rivatuner question

i'm not in a hurry to try this, i want to do it the right way anyway another question, the values i get in NiBiToR now are :
2D-1.1v
Throttle-1.2v
3d-1.4v

what should i change the value of "2D" to?? as i stated somewhere, i don't think the heat is an issue, i got the chip watercooled.

 

ok just did it. now in VID it shows 1.4 instead of 1.2 (before). i know i'm asking too many questions, but just a last one now that i changed this, i suppose i changed the "performance" voltage, right? in windows the voltage is still lower right? because i don't think it would be very healthy for my card to be constantly @ 1.4v, both gaming and windows environment (my pc is on 24/7 , with about 5% of this time gaming) thanks

edit: forget about this question, from the temps i'm getting, it sure is in 2D mode when in windows and performance when benching

 

with me it stays on 1.2v all the time...

 

so, you're saying that the voltage is always the same??but then, why do the temps go up when 3D mode is on?

 

because i don't know where the measure point is. but forget it, after a little searching in XS forums i found a couple guys who measured it and both stated "there are no 2D/3D speeds, the voltage is the same in both modes"
sorry for asking too many (pointless) questions

 

Could u pls write the result??? The only way how to increase OC possibilities is changing Throttle??? Or should i also increase 2d, 3d values????? THX

 

you have an NU right?then u have to increase the one that shows 1.2v, and it probably is Throttle. don't need to modify anything else.

 

Hi, thanks for posting this Unwinder.
I made NiBiTor like an automation from these BIOS modding guides, so you dont have to do everything by hand. How should anybody see all these guides are wrong, considering they worked with so much success?

I would have measured it myself if i had an nv40, but i dont so i have to rely on user feedback, are you sure all nv40 use constant voltage? Maybe that changed with forceware release?
Because when the first nv40 came out i had an user measuring the voltages and he stated it was ~1.1v at boot up, ~1.3 in windows and ~1.4v in 3d mode.

alzheimer10, from how it stands now you just should set all the voltages to the same level, this will force your card to have the voltage.

 

Well, xtremetheme, I think NiBiTor is great. I've used it to change clock speeds. But I'm not changing any core volts until I know what's what.

Keep up the good work!

 

first i changed values to 1.5, 1.4, 1.1 3d,th,2d and it was stable on 400/900 mhz. Than i changed it(due to ztremetheme post) to 1.4, 1.4, 1.4 and 3d mark 2003 freez in rag troll test on 390/900. I flashed it again with previous values 1.5, 1.4, 1.1 and im stable. btw 3dmark2003 score is 11577 anyway, great job unwinder

 

pardon my ignorance, but could someone please confirm that there is no point in changing the v-core voltage on my card?

it's an asus v9999gt 128mb.

i carried out the volt-mod, from 1.2v to 1.4v and this is the table from the bios as it stands -

$1100000000 Title : ASUS V9999GT VGA BIOS Version 5...
$1100000002 Version : 5.40.02.15
$1100000001 BMP version : 5.28
$1100000100 BIT version : 1.00
$1100010000 Perf. level 0 : 350MHz/350MHz/1.20V
$1100020000 VID bitmask : 00000011b
$1100020100 Voltage level 0 : 1.10V, VID 00000000b
$1100020101 Voltage level 1 : 1.40V, VID 00000010b
$1100020102 Voltage level 2 : 1.40V, VID 00000010b
$1100000003 SW masked units : none

am i right in thinking that this line 'Perf. level 0 : 350MHz/350MHz/1.20V' represents the way it's always going to operate, regardless of what the voltage level 0,1 and 2 display? i find it odd that they do not correlate.

i thought that it switched from the 1.1v used in windows, to the higher voltage when using fullscreen 3d applications, but i'm confused after reading this thread. there is no 'throttling' voltage on this card as it's greyed out in omniextreme and nibitor.

if it's always going to run at 1.2v anyway, then setting a 1.4v value in the bios seems pointless and i may aswell revert back to the default bios as the volt-mod did not increase my overclock ceiling at all. i know many people have had positive results from the volt mod, but perhaps this card differs from 256mb gt's in more ways than just memory configuration?

sorry if i've missed something in this thread which explains my dilemma, i'm struggling to gather the info to get my head around what's going on here with the variety of cards and bioses available.

thanks in advance...



/edit - i forgot to mention that the v-core voltage, as measured by asus smartdoctor, was/is reported at 1.35v both before and after i did the bios volt mod. there is no way of telling what's happening with volts and temps when running in fullscreen as smartdoctor is incapable of charting sensor reports.

 

But when you have 1.1/1.4/1.4 the closest to 1.2 would be the 1.1 option or´? Is the driver instructed to not take a voltage smaller then the target voltage when searching for target voltage?

Btw. i now released a 1.7 version without the static 2d/lowpower/3D concept which gives the user more freedom/responsibility in editing voltages.
Also the voltage tags are not altered anymore, only their VIDs.
