    Is it possible to use rivatuner to identify which VRM chip is used?

    I have Asus directcuII gtx570, rivatuner doesn't really support it at all (W7 x64) .. Is it possible to work around this limitation somehow?

    If the VRM is on the list of afterburner's supported chips, it'd be rather easy to configure AB to work with it.. But 1st I'd need to know which chip is it!

    Nobody? I already know I can get I2C dump strings which should identify the chips.. Unfortunately with zero reference as to which string would be connected with which chip..

    Thanks to wizzard at tpu
    ASUS rebranded the voltage regulator chip to their own "Super Hybrid Engine" technology, which involved scraping the paint off and putting the new markings there. Under the hood the chip seems to look identical to a UPI uP6225 which is used on some GTX 480 cards, for example

    Thank you! :cheers:

    However I didn't actually get it to work so maybe TU was wrong about the chip type.. Those QSOP chips look kinda samey if you scrape off the markings! Anyways I'm dumb, I was looking at the previous page at least dozen times but never went over to the "closer look" page!

    I'm using smartdoctor, however it dies if you have 2 GPUs so so much for using my old GTX260 for PhysX.
