Hi, this is my first post in this forum, but I've been reading and gathering info for a while to do a mod on my Fx5700 on my own... Let me explain the whole process before exposing my problem: - First I tried a softmod as proposed by klipi. I was able to unlock the Quadro options, but didn't get the performance and I got lockups in SpecViewperf... - I then decided to go for the hardmod, but, to my surprise, the resistors in my GPU were not placed where everyone else said... They were supposed to be like this: . - . - - . and then you would just remove the first two resistors. But on my GPU, they were placed like this: . - . - . - So I first tried removing the first two... no luck. Then I tried to move the third one to the left, but in the process I lost the resistor, so I finally got this: . . . . . . . . . Anyway, the card did work, so I tried again with NVstrap and drivers 66.81 patched against Forceware and NVstrap protection. Well, finally I got it to recognise it as a Quadro FX1100, with all pro options available under the OpenGL menu. But now, SpecViewperf 8.1 doesn't show the performance of a Quadro, and it's unable to pass two of the tests... Here are the results: Run All Summary ---------- SUM_RESULTS\3DSMAX\SUMMARY.TXT 3dsmax-03 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.394 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\CATIA\SUMMARY.TXT catia-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 0.00000 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\ENSIGHT\SUMMARY.TXT ensight-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.348 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\LIGHT\SUMMARY.TXT light-07 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.630 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\MAYA\SUMMARY.TXT maya-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 6.180 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\PROE\SUMMARY.TXT proe-03 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.527 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\SW\SUMMARY.TXT sw-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 0.00000 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\UGS\SUMMARY.TXT ugs-04 Weighted Geometric Mean = 7.301 Can anyone help me find outif I have any chance to get this working?

well.....I really don't know how to help. Bottom resistor is (was)really on different place on your card. On my moded 5700 ultra I have that resistor still on original position (left). I had also problems runing specviewperf until I removed those two resistors on top. After that Installed Nvstrap...forced Quadro 1100..etc Do we need to install forceware protection ( I can not remember) Im running 67.22 drivers (maybe try this) Specviewperf 8.1: -3dsmax is around 17 -Light is around 15
Thanks for your reply, klipi! I'll try with those other drivers... By the way, did you patch them with Softquadro as well? You told so in your post about the fx5700 mod, but I've read in other posts that softquadro on 6x.xx & 7x.xx drivers are causing lockups, and that it's not necessary to apply that patch. Anyway, I'll try different combinations and see how it goes. Thanks again.
Ok, I tried 67.22 with just Forceware Antiprotection and NVstrap antiprotection. SPView 8.1 results almost the same as before, but could run all tests. Then with 67.22 patched against Forceware, NVstrap, and Softquadro. Surprisingly, it's also stable, and I get a veeeery slight improvement in SpecView 8.1: Run All Summary ---------- SUM_RESULTS\3DSMAX\SUMMARY.TXT 3dsmax-03 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.892 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\CATIA\SUMMARY.TXT catia-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 3.765 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\ENSIGHT\SUMMARY.TXT ensight-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.585 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\LIGHT\SUMMARY.TXT light-07 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.875 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\MAYA\SUMMARY.TXT maya-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 7.025 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\PROE\SUMMARY.TXT proe-03 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.708 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\SW\SUMMARY.TXT sw-01 Weighted Geometric Mean = 4.933 ---------- SUM_RESULTS\UGS\SUMMARY.TXT ugs-04 Weighted Geometric Mean = 7.894 But obviously not a Quadro performance. So, I don't know what to do next... Does anyone know if it's possible to buy one of those tiny resistors to try soldering it again? Thanks.

try to find my post on this forum about moding 5700 to quadro. In following posts someone said that using conducting pen (not soldiering) you can replace those resistors...I don't know what is conducting pen to be honest... just read all posts in that thread......hope you can make it...good luck also you can compare your dump with mine....you can find it also on this forum....just search with my nick
Hi bp2005 The report is just fine , you have succeed . But there is something problem about the mobo driver : $0000000004 Bus type : AGP revision 3.0 $0000000005 AGP status : disabled Reinstall the mobo driver , and see what hapen .
