I flashed with the downsampling bios and my 120 frame 1080 resolution worked.

Out of curiosity how do I downsample exactly? I want to retain the 120 frames if possible.

JouMxyzptlk - 4K HD, Ultra HD, 6K HD HighRes game videos and panoramas then in the upper right "HowTo".

You cannot downsample 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 with 120 Hz resolution because the pixel clock cannot go that high. But it may work with 2880x1620 or 2560x1440 120 Hz, with or without the pixel clock BIOS hack is something you may have to try, I don't have a 120 Hz screen here.

I can see where you got confused. In my previous post I asked about downsampling but this last post is something different,

Before the bios upgrade I was running 1080p @ 120 frames per second but after the bios upgrade I cannot run that resolution @ 120. Now I can only go up to 60 frames.

That is a shame since FPS games play much better at 120 frames. So now I have to decide to either go stock firmware and run at 120 frames or keep this sexy bios but cap my frames @ 60

Either way Great Job on the bios and I will not only donate for beers but I want to gift you some games on steam. So SVL7 send me a PM with your steam account!

I used the non downsample bios from here but now I cannot run my resolution at 1080 @ 120 frames. I was able to do it on stock without issues on my Seiki 50" 4K monitor. ( Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300) - [H]ard|Forum )

I am able to do 1080 @ 60 and 4k@30 but 90% of the time I use 1080 @ 120 for gaming.

Has anybody else seen this?

Try the DOS version again, use Freedos to create a bootdisk or bootabke USB stick for you.

The reason is simple: Flashing under a multitasking environment is dangerous, I killed my Nvidia 7950GX2 that way. It may work 100 times, and it won't the 101'th time.

With DOS nvflash it is impossible to have any multitasking program interfere, by design.

Thanks for the reply but I already used win nvflash to flash the cards.

I just boooted into them so I have not messed with any tests yet. Two titans flashed and the third one is arriving tomorrow

SVL7 private message me with your Steam account. I want to gift you some games

So I tried booting into dos mode by using StamatisX's guide. Once inside I tried using nvflash but it gave me a no dpmi error.

I also found this:

Have you guys used that software? If not or do not recommend it have you see the no dpmi error before?

EDIT: I got the windows version of nvflash and used the command prompt to flash my first card.

Hehe... that's a nice way to cherry pick a CPU indeed... that's almost impossible here... so I am stuck at 4.4GHz as my daily driver...

Trust me I know how you feel! I used to spend most my time near the Polytehnio trying to find good prices on computer parts and having to deal with near impossible return policies.

Luckily now I live in the states and you can literally get anything if you complain enough..... Yep that is the American way lol.

Greetings from Athens @oni222, glad you joined T|I. What's your voltage and what cooling did you use for that frequency? Btw how did you manage to cycle through so many CPUs to find a good one? I am really tempted to sell mine but what's holding me back is the thought of getting a worse OCer than that...

I used to live in Palio Faliro but now I live in Florida. I used Amazon to return "Bin" the cpu's with free overnight shipping, I love Amazon!

My cpu is delided with Cool laboratory liquid meltal. My case is a corsair 900D and has more fans than Justin Bieber

I used the corsair H100i for cpu cooling until I get a proper custom loop setup. I have my exact build in another forum but I am not sure if I can post their link as my sig, so I won't try it

I can hit 5ghz but it will not survive a 24 hour stress test so it is not a true OC. 4.9ghz is my cap, for a true over clock that can run for week without a BSOD.

I would edit my last thread to add this but since it is still pending to be approved I will have to put it here.

My Seiki 50" can do true 120 frames like a monitor at 1080 resolution. For more info check out these two urls:

After I registered (any payed to Techinferno, not a good method) and got the svl7 SC-Bios and checked: It changes the clock speed of the pixel chip, ups it by 60% to 70% (power state dependend).

It makes it easier to get to Ultra HD downsample to 1920x1080 with 60 Hz, but it is also possible without pixel chip overclocking.

As for your thing: If your monitor cannot do Ultra HD with 60 Hz, you won't get past the HDMI 1.4 limitation, In fact: HDMI 2.0 does not force a higher data rate on the cable, it allows cheating by lowering the color information detail to make that data still fit into the maximum data rate which is used by HDMI 1.4.

Only DisplayPort allows "true" Ultra HD with 60 Hz.

I replicated the pixel chip overclock settings settings to my EVGA GTX Titan SC, and it worked, but with side effects:

1: It causes a green screen with "Windows reseted the nvidia driver" from time to time since not all display chips like that overclocking.

2: MANY of my other resolutions didn't work any more, and I am up to 6K with the default 540MHz / 648 MHz on the pixel chip.

3: The svl7 timings for other overclocking setting are way to aggressive when being replicated to the EVGA GTX Titan SC, so I had to tame them a bit to stay stable, and I didn't kill the power management. it may have worked with HIS hard, but not with mine.

4: When trying less aggressive timings on the pixel clock to avoid the green screen problem I noticed that my other downsample resolutions were even more out of whack.

As for Ultra HD with 60 Hz: Check my homepage, section "HowTo". I made all my timings public quite a while ago, allowing me to do Ultra HD with 60 Hz as downsample over HDMI 1.4, and 3840x2400 with 60 Hz downsample to 1920x1200 over HDMI too. Maybe these work for your card too, without the need to hack around the BIOS.

Thanks for the informative reply. Where exactly is the link to your HowTo?

So from what I have gathered I cannot downsample a high resolution to 1080/120 it needs to be 1080/60 correct?

WoW they are all so fugly!

I guess the stock is the only good looking air cooler.

PS: I did see somebody who modded their stock air cooler on a Titan and had added a water cooling block inside.

I think that is by far the best looking/performing alternative

I do not have rights to see that attatchement but it is my understanding that if you have say 3 cards in SLI then your motherboard will run it at 8x. At least my Maximus VI Extreme definitely does that.

Hope that helps.

What exactly does the down sampling bios do?

Does it make a 4k resolution scale down to say 1080? I have a Seiki 50" 4k screen that can do 4k @ 30 frames so it would be very nice if I could run it at 1080/120 frames mode but the card down down sampling to 4k so in essence I get to remove the 30 frames hdmi 1.4 limitation.

I can confirm, I have purchased two Maximus VI extreme boards and they do not have it.

The top I get get my haswell is 4.9ghz but I had to go through 8 cpu's to find one that clocks decently.

PS: Greek power! It is always nice to find a fellow Greek.

Hi everybody!

I have been on NBR for a while and I found out that allot of the members there are also here. So I thought I pop in and check this place out.

Little did I know that svl7's work on the titan bios was huge! So now I am pretty much trolling that thread
