Okay so your saying that if I flash the 7800 Go BIOS with the 7800GTX Go Bios, it will automaticly change voltage from 1.1v to 1.3v?

Can you plz gimme the file/link/whatever needed to do this? plzplz!

Look with NiBiTor which memory timingset (1 to 7) is in use in case of the Go and with the Go GTX BIOS.
Then have a look at the several memory timing figures like Tras, Trcd etc. that belong to this timingset.
It will show you immediately wether you have two different memory timings or not.

jack sorry

1050ram apply with nibitor directly in bios...???

sorry my english

Yes. I couldn't get the NVidia overclock to stay. It would test so I could get a feeling for what might be possible but as soon as it was done testing it would revert back to the BIOS setting.

you have to flash the bios with the GTX (bios) to change clocks.... it can't be done in software as with the vanilla bios.

have disk boot for emergency?

I have a USB drive formatted for booting with an autoexec.bat file which allows me to just press "y" if ever I run into trouble (like the time I flashed the desktop GTX BIOS instead of the laptop one). It also allows me to make a lot of changes and tests with my BIOS.

Change clock and voltage could be done even in the Go bios, so which difference do you find applying the GTX one?
Timings won't change so much benchmark results, and clock range won't change with different timings.
And most of all it could be very risky...

Jack there's no Rivatuner screen that let you see real and USEFUL memory clocks if it doesn't get you to more performance.
Andre gets a better score than yours with the same core and ram set to 950 Mhz..
I could even apply 820 Mhz to my DDR, but I do get a worse score in benchs than when I stay about 780-790 Mhz...that's because there's no way to go beyond hardware limit of my DDR, next to that there's only performance loss.
So, the fact that you could even set 1050 but it's not USEFUL is the demonstration of that DDR3 limit.
The fact that you already admitted that limit mismatches with your enthusiasm about 1050 Mhz...
It's not a matter of numbers, just performance!
So, GTX DDR3 are totally another kind of DDR3, that's my opinion.

can i have this file??
plssssss

danello,

Read the thread more closely. I can get my memory to 1053 Mhz with no artifacts. This has greatly improved my 3DMark06 score. Notice that I only have the T2300 CPU, and everyone with similar scores has the T2400, T2500 or even T2600 (such as Andre). If you do comparisons on FutureMark's web site, you'll see that CPU makes a BIG difference.

Also, since I'm the only user with >1Ghz memory, I'd say the GTX BIOS is doing something. I've picked up over 400 3DMark06 points by using the GTX BIOS and increasing the clocks. Obviously, it's working.

@ Cpt. Jack

Can you provide me the link for the 7800GTX Go BIOS?
You just have to download the BIOS, flash it, and your ready to go?
Does the 7800GTX Go Bios automaticly set the voltage to 1.3v?
Isn't the temperatures increasing?
post #52 of 96
I used this BIOS:

http://www.mvktech.net/component/opt...rent,category/

Which I just modified to 465/525 using NiBiTor and flashed onto my 7800Go using NVFLASH -4 -5 -6 7800GTX.ROM. You'll need a boot CD or USB drive. Info on those is in several other threads.

The temps are a little higher under high stress, but idle is about the same. The 7800GTX BIOS will already be set to 1.3v, since that's what the GTX runs at by default.

You can use this utility to make a bootable USB flash drive. It's from HP but should work on just about anything.

Thank you!

Oh, one more thing. What's best to do out of these two options:

1. Flash the BIOS with the 7800GTX BIOS ?
2. Flash the BIOS with the 1.3v voltmod ?

Both options will give me 1.3v, but whats the advantages/disadvantages of those two options?
Will I see better benchmarking results by using option 1?

EDIT: Even one more thing @ Cpt. Jack: Why do you have to use NiBiTor to change the clocks of the 7800GTX BIOS? Can't that just be done in the nVidia control panel?

yes
Flash the BIOS with the 7800GTX BIOS


my go
now
mod bios gtx 1.2 v 440 1110
no artifact....

BUT PERFORMANCE IS =
post #56 of 96
So your saying that I should flash with NiBiTor modded 7800GTX BIOS @ 1.2v, 440/1110 mhz ?
The performance gets bad with 440/1110 mhz?
post #57 of 96
hey andre, i am getting really mad at it-premiere.de. the have the exact same web page at shop-premier.de can u please please send me the link so i can get the geforce go 7800 gtx cooling assembly. i wanna put it on my 6800 vanilla and volt mod the sucker and see what it can do.

yeah i have been on it-premier.de for about half an hour now clicking all of the links and i even made an account. i keep on going to hardware > notebooks > Notebookzubehör and i click on everything there and i can't find it. can u pretty please with a cherry on top navigate the site and tell me where it is?

* now i have translated the sitemap into english and i still can't find the sucker. what is going on here?
