RBE, 69xx, video clocks, and how they all fit

oh man... don't make us wait ...

I compiled the release candidate today, but since W1zzard is in Vegas visiting CES... He'll return by Tuesday and I hope he'll up the program right away. So after all, let's hope: Tuesday!

That are really good news!!!

Your work is really highly appreciated!!!!

Keep it on!

hi, can you say already which voltages will be tweakable (only VDDC and VDDCi as on the hd5870 series) or will there be also a Vram voltage tweakable (as some custom made pcbs of hd5870 allowed it, e.g. MSI lightning hawk edition i think, or asus ROG matrix)....
thanks

The 69x0 reference design allows for GPU voltage control only since there is only one VT1556M on it.

I'm looking forward for the voltage control, cause in cfx 6950>6970 ,voltage control isn't working yet and have to do with stock voltage .

Will CCC limits change also be working?

edit;

Will it continue uses a higher voltage 2d/3d or only in 3d state?

Only by Method 1 overdrive hacking. But only as soon as there are interesting signatures available.

Pardon me?
69x0 cards will use their highest voltage in 3D mode only, as far a I can tell. But I don't have one of those cards.

Just as with previous cards you can set the voltages for each individual powerplay settin, boot, 2D, UVD and 3D settings.

One big warning here, You guys really need to look at temps, upping the volts on these cards make a huge amount of heat, and the fans are loud. Set GPU-Z to show max temps in all of the sensor tabs and look at it after a bit of gaming, especially GPU temp 3 If it is breaking 90c or any of them are make sure to up the fan setting.

 

[Matess]

i just want to lower voltage and frequency on UVD

What's about 6800? Will there be a way to edit it's clocks and fan speed? Or only voltage tweaking is possible?

Only voltage because of new driver limitations.

Should be. Depends on W1zzard now.

Dear Bagz i find you a humble and involved programmer making a useful program like RBE. No airs and get the work done. Thanks! I cannot wait for later. TPU programmer and mods seem very good persons!

BTW here is a link of 6950 extra OC bios by MSI, should be signature you like?

Looking forward to experimenting with bios modding, so far my card locks up at 1000core even with 1.3 volts? (Using asus bios and smart doctor) Hoping bios mod can do better?
Gets 950 core with 1.22 volts

My memory can reach 1525mhz at stock voltage! Bios flash at 950/1525 at 1.22 volts should be possible

 

[davetheshrew]

they take a fair bit of voltage so good airflow is a must

Waiting For the RBE V1.27

its like christmas

Is there a way to use 6970 signature on 6950 BIOS? Can RBE do that?

Edit: But all of these BIOSes are 64kb?

 

[BAGZZlash]

Again: BIOS mods regarding clocks will most likely be rejected by Catalyst driver. You can try but be prepared for ATI's protection being engaged. Anyways, voltage control should work like a charm.

 

[tecnoworld]

is there a way to change the overclocking limit for CCC? i.e. from 840 to at least 900Mhz?

Scroll up.

[tecnoworld]

oh sorry. so if I understand correctly, you need a BIOS of a card with higher CCC limit, so to inject it in any other BIOS?

Couldn't you just get the overdrive signature from the 6970 BIOS? Dunno if that's feasible..

 

[davetheshrew]

a good thing to do is just install smartdoctor and tick overclocking range enhancement and then uninstall SD. works fine even when I install another ccc over the top. my ccc limits are 1620/2500
