BIOS flasher club

I think so. I kind of need a "walk through" as I've never flashed a video card before. What voltage should I flash to help me overclock the core? What's a safe amount to increase the voltage?

lol, ket's working on screwing jemma, unfortunantly it hasn't happend it....

Paulie, I've got a great guide in my sig. There is a drop down menu, I would just select the next highest voltage. DO NOT SELECT ?.? SETTINGS, and don't do it without expecting some high temps if you're using a stock cooler.

X1950pro here flashed from

575mhz core to 648mhz
688mhz ram to 770mhz
vgpu from 1.35v to 1.4v

works fine with a vf900 on it.

My problem is, I don't have a floppy anymore. Is there a windows based utility to do this? Would winflash work?

that should work.

I just downloaded NVflash, but have NO idea how to use it to increase voltage.

 

[panchoman]

nvflash is just for flashing the bios i believe, you gotta edit the bios to increase the voltage and then flash the modded bios using nvflash. check hat's guide about how to mod the bios.

if i would turn my shader down could i get a higher OC? Before i upped the shaders i could get 600mhz with a few errors but not many.Now i set it to 600mhz the video card hangs.

 

[panchoman]

the shader speeds are linked to the core speed. sort of like memory, so if your memory is very high and then you raise your cpu, the memory will be too high, but if you lower the memory and then up the core, but will go up togheter. so theoretically yeah, drop down the shaders and then up the core.

ok will do... The shaders are stock at 20mhz (i think) and i am running at 30mhz before the OC.Here is 3D mark 01 before lowering shaders lets see if i see a dif in score.

imma put my money on the fact that you might loose a few points.

Windows flashing is nutoriosly risky. You can make a DOS CDROM and load the bios files off of the hard drive while in dos.

 

[panchoman]

i used ati win flash didn't really have much of a problem..

 

[hat]

You were lucky.

your right.Same clocks 2 runs on both high and low 15mhz shaders low 30mhz high
here is the low shaders

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i didn't get higher clocks with lower shaders so i upped the shaders back up again.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I just learned that higher shaders can give you a higher score thats nothing you can poke a BIOS at lol .I am not going to tell my shades but all clocks are the same on CPU and GPU also V-ram and RAM.
