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)

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...

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):
