I wouldnt mind trying the GTX BIOS myself...

What are your temps like at those speeds Reaver?

I just got the bios from the 7900GTX OC bootdisk floating around the forum, and yes the bios is for the 512mb version but it seems to identify he GS correctly as 256MB. My temps have risen slightly to 85-90 when gaming.

Here's a permanent link I found for the 7900gtx boot disc. You can find it here.

Anyway, enjoy!

This is insane this I must see with my own eyes plus I must have the GTX label on my own card!

why?? 675 mhz for core or flash in gtx'?

i tried avery posible config with the gtx and i can get the same clocks as with the gs, i think raver went to 675 before too with the gs bios, the memory van be rise a lottle but not much. Finally the temps are the same and artifacts too, i get the same scores at 600c675 as with v5751150, so ia not worth it for me, i am thinking to to ask for a new card, because mine is defenetly a low end card and i am getting bsod all the time refering a memory parity error, i will try to convinve dell support that is the video cards fault.

i will try unlocking the pipelines by masking the bit directly in the bios, but i will have to do some research first. The command is too risky if used incorrectly.

do I need to add the 8 degrees offset when using the "tweaksrus" http://www.tweaksrus.com/ forceware drivers? Does anyone have any opinions on which drivers are better than others? If so, which ones need the offsets and which ones don't, and how many degrees offsets needed for each? Thanks guys. It is hard to sift through so many pages of this post! Thanks in advance!

Thanks, yeah I was hitting near 675MHz without the bios, but now I'm hitting it easily without any artifacting. The memory OC is substantial, I could barely hit 1200 before and now I'm at 1650 artifact free. The boost in performance is not huge since the bottleneck is core, but as I haven't had any adverse affects from the bios, I'll definately keep it. Oh and I've tried unmasking units with no luck, I'm pretty sure they're laser locked. I've heard from a few different sources that vendors have bios locked out certain clocks and that NVIDIA will force the vendors to remove the bios lockout once the DX10 cards rollout.

why would they force them? I believe they they are bios masked, but its hard to tell, and its hard to use the unmasking command too. The bios mod is only worth it ehrn the card can handle higher gpu clocks, in my case it cant, and my performcance with the mod is lower than without it at same clocks, so to see significant results the gpu must be clocked higher and i cant do it, mine is a low end card. I hate my card, at 6001200gtx i get same results as with 5751150GS, both without artifacts. but at 6001200GS i get better results no artifacts on games but artifacts on atitool, if i could only get the card to 6501300GTX that would boost my performance without artifacts.

I wonder if the GTX BIOS is adding more latency to the RAM timings.
As it looks the RAM is running faster in clocks but not actual speed.
Also weird how the RAM can not go past 1200 on a GS with out artifacting but can happily do 1600Mhz as a GTX.

It is quite unusual that we can attain Desktop 7900GTX card speeds but as Reaver pointed out that the Core is the bottle neck the speeds wontbe realized anyway.

I’m just curious, has anyone had any problems what’s so ever with the A04 Bios? I updated my bios today to A04 and my 7900GTX seemed to run a lot hotter, and I already have it overclocked to 625\750 with the A02 bios I’ll run coolbits overclock detection just to see if I can get a little more out of my card and it usually takes a couple a seconds as it detects and gives me a few more MHz on the core and the memory like 630\760 for example. Well when I Flashed it to A04 I tried the same thing and it didn’t take its time at all almost as if the settings I had were already too high of a clock, So I flashed back to A02 and everything is fine again and the laptop runs a bit cooler. Weird huh?

@pieter
Actually higher latency was the the first thing I thought of when I flashed the bios, it seems pretty likely given the minor performance gain with huge memory OCs.

In that case we should try to use the 7950gtx bios to see its performance, it was posted a while ago on the forums. The timmigs as reaver said are the same, but the card runs defenetly slower at same clocks, i guess its becuase the bios is meant to boost extra performance with the pipelines and vertex shadres insted of clocks, and we have ours locked or missing. Unlocking them would be the best way to boost performance in about 20%.
