RBE v1.27 released!

[DigitalUK]

Have another quite strage behaviour...

If I play eg. mkv files my card goes in UVD Mode with 500/1375 -> OK
But when I stopped the playback the card did not return to 2D clocks...

Anybody has the same? Driver problems again?

thats completely normal

sorry just realized what you wrote (did not return to normal 2d clocks thats not normal)

Thanks but i've 1065 on VID4 and 1100 on VID3 with my 6950 unlocked shaders bios (i want to keep RAM timing/voltage)... Which One is For 3D ?

Me too... my 6950 3D voltage of 1.1v is also in Vid 3. I haven't touched a single thing.
This is the ORIGINAL 6950 bios which i opened in RBE just to check.
I too have 1.065v in Vid4 which does not correspond with 3D voltage of 1.1v

Again, this is untouched original bios.

cheers

 

[Falkentyne]

Change vid 3, then. Then see if you gain any more mhz. You can always either change it back or just reflash a backup bios...

I want to change voltage and GPU clocks through bios edit to my two 6870's. So It wil work to add 1.3 voltage and speeds of 1000 MHz to core - 1250 MHz to memory, on upper level (XFX Black Edition Bios)? So it's easy now to change the Vendor ID and flash it without issues?

Yes (and no) - Just yesterday I gone crazy and put 1300 mV on VID4 for my XFX6950@6970..

That gave me 1000/1500 !!! Set the Fan, just to be save, on loudly 80%...

3DMark11 without any problems: Incredible P6023

But hey - This is really nothing for a 24/7 Setup! Went back to save 950/1450 @ 1225 mV @ maxFan 60% (max only be reached in Furmark)

Any sugestion/help for my clock Problem:
After UVD (Unified Video Decoder) clocks (500/1375) my Card did not return to 2D Clocks (250/150) - Even wen I start 3D it remains in 500/1375 - Only reeboot helps at the moment....
On the other hand: 2D to 3D works fine and back works fine!
Looks like a 12a driver bug (Read also the same in an other forum)

How did you set your clocks ?

 

[DJManiac]

How did you set your clocks ?

With MSI Afterburner
http://downloads.guru3d.com/Afterburner-2.1.0-Beta-5-download-2604.html

...

To go over 950/1450 you have to go to MSI Afterburner Folder and Edit a File

MSI Afterburner.cfg

Find line: EnableUnofficialOverclocking

And set 0 to 1

But be informed that Powerplay clock settinges (2D / UVD / 3D) will be deactivated and you go with full 3D.... Or you chose to make Profiles in Afterburner.....

 

[vvulture]

Right... i can use Trixx. does same thing.

cheers

Anyone has tested Rbe 1.27 with just 6950 or 6950 with unlocked shaders ?

i have this problem since ein worked with ati drivers and an 5850 from asus.
i helped me like this: shortcut in win 7 (win+p) a small window appears, then choose
in this order: (extended -> double -> single)

may it helps you too.
its just a try.

good look

 

[tecnoworld]

one question: if I increase GPU voltage to 1.175v on my 6950, does memory voltage stay still or does it also increase proportionally?

 

[Mirmendis]

Probably stay still, the best way would be to go with a 6950 unlocked bios and up gpu voltage with rbe. So Ram timing/voltage doesn't change and we can push the gpu clock higher. But which vid is for 3d ? Vid3 or 4 ???

 

[tecnoworld]

it depends; if there is only one voltage generator, the two could be connected...

 

[Mirmendis]

Yeah but if the two are connected, Asus with smart doctor can damage the card too, strange ...

 

[tecnoworld]

true. but the idea came to me from this:

card GPU memory
6950 1.1 ---- 1.5
6970 1.175 -- 1.6

same proportion (both about 6,7% more for 6970)

 

[merlino]

i´m a little bit confused about the voltage register settings,
on my 6950@6970.

i´ve used the "just shader mod" and want to know on which position in rbe
register settings the voltage could be increased.
vid3 or vid4?

i tried both possibilities, i know that gpu-z shows just the previous settings (driver).
i´m not sure if the voltage (1,175) are active in 3D settings.

which programm shows me the real state?

(trixx, as, open hardware monitor - shows me 1.1V)

 

[Mirmendis]

Same question i want to keep my unlocked shader bios too.

 

[Martin von R]

Hi all
I have test 1.27 on my HD6870 voltset works well, but when I change MHZ 3D load, I can not read Regt win7 in, it stops
watching some other bios and found out that they overclcok bios had a bios seen more
sorry my english.

See my test here

no vtt set ? to HD6870

Anyone else tried taking MSI 6950 signature for 950/1400 CCC limits?
File is here http://www.badongo.com/file/24944640
Per thread is here http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=336386

I have tried going this direction.

1. dump my original bios
2. http://www.techpowerup.com/wizzard/Mod_BIOS_HD_6950.zip mod to full shaders
3. Use RBE extra signature of MSI 6950
4. Save signature to my mod bios.
5. Flash
6. Got to reinstall Catalyst
7. Boot...until Windows loading come up and PC fail to boot...did hard reset.

Any one else have time to test other direction...like using step 2 AFTER saving signature to original bios, then mod to 1536 shaders....any one has the time to do this test? TKY! and TKY Bagz for RBE 1.27!

 

[tecnoworld]

I think that RBE is not working for changing signature to 69xx, right now...

Thank for your try to help me...

But finally I solved for myself... Think there was a driver/Bios/CCC mismatch...

I now took for my XFX6950 the BIOS of ASUS6970 (and set 1225 mV in RBE1.27) with ASUS Drivers and CCC from Catalyst 12a (dont like the ASUS Logo )
Installed then MSI Afterburner for proper FAN curves...

And now PowerPlay/UVD Clocks are working properly! FINALLY!

 

[VinnieM]

I'm using the Asus 6950 unlocked shaders BIOS and have changed the 2D voltage to 850mv and so far it seems to work. It's idling now at 32C with the fan at 24% (lowest). Before it was probably just 1 or 2 degrees higher, but the lower the better

That is very good to know. Makes one of the most power efficient cards more so.

I will try tonight. Thanks.

 

[tecnoworld]

any report/confirmation/denial about voltage of the GPU and memory being connected?

 

[Charly]

Did several test to add voltage on my unlocked 6950 to 6970 (cfx) but it doesn't work.
With every 3d app. it hangs or resets the driver.
I did shut down the pc after a voltage flash and ofcourse flash both cards with winflash.

Also test with a 6950 bios ,but also the same.

I'm just waiting for msi ab. to work with crossfire.
