EVGA CLASSIFIED GTX 980 XXXBIOSXXX + TOOLS

[BlueSaber80]

So I found a Bios that will feed my 980ti Kingpin 1.28 volts to keep from over voltage and stop the downclocking

But your performance likely to be worse than with XOC BIOS posted in the guide.... you already knew that though.

@ cerealkeller:

0.25 Volt? YEah i found out pretty quick something wasnt right. The first time i wanted to put it to 1,30 volt and i instantly had 120% Power and temp raised from 40 o 70 C...i put it at default again as fast as possible...Later i watched the Power % when using it and found out i had to be between 1.00 V and 1,10 Volt...So i put it to over 1,5 Volt for as an accident--pretty scary...but a few seconds didnt harm it i guess..

I think he meant 0.025 )
As soon as you have thermal protection on, card still likely to be ok after such mistakes. It's when you have all protections removed bad stuff happens.

no, 0.25 fits right about what i was experiencing..if i typed 1.05 Volts into the controller, the % Power and Temp was already higher than the default value.

So if GPU-Z just didnt show the right voltage, the higher temps shown were actually right and the card WAS running on higher voltage...and also Precision X and K-Boost worked and gave me about 1,3 Volts? So why the fuq cant i get only 5% higher clock? If not 24/7, why not even for benchmarks like valley? Hoe can it crash at 1550 mhz, no matter what voltage? Sickening.

using both EVbot and classy controller i only see about .025v +/- .005v difference between the number i set and what is actually applied, my actual voltage being higher then what i set. so for example if i input 1.2v i actually see about 1.225-ish.

EDIT: should note, this is with a 980ti.

[mannitu78]

for a 980 classy its definetly more 0.25 than 0.025 V.


edit: Just confirmed that Precision X shows about the right voltage, +0,25 Volt is very reasonable even if you say software isnt supposed to show it right, i can see temps and Power % raising and it seems to make sense....so once again, why cant i achieve only 25mhz more Clock Speed in a benchmark after raising Voltage from 1,21 to 1,3 or 1,35? Temps never go higher than 60-ish, even with overvoltage and i put the Power Target on max. There must be another kind of protection mechanism which doesnt allow the card really to take advantage of the voltage.

I mean, why does Precision X even give the opportunity to fuqing "OverBOOST" 1,3 Volt, they can take their Boost and put it in their AXX.

Can it be the driver thats blocking me?
