Help I Need To Overclock My M1710 GPU - Page 6

post #101 of 109
The nvidia optimal suggested 558 is the limit for me.

Should I just try to fry my card? It's in warrantee, lol.

Anyways, you got 2.16 and 2 gb ram, that's a big difference. Although I heard that even if you set your cpu running at 998 Mhz, the 3dmark 05 is still the same.

I will probably lower my memory and up the clock a bit to test it out tonite.

Again, I hope I can be back here to post if the card is not fried.

Got better scores with 91.31

I can't seem to understand why people seem to favor the 84.56 over the 91.31 Xtreme Nvidia Drivers. My test show the 91.31 performs better in the the artificial benchmarks (at least). Oced at 561/731 I get these results

With 91.31 Xtreme

3DMark01 26150
3DMark03 19855
3DMark05 8937
3DMark06 5233

With 84.56 (2.40) Xtreme

3DMark01 25682
3DMark03 19469
3DMark05 8866
3DMark06 5107

Thing you will need:
NiBotTor 2.8a (or newer)
http://www.mvktech.net/index.php?opt...filecatid=1591
Coolbits 2.0
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download...t=815#download
Nvflash ver. 5.31 http://www.mvktech.net/component/opt...rent,category/
bootable Memory key/Floppy disk/ Bootable CD

Step 1: Coolbits

1 Install cool bits
2 Go to the Display propertes, settings,GeForce 7900 xxx tab
3 Click on "Control Panel User Interface"
4 Click on "Classic Nividia Control Panel", Click "Apply"
5 From the Menu on the Left Select " Clock Frequency Settings"
6 Click on "Manual overclocking", Click "i accept" on the license agreement
7 Click on "Detect Optimal Frequencies", it will test the for optimal clock (the screen may flicker or blank for a second"

Once the test is done it will show what it considers the Optimal clocks for your card are. Write these numbers down these are the starting clocks speeds.


Step 2: NiBiTor

1 Extract NiBiTor to you system and Lanch it
2 Select 'Tools" from the menu
3 Select "Read BIOS", then click on "Select Device"
It will display : Deviceid: 0xxx (unknown), Click "OK"
4 Select 'Tools" from the menu
5 Select "Read BIOS", then click on "Read into NiBitor"
Click on "OK" on the Device unknown pop-up, Note: "Geforce7 series" will be listed in the drop down above the OK/Abort buttons.
6 Click on "File" then selecst "Save BIOS", call it default (This is to make sure you have a backup of the default bios in case of emergency. I recommend saving it to same folder you extracted NiBitor to, so it easy to find)

Ok now you have the vbios loaded in to NiBiTor, on the "Clockrates" tab you will see the 3D clocks. Now it time to edit the clocks.
7 Click in the box next 3D under core and enter the core clock you found in step 1.
8 Click in the box next 3D under memory and enter the memory clocks you found in step 1.
9 Click on "File" then selecst "Save BIOS" save it using any name you like (I recommend saving it to same folder you extracted NiBitor to, so it easy to find)


Step 3: Flashing the card.


1 Move the nvflash files and the edited vBIOS to you bootable media
2 Reboot the system using your bootable media
3 Once at the Dos prompted type "nvflash xxxxx.rom" (without the quotes. xxxxx= what you named the file)
Nvflash will load, then display some card info and display the message "Update display adapter firmware? Press 'y' to confirm (any other key to abort):"
4 Press "Y" to flash the bois.

Contgrats you have now flashed your video card and its time to test your changes. I would recommend running a game or 3dmark looped for 15 to 20 mins to see if the card is stable before re-editing the bios to up the clocks further.
Note: If you see corruption in the graphics, or lock-up you will want to lower the clocks you have gone to far..



Sorry for any typo's

Enjoy

I am not that familiar with NiBotTor 2.8a with regards to upping the voltage. I have the 7900GS single pipe, currently I am only running at 425/615 using your steps to make the rom files using NiBotTor 2.8a. But when I go to the voltage section I am not quite sure what to do to up the voltage to increase my cards voltage. I may not even need to do it, but I want to make sure I know how to do it during my testing for stability and all going above 425/615..

Any help is appreciated, if you could.

Hi , first post

got an m1710 also ( with the 7900 GTX 512 ) , with the core 2 duo processor , i currently have the clocks to 620 / 700 , but my recommended settings from the nvidia panel are 632 / 735 so i will push this a little further now

Anyhow my score in 3dmark 05 is now 10133 , with the quality setting in nvidia panel 'quality'

Not bad if you ask me

Ill keep this updated !
post #109 of 109
Well, any higher than 625 725 crashes , so ill stick with this setting , gives me 10240 in 3dmark05 now