OK, thanks for those answers... rui0317, I already noticed that AGP status line, but I've found no way to fix it... even reinstalling mobo drivers. My guess is that it's not the best mobo to do these kind of things, since it is a Mini ITX with an integrated ATI chipset. However, the manuals say it supports AGP 4x and 8x. I've tried to force AGP sideband adressing and fastwrites in the NVstrap driver, and then reinstalling the nvidia drivers again, but it keeps saying "disabled". In the BIOS setup, there's no option to enable that, it just lets me choose the preferred video device on startup, which is set to AGP. Can anyone can guide me further on how to enable the AGP status? Thanks again.
OK, I'm almost there... I managed to enable AGP and now RT report looks like that: $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $ffffffffff Display adapter information $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $0000000000 Description : NVIDIA Quadro FX 1100 $0000000001 Vendor ID : 10de (NVIDIA) $0000000002 Device ID : 034e $0000000003 Location : bus 1, device 5, function 0 $0000000004 Bus type : AGP revision 3.0 $0000000005 AGP status : enabled $0000000006 AGP rate : 4x 8x supported, 8x selected $0000000007 AGP SBA : hardwired, enabled $0000000008 AGP FW : supported, enabled $0000000009 Base address 0 : e4000000 (memory range) $000000000a Base address 1 : d0000000 (memory range) $000000000b Base address 2 : none $000000000c Base address 3 : none $000000000d Base address 4 : none $000000000e Base address 5 : none $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $ffffffffff OpenGL driver information $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $0f00000000 Vendor : NVIDIA Corporation $0f00000001 Renderer : Quadro FX 1100/AGP/SSE2 $0f00000002 Version : 1.5.2 $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $ffffffffff NVIDIA specific display adapter information $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $0100000000 Graphics core : NV36 revision A1 $0100000001 Hardwired ID : 0347 (ROM strapped to 034e) $0100000002 Memory bus : 128-bit $0100000003 Memory type : DDR (RAM configuration 06) $0100000004 Memory amount : 262144KB $0100000005 Core clock : 250.714MHz $0100000006 Memory clock : 199.500MHz (399.000MHz effective) $0100000007 Reference clock : 27.000MHz $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $ffffffffff NVIDIA graphics processor registers $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $020100003c CR3C : 00000068 $0200000000 NV_PMC_BOOT_0 : 436e00a1 $0200001080 NV_PBUS_DEBUG_0 : 00000000 $0200001084 NV_PBUS_DEBUG_1 : 00215749 $0200001088 NV_PBUS_DEBUG_2 : 00020222 $020000108c NV_PBUS_DEBUG_3 : 00000092 $02000010f0 NV_10F0 : 00007fff $0200001218 NV_1218 : f0000101 $0200001540 NV_1540 : 00000000 $02000015f0 NV_15F0 : 00000000 $02000015f4 NV_15F4 : 00000000 $02000015f8 NV_15F8 : 00000000 $0200004000 NV_4000 : 00000000 $0200004004 NV_4004 : 00000000 $0200004008 NV_4008 : 00000000 $0200004010 NV_4010 : 00000000 $0200004014 NV_4014 : 00000000 $0200004018 NV_4018 : 00000000 $020000401c NV_401C : 00000000 $0200004020 NV_4020 : 00000000 $0200004024 NV_4024 : 00000000 $020000402c NV_402C : 00000000 $0200004030 NV_4030 : 00000000 $0200004038 NV_4038 : 00000000 $020000403c NV_403C : 00000000 $0200004044 NV_4044 : 00000000 $0200004048 