@7egend
not sure what you flashed your card with, but today i had a 3dmark05 score of 9455 @ 650/580 with my rev 1 card.. max temp 78 degrees. i flashed the 1.24v bios and, even though i can't reach 800ish with the ram, i'm still scoring faaar better than regular bios.. i highly recomend it.. try it again with the proper bios..

The only Difference between the Bios I flashed and the one you Flashed is the increase in Voltage. I didnt go that way cause i do not like the high temps on my lap. Like I said in my edit though I am going to try the order i mentioned with the unchanged voltage, and see if i cant get tleast 7500, then try to voltmodded version of the bios and see if i cant get a 9000 range out of it. To be honest I am happy with the performance I have, but I am looking for a score of about 8000 - 8500 with nice low ambient temps and nice full load temps. I dont mind having the internal fans on max all the time but i cant justify the changed bios if i am only going to get a 500 increase in 3dmark05 with a 450/610 oveclock thats a 100mhz increase on memory and a 75mhz increase on the core, that is a deccent overclocking to only recieve a 500 increase...in my opinion.

Hey,

A while ago I flahed my 7900GTX with the bios and it worked great. I have a minor questions though. How do I put the stock, locked BIOS back on the card? Pretty much so dell couldnt tell I was overclocking. I used the 790GTXNN.ROM from his disc but when booted into Windows I can still overclock? Is there a website that has it or anything?

You could try this flash bios file: http://www.notebookforums.com/thread154583.html I know it has a 'original.rom'.

Well i tested the 791GSunv.rom on my laptop a few minutes ago

upon flashing and running 3dmark05 i was scoring 6400's like the orignal bios would score, the un-voltmodded bios was scoring only 5800's so at this point i figured good maybe this bios is going to work like it should for my gpu.

i opened up atitool and started working my way up, i figured 450/610 would be a good place to start since that is where my last bios lead me up too. well that didnt work so well, it artifcted and was very very unstable at those speeds.

I ran fans on full speed the entire time keeping the laptop to a min of 40C and a max of 68C

I tried so many different things only to get artifacts, I know i can get a stable core of atleast 700mhz which is very nice, but the memory found no high speed stability. I stepped the core down and tried matching the memory speed up with it and still artifacts seemed to be the only thing that this bios was good for.

I dont know if my card was meant for overclocking or not. The only stable overclock i got was at 575/680, it was very stable and on ATITool was spinning the Fur Cube at 150FPS avg. It showed no artifacts what so ever. Till i loaded 3dmark05, it seems that the card loved it in ATItool but when put to real world gaming the FPS dropped by about 10 - 15FPS from the original. So i retarted and tried it again, same results.

For my card, the 1.24 on the core is very unstable and inopperable at higher clock speeds than stock it provides more hurt than gain if that even makes sense?

the 791gsunn.rom also provided un-satisfactory results.

I was seeking around 8500 on 3dmark05 on my Single Pipe 7900GS, but I do not see that flashing my Rev1 card is going to provide that for me, unless i could get a bios that was a GTX bios that supported the rev1 cards, and also had the Memory Optimized. Then maybe i could get the speed everyone else is getting.

As for now, my stock GPU will blaze through all the game i throw at it, and I love my 7900GS to put it through any bios flashing bullcrap that yields no results.

This is nothing against Juan and his great work on the Unlocked Bios(s) though he has done great work and I hope he continues to update them and hopefully he might get one that will let me take full advantage of my cards performance. But as of now there is not one that I can.

man, you're doing it wrong.. 680 for the mem is way too much for the rev 1 card with this bios... i have to set my card at 580 mem in order not to have artifacts... but i can get as high as 650 on the core, and that puts me in the 9400 range in 3dmark05... try lowering your mem to where you don't get artifacts and work on the core... you'll see the benefits right away..

juan, thanks for your hard work.. can we expect from you an unlocked and memory optimized bios for the rev 1 that has the same performance levels of the rev 0 you created? thanks..

I hate to sound noobish, but I have never flashed a bios and have been out of the modding of computers for well over a year now and need help with my 7800 Go. My problem is that the overclock on my card turns on and off about every second or two and keeps doing this. I was refered to here by a fellow dell computer owner to fix the problem. First which version of bios should I use, where do i get the bios and flasher utility and how to I safely perform the flash. In my desktop days I have spend days overclocking and tweaking the computer and still liked to push it now and then, but now I just want a stable overclock that will stay on. Oh and yes, I am very aware of the risks of modding. Thanks in advance.

those are for the 7900gs though, I have the 7800go, would that work just the same for my bios?

You may be able to use nibitor to modify the clocks of your own bios and flash it but im not sure about it. Then use a bootable cd to flash it. (at your own risk of course)

guys i got a question...im not planning on overclocking but the 3rd replacement computer that i got from dell has rev 0 on it..my 2nd replacement has rev 1...it seems to me that rev1 runs video smoother than rev 0....is there a way to flash the Stock Rev1 bios on to my currently rev0 bios?

you dont need 1.24 volt flash (off course you gets little higher scores, but 1 volt its enough with the games today). i gets really high 3dmark scores with 1 volt flash. maybe when Crysis comes, i reflash my card to 1.24 volt. all others games i play, dosent need more power. i can play all of them in Native with Max AA, etc. (1.24 volt flash, also gives much higher temp).

if you want to OC really high with 1 volt flash. "Disable clocktest" in Rivatuner. god dame, what a scores you get !

I recently ordered a Dell XPS M1710 which should arrive in 2 weeks from now. I've put it together with the GeForce 7900GS. I've read this thread and the others concerning the overclocking of the GS. I'm planning on using the bios from the start post to find my maximum possible clock speeds while in Windows and than flash them, so that I don't have to try out a whole lot of rooms. I've got just one question, how do I see if I've got a rev 0 or rev 1 GS?
Thanks in advance

you will have to look in the nvidia controls panel to see what bios version you have, or you can nibitor and load your bios to see what version you have.
look here http://home.tele2.es/jlgm/peng.html and it will tell you what revision card you have with the bios you are running.

Has anyone else found that their 3DMark, etc. scores while running at max performance on battery are not where they should be? I have a 7800GTX that scores 5000 on balanced and 7500 on max performance. However, when I set powermizer to max performance on battery I still get around 5000 or maybe 10% higher. The clocks register as correct in AtiTools. Is there some additional throttling occurring, perhaps as the battery drains?

On battery the clocks will run throttled to save battery life. This is done through the card's bios so it can't be changed in software unless you unlock the bios. I think there is a 7800GTX bios with powermizer unlocked from Juan but I don't know off thetop of my head. I know the 7900 bios's have powermizer unlocked on battery.
