svl7

What's weird is, before Prema v5 and the new 970M vbios, I got 16k+ Physics score in 3DMark. Now I can't get 16k anymore, I can only get close to it.

I blame @Prema

Nah, seriously, you should check your power draw, do you have a kill-a-watt meter or something similar? What kind of PSU do you use?

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.

Oh very sorry, I have an Alienware M17x R4 with 3940XM and GTX970M.. Apologies, I don't have my specs in signature.. Will add it in now..

Uhm, switch to SG, boot with Intel HD and then flash.

I don't even know what kind of system you use...

Depends, I think you will only be able to flash if you allow legacy option roms to be loaded at boot.

as far as i know, there was never an optical drive for ultrabay, just gpu and bluray

And what kind of technology is bluray? Punchcard?

I'm asking cause that MSR is disabled for any non-unlocked SB CPU and can't be enabled in this case. Sorry.

i've been told that svl7 has an AW17 so i am hoping they will shed some light on their experiences as of late when it comes to managing performance and throttling.

As soon as I get my motherboard replaced.

Read my previous post. I can't work without meaningful data.

Which CPU do you use?

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..

"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.

you are the best! by the way.. are you sure it is 3dmark 11? because i already got the 1.3k graphic score from 3d mark 11 test... not even flashing bios yet.

may be you mean the Fire Strike?

That was just a guideline for people to see whether the card is performing as it should. The vbios is not overclocked by default since every system and card can behave differently.

I've seen people posting benchmarks with a 980m having 10k GPU score in 3dM11 and wondering whether everything's okay - well, in that case it's not. That's why I put those numbers there, for people who aren't that familiar with how it should perform and don't know what they can expect.

With overclocking you can get 16k+ GPU score in 3dM11 with the 980m and 14k+ with the 970m.

No, I mean 3dMark11. There's no 3dMark13 anyways

Right, I'll add 3gb and 4gb versions when I get the chance. Also an Asus version. Should be up during the next couple of days.

- even more reserverd -

As guideline:

With the 970m mod you can expect about 10.1k GPU score in 3dM11 when running the modified vbios at stock, and about 13.5k for the 980m.

I am also having the same issue with my GT60-16F3. I am using a clevo 970m , and is detected by windows (needs modified inf drivers though) but how come it cannot be detected under nvflash with the latest version?

Cause 5.127 is nowhere close to being the latest version of nvflash.

Can you send me a copy of the vbios?

Nothing to do with the CPU, it's the memory of the GPU. Can you check what kind of memory chips are on that card?

Home+Ctrl doesn't require an Asus partition.

Keep Home+Ctrl pressed and then power on, wait. Did you already try that?

If so you might have to provide the recovery file per USB drive.

First of all you might should check whether the GDDR5 modules on your board do actually support ECC.

There's a setting in the firmware that enables or disables ECC by default, but that is useless if support isn't there in the first place.

You're trying to push the frequency 400MHz above the default clocks and seriously wonder why you're having issues?

Loss of performance is a relative thing, you're talking about a very specific task, or rather benchmark. Keep in mind that for other CPU benchmarks Win7 performs worse than XP, while for others Win7 is faster. Generally Win 8 and 8.1 is a superior OS to Win7 in many ways.

As for the legacy issue - I'm looking into this. Currently having trouble with my AW17 though and I have no clue what the cause is, really frustrating.