NV_4048 : 00000000 $0200004050 NV_4050 : 00000000 $020000c000 NV_C000 : 00000000 $020000c010 NV_C010 : 00000000 $020000c014 NV_C014 : 00000000 $020000c018 NV_C018 : 00000000 $020000c01c NV_C01C : 00000000 $020000c020 NV_C020 : 00000000 $020000c024 NV_C024 : 00000000 $020000c028 NV_C028 : 00000000 $020000c02c NV_C02C : 00000000 $020000c040 NV_C040 : 00000000 $020000c04c NV_C04C : 00000000 $0200100200 NV_PFB_CFG : 030f0005 $020010020c NV_PFB_CSTATUS : 10000000 $0200100220 NV_PFB_TIMING0 : 04080e0e $0200100224 NV_PFB_TIMING1 : 06010405 $0200100228 NV_PFB_TIMING2 : 00230204 $02001002c0 NV_PFB_MRS : 00000032 $02001002c4 NV_PFB_EMRS : 00100000 $0200100474 NV_100474 : 00000000 $0200101000 NV_PEXTDEV_BOOT_0 : a170e11b $0200101004 NV_PEXTDEV_BOOT_0_AND : 6040407f $0200101008 NV_PEXTDEV_BOOT_0_OR : 0130a100 $020010100c NV_PEXTDEV_BOOT_1 : 80000090 $0200101010 NV_PEXTDEV_BOOT_1_AND : 7fffffff $0200101014 NV_PEXTDEV_BOOT_1_OR : 00000000 $020060081c NV_PCRTC_GPIO_EXT : 26065665 $0200680500 NV_PRAMDAC_NVPLL_COEFF : 00011a07 $0200680570 NV_PRAMDAC_NVPLL_COEFF_1 : 80000501 $0200680504 NV_PRAMDAC_MPLL_COEFF : 00011303 $0200680574 NV_PRAMDAC_MPLL_COEFF_1 : 80000e03 $020068050c NV_PRAMDAC_PLL_COEFF_SELECT : 10000700 However, if I look into the device properties in Windows, it says it's located in PCI slot 3 (PCI BUS 1, device 5, function 0). Is that how it's supposed to be? Or it should be really seeing it's an AGP slot? Anyway, I've run SpecViewperf 8.1 again, and there's really a huge performance improvement, but I can just judge visually, since I always get a lock-up in the last test, the UGS test, and the machine reboots after that. I'll keep trying with other drivers (currently using 67.22), but any ideas will be more than welcome, since I feel I'm getting sooooo close. Thanks for the help!
my device manager also reports that card is in PCI bus 1. you can run individual specviewperf tests from program files\SpeCopc\Specviewperf8.1\ and start: Run_3dsmax.bat, Run_light.bat, etc..... good news is that I installed windows xp x64 yesterday and Quadro is fully working without any patch scripts...just using nvstrap driver in RivaTuner 15.7. one more thing to keep you going oh...and my UGS are around 16 in specviewperf 8.1
Ok, thak you all for all the feedback... I haven't been able to solve it yet, though. But the weird thing is the following. Yesterday I got myself another Fx5700 (mine was fx5700LE) from a friend, to see if I could do the hardmod on this one... Well, luckily, this one had the three resistors placed where all tutorials show they should be, so I just removed the first two and left the third one in its place. Well, the results are the same I was experiencing with my 5700LE, and Rivatuner shows: $0100000001 Hardwired ID : 0347 (ROM strapped to 034e) just like it did with my 5700LE with all resistors taken out. So, if I didn't get it wrong, doing the hardmod should give the following line under Rivatuner, isn't it? $0100000001 Hardwired ID : 034e (ROM strapped to 034e) Then, can anyone explain why am I still getting 0347? Hope that makes some sense... Thanks for your help, guys.
Ok, now I've seen another weird behaviour... If I reboot my computer, the hardwired ID shown in Rivatuner sometimes changes... Now I'm getting either 0340 or 0347, but still no 034e. Any ideas? Thx!
