Something new is approaching

Unwinder

Dear forum visitors,

Some time ago I informed you that RivaTuner v2.25 launch is delayed because I was busy in other project. I'm really happy to announce that new project is in final development stage now and can give some screenshots of upcoming beast. It will be the third RivaTuner technology based product launched on the market (the first ones were HIS iTurbo (EOL, development discontinued a few years ago) and EVGA Precision) and I hope that you'll like new RivaTuner's "brother" too:

That's everything I can say right now, stay tuned!

Nice work Unwinder. It looks fabulous!

Unwinder, is it possible to adjust voltage in my Asus GTX 285 with UP6208 controller?

looks class, good work

I can't see the picture but coming from you I guess that's a damn good brother.

Congrats and now we're waiting with patience for RivaTuner 2.25.

No ideas. Technically it should be possible, practically I'm not sure if voltage control on third-party display adapters will be allowed due to safety and possibly marketing issues.
Can you post I2C bus scan result (RivaTuner.exe /i2cd) captured on your ASUS GTX 285 to confirm that there is indeed UP6208?

Thanks for your response. Here it is the I2C bus scan result: http://rapidshare.com/files/27738165...E05E3.txt.html Thanks again.

Yep, according to I2C dump there is indeed UP6208 on I2C bus 0 device 47. So from technical POV the tool should be able to work with it with no problems, but once again I don't know yet if it will be allowed or not.
Anyway, you can always use RivaTuner's CLI to program the VRM directly like it is explained in that thread @ xtremesystems. Just don't forget to alter the I2C bus and device address into batch file (those .bat files are oriented on Lightning series which use UP6208 on different I2C bus (3) and different I2C device address (46)).

Yes, i figure it out that I2C bus 0 and device 47 is where the cake is.

Thank you for your time, Unwinder! Greatly aprecciated. I can now tune voltage via software!

Wow! Coolness. With this app, you'll REALLY stay tuned!

Did I say "AMD support"?

Yes, it will be available for red side too.

From Russia with love.

Looks amazing! Changing core voltage, that's something new, right ?

Bobas007 · 09-20-2009, 11:37 | posts: 80 | Location: Poland

I love new "graph" method for adjusting auto fan settings!
I hope it will be implemented in new RT version

frag85 · 09-21-2009, 00:14 | posts: 16

wow. this looks great. it looks like an evolution of RT. that would be great to control the voltages on my 275. mine just shuts down when i push the clocks too far and never shows artifacts so i'm guessing i'm voltage limited.

Copey · 09-21-2009, 01:15 | posts: 10,646 | Location: U.K

I use EVGA precision alot, this looks great to.

If your 275 is reference design one then you can forget about it, sorry. There are no software controllable VRMs onboard. And 275 shown on the screenshot is MSI N275GTX Lightning card, it is equipped with custom voltage controller.
Also, that's not an evolution of RT, I'd call it involution.

That's RT's core combined with skinned GUI and limited set of RT's features available to the end user.

Looks top notch. I like the interface, AND I have an MSI card, too.
