Its not about the framerate its about the freedom and speed of movement in the game which is greatly improved with the card downclocking the movement forward feels like something is pushing/ holding you back like some unseen force but when the card is at the clock speed it feels frictionless moving jumping about freely seamlessly free as a bird. If you are an overclocker you probably got interested in clocking because of games(but you will deny this is as the meme of the overclocker(they are too good for video games now but of course you want to overclock your computer to run superpi which has no application to your life and to clock microsoft excel and word so you can type faster or your getting rich off bitcoins or helping the scientists crack protein interaction because you care about science and not burning your computer up like a hotrod because doing burnouts at an intersection is cool(becuz iz goes fasteyr than u boah)..... lol))So why would anyone shorten the lifespan of their computer so they can essentially turn their pc into a drag racer?(not knocking overclocking i fully understand its importance just making a point here) Because it gives you a better understanding of the details and capability of the hardware to use it in an a more efficient way(at least money wise buying stock clocked parts can become very expensive). So knowing you are here I find it hard to understand your assertion that it will only make the fans run louder and waste electricity(green is a propaganda front anyway by oil companies to make money with carbon taxes; burning fossil fuels puts more co2 in the air for plants to breathe which increases life so I'm not worried about using electricity I'm worried my countries finanical infrastructure is being destroyed increasing energy prices via inflation and my home electric bill go up(but for now im just bearing the increased cost and using all the electricity I want so f em) and I shouldnt have to pay the extra cost because of intentional currency mismanagement to destroy my country's economy and the subsequent attack on energy resources the 2 main pillars to attack when breaking a country's infrastructure). Games and rendering are more than just framerate that is only one aspect that everyone focuses on and now that games are only going to see limited performance windows because of threading and the fact games are no longer single core endlessly scalable by mhz which was stopped by the 4ghz heat wall(crysis 1 most you can get is still like 60 fps and the hardware has improved allot in the last 6 years). There are many latencies: physics depending on if its cpu or gpu, windows tweaks(of which there are a great many and when you add them all up there is a significant difference) hardware tweaks(of which the bios is key switch out your intel storage rom and look at that) so everything adds up. I can tell the difference in game between different ram timings. Please if you are an overclocker or tweaker abandon the it doesnt matter cause you can't percieve the difference argument because you don't know the answer to the question because that line IS OVER or its digital it just works I love that one too like a better sata cable accomplishes nothing(wrong, wrong, wrong). Humans can percieve 100s of fps or more probably thousands or even millions. Every detail timing tweak every detail in the universe matters and any performance increase possible that produces results is universally verifiable in these modular universal standard computers we all use and should be desired by everyone. Any other viewpoint is just ridiculous brainwash rat maze cynicism(animals on earth are like rats where the walls of the rat maze are other electric rats that zap you to make you conform because they dont like you shaking up the heirarchy and making them look bad; to free yourself of the trap become immune to zaps and spread your own influence free of the zaps and the maze). Or to some it up this way: If yer an overclocker, don't tell me I dont need more mhz, boah; That's heresy.

Trust me everyone playing crysis 3 on multiplayer want a bios where the card doesnt downclock when the graphics are set to low. You have to play it this way in multi if you want to play competitively like you want to win(really all multi games when the win is on the line you play them on low and with most older games that are still played competitively on low the graphics are considered too low by the bios and will always downclock this is as major flaw of nvidia boost they should allow you to turn it off completely if you wish to... you seem closest to figuring it out but maybe you only care about overclocking bench tests, and not games, which are always run at high level graphics unless your running some old 3dmark or something). The run and movement speed are greatly enhanced otherwise you feel liike your trying to fight your way out of lag wet paper bag with graphics on high(maybe not 4 generations from now but by then well be playing some other game i mean I do have gtx 780s afterall). Sometimes the card will stay at the higher clock frequency but only briefly and when its at the clocked speed the game really does feel good. I think I get higher performance with crysis 3 on low on my old bios but every other game with a bios that doesnt downclock because im playing it on high graphics(because they are not multiplayer deathmatch competitive games) like borderlands 2 or farcry 3 dragon blood this bios is better. Im thinking the reason why people are getting lower memory performance is somewhere in your bios the timings on the ram are tighter and their stock bios have a looser timings. Could be many factors, but the ram timings have to be set somewhere in there its just no one has figured out how to get at those registers yet or which ones they are. I see many innovators at the moment that have parts of the graphics tweaking picture but no one is pulling them all into play. We very badly need a replacement for nibitor that can read bios from newer windows flash bios from newer windows all integrated into one app(anatolymik over at techpowerup with hypersli is also a nice development this guy even beats nvidias attempts to stop him from circumventing sli licenses which is truly impressive). Ram timings OC profiles and curves..... the works all tweakable and testable in the operating system before flashing. All in one easy to understand and tweak application. Its too bad we dont have ram timing tweakability on older cards really did improve the latency on them allot. Infact I found tighter timings and not more mhz is what gave me better gaming performance because in a game at a certain point its not about higher frames its about lower latency or buying a new card.

For some reason this bios still downclocks on crysis 3 when on low everything 720p which is how you have to play it if you want to play multi competitively. Everything on high or other games it stays pegged at the clock. If the default is 340W how come I cant see that in nvidia inspector? Regardless ty for the bios and I think its the best one I've seen yet but still needs some work and there is room for improvement(anyone ever figure out how to get at ram timings in bios? since makve and mkvtech are no longer on net and nibitor never had ram timings on kepler). Not to knock you tho this is the first time I've seen Boost 2.0 removed. TY and keep up good work.
