Open beta test: 4770/4890/5850/5870/5970 owners

[BAGZZlash]

Seems I'm not having much luck, telling me there is no ATI card to be found now : [

Use GPU-Z to extract and save the BIOS first. Load it into RBE afterwards. Use WinFlash or better ATIFlash for flashing the BIOS then.

took the working bios with the modified regestries, changed the 3d voltage in powerplay to 1.17v (not the same as regestry value) and it BSOD - exactly the same as before, i notice some graphics corruption on the welcome screen (the blue background one for windows 7) and then it BSODs.

So without changing the powerplay table it works, even with GPU and memory registers changed? Does it work with changed powerplay settings and unchanged registers?

Yes.

Does it work with changed powerplay settings and unchanged registers?

I'm just fine tuning my overclock voltages, will test that in ~5mins

I would be willing to test, i have Tri-Fire 5850's that i have been dying to add a little more voltage on rather than being limited in AB.

 

[human_error]

Right, i have just tested with only changing the voltage value in the powerplay section - blue screen. It definately does not like that value being changed.

I've been testing with only changing the values in the regestries and it's working perfectly by changing those, so i'm happy

Well then, what stops you?

Lol, i am currently trapped at work until 3:15pm, what is the range of voltage operation that you can modify, from the lowest to highest? I have little experience doing this, but i have my laptop on stand by that i could communicate on this forum actively while it was being done.

I´m still at work, too. Is there anything special you would like to be tested after human_errors report?

I am very proud to present the first OC-bios for 5850

FLASHED WITH YOUR OUTSTANDING WORK!

BAGZZlash, you made it!​

Force3D HD 5850 / Win 7 64-bit / driver 10.1

Tried it with 5850-Asus-bios first. (Edit: ...deleted - see #44)


Took the 5870-Asus-bios afterwards:

Step 1:


Step 2:


NOTHING else to change!!! I didn´t even reinstall the drivers!

Step 3:
stored bios and flashed it

Idle:


Load:


Vantage:

DONE! BAGZZlash, you are the best!​

IMPORTANT: Do not change / overwrite the voltage (only the clocks!) in clock info 00!!!
Hint from Zoork: use same ram-clocks on clock info 00 + 04 + 05 with multi-display-setups!!!

 

[The_Soviet87]

How good is the OC?

Try it on yourself - your card is different from mine

You're very welcome...

Still waiting for 4770 GPU voltage and 4890 memory voltage modding testers!

Can you go higher on the voltages in the bios? I can get 1060mhz core/ 1200 memory at 1.35v, i would like to try 1.4 or 1.45, and a slight boost to memory voltage as well, maybe 0.15-0.30v

Stop writing & start testing & flashing!

I would, but i am at work.... I have been following this thread all morning, getting familiar with RBE, i just wanted to know if you could do that, because this is the first thing i am going to do when i get home.

 

[scamps]

the highest value to enter seems to be 2,7375 - but definitely not with my card

so 2.7375V? If so that i nice, not with my card either!!!

 

[scamps]

Also good to know: ATI Overdrive still works

 

[scamps]

Gave the 5850-Asus-Bios another try after a hint of Zoork and some investigations with Ox1974 @forumdeluxx.de. Now I am sure RBE works with 5850-bios too without problems:

Step 1:


Step 2 (also without w1zzard - entered directly) :


saved, flashed -

Thanks. Should be a bug, I'll look into it.
Yeah, I noticed this before. Should be no bug. Apparently the second BIOS does not program the memory voltage controller as the first BIOS does the job. Are there three or four VT1165s on a 5970? I think all the memory chips are volt-controlled by just one VT1165.

I think there are 3 VT1165MF's on a 5970, and the one marked U75 controls slave vrms altering VDDCI

Great Work BAGZZlash !!!

I've flashed my 2 HD5870 and it works absolutly fine ! I've flashed GPU 1000 / MEM 1250 @ 1,2V GPU... Everthing works, the cards switch between 2D Mode and 3D Mode without any Problems...

 

[jaredpace]

could you please resize your pic?

Haha! Sure, no problem, I thought it auto-resized... BTW, Thank you BagZZlash

Hi, thanks for this! I've been using RBE to edit my BIOS to further my overclocks on my 4890s. The only problem is that I do not see a voltage editor for the memory? I am certain I have VT1165. I checked on it and I can mod my core voltages but NOT with RBE for some strange reason if I change the voltage of the last hex string it doesnt work. Any suggestions?

Did you download the latest beta from the starters post? Which bios do you use? The default ATI HD4890 bios?

@the others
Did your memory overclock increase when the mem voltage is increased?
