be more comfortable using an unmodified BIOS.

Here's a GPU-Z screenshot of my card working at stock speed:

w1zz has to manually check and upload all bios submissions. It takes time. This is why it says there is a duplicate, but you can't find it in the listings

Ok, that's fine, thanks Sneeky. This means that poor W1zz has at least two submissions from me, as I tried again, lol.

As there's the manual check, then surely it would be much better if GPU-Z simply reported that the BIOS is being checked? The current message is completely misleading.

Maybe add a request in the GPU-z section? PM W1zzard?

I have seen a few threads like this, maybe changing the message would keep these threads at bay as well. Not that its bad you are asking

Sounds like a good idea. Will do.

It means your bios is in the database though it hasn't been updated yet. It takes a little while for it to go public.
