If I'm not mistaken, only the Saphire 7850 has a dual bios (both my cards do not). Not sure about 79XX though!

If you have tested the card for a long time with those settings it should be ok! But if you want to play it safe, increase VDDC a little or decrease 3D clock a little! I will be traveling a lot for the rest of this month so I'll look into it in early Feb! Thanks anyway!

Well I can see your card's default 3D clock is 860 (both mine were 975 & 1000, obviously overclocked from the factory) so I can assume your card is probably one of the first to be manufactured. Your card might not be as stable as my cards are under-volted and under-clocked. However, if you can...

What I would do is put the VDDC of (#0 Core Clock) as low as you want to go. But you may also need to lower the #0 Core Clock speed and the Boot-up Clock otherwise the card might not boot! If you have a look at page 22 of this thread this is exactly what I did. I set VDDC to 0.850 and #0 Core...

Both my cards (Gigabyte & HIS 7850s) showed as unknown for vrm but I was still able to change the voltages! For anyone else, if it says unknown, try and mod the voltages at least one time to see if it works!

If you can't take measurements from the card directly, you can roughly estimate how many watts your video card is consuming by comparing the difference between an idle system and a stressed system. In all the measurements I made, my idle system was around 85 watts (just the tower case plugged...

You can download the program on the very 1st page at the bottom of the 1st post! Just click on one of the images! Or right mouse click and "Save link as".

Hello to all who are enjoying this great graphics card mod tool! I know in most cases we are trying to get the maximum out of our new (or old) technology that's why we are here. Heck, I've been over-clocking since I got my 1st PC back in 1992 which was a 486 DX-50! But sometimes in...
