Possible Sapphire Trixx bug or not?

I haven't used Trixx really till now.

My 6990 didn't like trixx at all, and now I've upgraded to a rreference 7970 and Trixx works well.

But something is just bothering me.

When I fire trixx up I see the core voltage is showing 1.175v
But when I hit reset the voltage shows 1.168v

What is this card's voltage? 1.175 or 1.168v?

Pop open GPU-Z before opening Trixx, check the VDDC, then go and do the render test for verifying the interface to load the card, check VDDC again, will have your idle volts and load volts.

EDIT: Forgot my card has crazy bad droop. 1.15v is stock for me, but under load does 1.12-1.13v. So you might need to account for that. Or pull the BIOS with GPU-Z and pop it in RBE, should be able to tell you there too.

RBE don't work. And thats pulled from Gpu-z... it named itself Tahiti.rom

There is more than one voltage for these cards.

1.175 is usually correct..that's the VID. At the same time, there is also a hardware VID programmed, which can vary. Some cards get 1.1 V only, others get more, and flashing BIOS cannot change this. You can simply override it using software(which makes it no big deal).

When you run Trixx, that's your hardware VID voltage. Hitting RESET applies the VID in BIOS.

Try HWMonitor to see what gets applied in real-time. It can read both VID and VDDC on most cards(but not all, damn you ASUS!@!).:roll:

As Dave mentioned, GPU voltage is different for each single GPU.

Figuring out the value is quite difficult and all three AMD BIOS, AMD Driver and TRIXX have small rounding errors, so sometimes the values will not exactly match. They voltages should be close enough anyway to be considered equal.
