svl7 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Dont forget my 7821 at 980/2250. Hahaha, no, I don't Great scores, all of you! Then I felt lucky and did a "Ghz-Edition" run (1006/2250, +250/+450 in AB): Compared to the UV clevo vbios, this one resulted in ~250 3dmark points more at the same clocks! GPU points changed +500, but this is also related to my new texture filtering tweak I love this new vbios, it prooved to me that my 680M is not underperforming (what I have been afraid of). Also I'm glad my X7200 can cool the 680M properly as it's not officially supported and I have to use a 580M heatsink. Awesome, stable at1GHz for 3dM11 at this voltage... Wow. This is amazing. I am so happy that I can almost break the 8k barrier with the Dell 680m. I couldn't even come close to break the 7k barrier before. Thank you so much slv7!!! I will buy you a beer when I get back from the gym EDIT: Your link to donate does not work. Cheers! ... and fixed I would like to test a modified version of the new vbios for the P1XXHM series , but i most likely wont get to it till mid December since most of my Engineering Senior Projects is on this comp .. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbelibbe Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm sorry, but i could not find anything in the thread. Is there a Vbios mod for the MSI Ge60, GT650..? SVL7 you wrote earlier something about needing to upload it?Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfmaju Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 this is superb! tested with m18x r2 with clevo cards in sli configuration. oc potential is very good. windows 8 fastboot and uefi secure boot also work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 windows 8 fastboot and uefi secure boot also work!That's impossible. Secure boot can't work, unless your bios allows secure boot with legacy stuff enabled, which makes absolutely no sense. For true secure boot you'd need an uefi compatible vbios, the Clevo vbios contains such an image, but it's not modified. So unless the legacy stuff gets loaded, you won't notice anything of the mod.

krazeaznboy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 @svl7 Now your donate link is messing from your first post of this thread. LOL. So far no throttling on the Dell 680m, I'm amazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(older clevo vbios cant. its say mxm not bla bla bla) but this new clevo vbios works. that's because of your great work for making the vbios compatible with uefi. im using m18x r2 with a08 bios (this bios support uefi, secure boot and windows 8 fast boot, and Im using windows 8 pro. first I disable secure boot, setup the uefi boot then theres only show alienware text when boot after it boot, I restart and enable secure boot then everything work fine. but actually I don't know what is the secure boot for.. hahaha but I just make it enable. from total shutdown to windows login screen just about 5 - 7 seconds (ssd). sorry for my bad English.

svl7 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 I didn't make the vbios compatible with uefi, the latest Clevo vbios simply has the uefi drivers included, whereas the Dell vbios hasn't. All I did is modifying the legacy vbios, which shouldn't get loaded with uefi boot / secure boot. You can easily check this... what's the maximum overclock you can set per software?

svl7 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 *******Clevo 680m 'OCedition revised 01' added to the second post. Includes a little fix, clocks should now be reported properly (unless you use any of the latest Nvidia beta drivers, then it will be of by like 13MHz).**core up to 1050/mem 2450 half stable but just for 3dmark11 and some games. but superb stable for all games core 941/mem 2450 (tested with 4 hours+ crysis2, hitman, and bla bla bla).. Thanks again for your hard works!..Interesting... if you really have secure boot and uefi boot enabled as you say, then the Dell BIOS is not working properly. Well, doesn't make a difference for you anyway, so... enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Maroto Madrid Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 @svl7 Hi, I'm having "problems" with your latest vbios for Dell 680M, I'm realizing that my gpus in some games don't use the highest core clocks I had set on MSI AB, but it uses the memory clocks. I'm using latest beta drivers 310.61 For example: @ Counter Strike Global Offensive I have set fps_max 130 fps and the gpu just uses 500Mhz core clock or so... Could anyone help me? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could anyone help me? thank you I Think that is becase the GPU only uses as much juice as it needs. CounterStrike isnt a really demanding game. I can play borderlands 2 and the gpu runs Cold and quiet, but cryengine games it blasts away at high rpm and temps at 75+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonrac Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 +1 There is a driver parameter called adaptative performance that play with the frequencies of the card in function of the gpu usage.If you want to use your gpu to the max, you must make a game profile and put this parameter on max performance. BTW this functionality is great because it allow to play to low demanding games without having the fan to the max, "cold and quiet" like MrValle said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeLord84 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 New personal best: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2920XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 score: P13264 3DMarks This is all done on stock cooling, if I had an external A/C available I'm positive I could break 16k graphics.These scores are crazy.. I ended up defaulting my Clevo VBIOS cause I'm worried about my cards a little, plus I can't seem to get drivers to function properly with the new VBIOS - sometimes getting crashes or "Driver Failure" windows..Any suggestions?

I'd suggest trying the new vbios (its much better than the default shipping one) and then moving your clocks up in small increments. Use 3dmark 11 to test for stability.

I had the Clevo 680m - 80.04.33.00.10 - 915MHz - 0962V - OC.zip when I did all of this. This is the one you are suggesting: Clevo 680m - 80.04.33.00.10 'OCedition' revised_01.zip ? It's stock clocks with OC enabled apparently? Thanks a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesyndal Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 @svl7: For some reason, none of the Clevo vBIOS here can get my performance higher than 7821 on 3dmark (this is when set to run at 980/2250 and 980/2300). I can use the one provided from the safe overclock thread to get 7800+, so what would be the big difference in their setup beside one being based on MSI setup? (Mine's the Clevo 4GB GTX 680M)Using the revised edition, I get 7210. On the defaulted 915, 7350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaw98 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hello,I understand that there are edited versions of the bios files, but does anybody know how to download the bios from the cards and edit it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Mine's the Clevo 4GB GTX 680M)Using the revised edition, I get 7210. On the defaulted 915, 7350.The vbios is based on the msi fd vbios so that's why you don't see a big difference. For sli users it's a huge difference because it nearly eliminates throttling. However @svl7 has made other improvements that make it worthwhile to upgrade to the latest vbios.Sent from my GT-N7000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs at stock voltage and is therefor cooler, also I noticed better performance in some games. For me both perform the same in 3dM11, but I can only test it on my system of course.

Wei Lu Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The newest DELL bios works great in 17R3. I can software overlock to 1006/1125 and in 3D11 i got 76XX and GPU score is 81XX. svl7 you are amazing! Thank you very much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
