Robbo Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 it seems that I've hit the limit for my 970m 175 = Core clock600 = Mem clockI wont touch the Power limit yet (default settings) unless you guys know the safe limits to move the slider for this one.970M hardly draws any power, so probably safe to increase power slider dramatically, although the 970M does seem to have one less inductor than the 980M - does that mean that the 970M will have a limited power supply capability, not sure it's related to power supply, any ideas anyone? If that is the case, then maybe it won't be able to process safely quite as many Watts as the 980M - just a theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega939 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 This is strange when playing dirt3 (although this game is a bit old) with same core and mem speeds.. The stock vbios (clevo)..fraps reaches 100 fps and up. With vmodded bios fraps reaches 40-50 fps only.. I don't know what's unlock with the modded vbios...

godfafa Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 In m17x R4 and m18x R2, mod-vbios even worsen the gpu core throttle with 344.xx driver.But works very nicely with 347.xx.Anyone got them work in old alienware like 17R4 or 18R2?

(Ensure that game is actually being run on NVidia dedicated GPU and not on the Intel GPU). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnz1201 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 P370EM 980M with 344.65 failed to flash I disabled my GPU. I think maybe the reason is editing driver? I can OC up to 135MHz now. Could you please check this for me? I'll try to do this again in driver signature disabled mode Update: Still error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ensure that game is actually being run on NVidia dedicated GPU and not on the Intel GPU).The game is definitely running with 970m at ultra settings. if it where to run on intel gpu then the game is not playable at ultra settings and will only run between 1 - 5fps. With the stock vbios (clevo) the fps is high, running between 100fps and up. With the vmodded vbios the fps runs at 40 - 50 fps only both run at the same core and mem frequency and at ultra settings.

To some extent it doesn't matter what you set the clocks to, if the GPU is not running those clocks during gaming then you're not gonna get the performance. Measure the actual clocks being used during gaming & what the GPU usage is - this will give you some indication as to what's going on.

godfafa Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4790K,Notebook P750ZMWorks great on clevo.Not that well on old alienwares. m17x R4, m18x R2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock vbios (clevo)..fraps reaches 100 fps and up. With vmodded bios fraps reaches 40-50 fps only.."It doesn't work" is no information I could work with, at all. At least let me see some graphs of nvidia inspector, including power levels. You need to provide information that is actually meaningful. I can't test all systems, it seems to work perfectly fine in the M15x and the P570WM, single and dual card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfafa Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 @svl7In m17x R4 and m18x R2, the gpu clock throttles down to 200~500.Tried to give more power (up to 140%) without(=1.0v) or with voltage (=1.1v), but no work.Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasuke256 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 In order to make things easier for svl7, I recommend running 3dMark Firestrike and give a screenshot of Nvidia Inspector sensors and to do the same while running Furmark (to force the card to the limits).This should be done @stock + OC.

Gress10 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 So is this vBios good to install on a Clevo P650SE with the 3GB GTX 970m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJGX Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Svl7, I should have no problems flashing this on my Clevo 970M vBIOS version 84.04.22.00.11 right? I'm currently in Optimus mode so if I disable the 970M and follow the steps you said, I will be able to flash it right? Sorry if noob question, I have never flashed a NVIDIA GPU before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Depends, I think you will only be able to flash if you allow legacy option roms to be loaded at boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJGX Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Depends, I think you will only be able to flash if you allow legacy option roms to be loaded at boot.That's a problem as 970M won't boot without full UEFI.. Is there no way to flash vBIOS in UEFI mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegh0sts Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 i am assuming that these are not the fully unlocked vBIOS yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJGX Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Uhm, switch to SG, boot with Intel HD and then flash.I don't have unlocked BIOS.. I'm currently in Optimus mode so I should be booting from the Intel iGPU right? I will disable the 970M and enabled Legacy and flash.. Mikecacho who upgraded the R4 with the 980M is saying that this should be fine and he has done so... Am probing him more about this.. Also godfakr, what throttling is occuring in the R4? Could you be more clear about it? I've had 0 thorttling while Ocing the 970M in the R4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 You'll quickly see whether it works or not. If it beeps at POST or if you can't flash from within windows then you have to try something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
