I have to disagree here, if it wasnt raising voltage, why would the test get farther each time I bumped it until it passed at 1.275v and then I could run it repeatedly without crashing?

Afterburner works (at least the extreme version)

are you using afterburner extreme?

also 1.1v is too low...you sure you measurin at the right spot?

Honda yes the card has build in voltage reading spots...

They read vgpu: 1.16v and Vmem: 1.62v

I tried TPU GPU tool and Afterburner 1.5.0 you can raise volts till 1.35v on Afterburner but does nothing to real volts.

TPU GPU tool says "this card is not compatible with volt increase".

so you did try AB extreme? It was settings volts fine for me. I love the slide in DMM probe holders :)

Pretty sure k|ng used it to break the 03 record the other day (using 10.3a drivers)

Did you measure with DMM? Use the leads provided with the card.

Voltages where the same with 1.16 or 1.35...

Sick I didnt even know those were in the package!!

AB definitely confirmed working here, acutally reads higher than what you set in AB by .03v

Extreme?!

I will test Extreme ver. now and report back I was using regular AB 1.50 lol

No changes what so ever and the card was doing ok even then lol

Dentlord 03-17-2010 09:07 AM

Wow, 1.275v set in AB, under load in Vantage, 1.315v actual!

Splave 03-17-2010 09:24 AM

bangin lol guess the reason they clock better it they add .05v ;)

Dent did it bounce around alot? more than .005 or so?

Jor-El 03-17-2010 09:25 AM

Confirmed: my card does not scale voltages with software (AB/ABE) tried both. Guess I received a FUBAR card then.

There you go: 1.42vgpu on ABE and volts still the same on screen and dmm: solid 1.125...

Can anyone confirm their BIOS version (same or different then mine):
