littleone562 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hey svl7 would the software unlocked edition work on the m18x that has no boost enabled bios yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian540 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 will definitely test the 680m MSI OC edition.. have it on order should be here next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widezu69 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Some more Dell 680m mods, @widezu69 and all other user who flash them -> please provide some feedback, I need to know how well they work, can't test them myself. Let me know what you flashed and how well it worked. Thanks. The first one ('OCedition') should have higher software overclocking limits. The second one (OCedition_OV) includes also a slight voltage increase. And the last one has default 3d clock of 900 and a higher voltage. This is good, the OCedition vbios allows OC on bios A02. A10 was a bit weird in that it was too aggressive with GPU boost causing throttling etc. Now, using a method I have yet to finalise, I can run constant clocks without any problem whatsoever. All the vbioses work well. I'll request one with specific clocks after I do some more testing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

widezu69 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Woah sorry yeah mind fuck A05 on the R4 I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Interesting... the OCedition allows to overclock on A02? Cool - - - Updated - - - Hey svl7 would the software unlocked edition work on the m18x that has no boost enabled bios yet? Well, seems so, at least the one I posted yesterday seems to work in the R4 on BIOS A02 according to widezu... so might be worth giving it a try.

widezu69 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Actually, I lie. I saw the sliders and moving them and applying them sticks and but in actual fact, the clock speeds don't budge but I do have a work around which also disables GPU Boost by default which in my eyes is a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widezu69 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 And I lie again, still throttling on A02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Lol, alright, makes more sense... I would've been really confused if it activated software overclocking on A05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhmonroy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Can you post a dump of your vbios?Yeah, Saltius did some nice work there.Hi svl7, this is the (I think) Clevo 4GB 680m vBios, that says its vendor is dell (1028) when installed in an Alienware m17xR3680m CLEVO 4GB-vendor 1028.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 That's the vbios which can be found on Clevo cards, and the subvendor ID is actually Nvidia. GPU-Z reads Dell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleone562 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hey svl is that bios by any chance this bios - http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7813/3dmark2011gtx680m854125.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widezu69 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I get around that score no matter how hard I push my GPU. It just throttles. Maybe it's the card? Maybe it's the bios. I would love to borrow a MSI card to test to rule out some possibilities. Anyone got one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPU-Z reads Dell?Svl7, not only Gpuz reads Dell, but it is in the information it passes to the sistem id; when I edited the drivers for making it work, I had to change 1558 (clevo) to Dell (1028), very strange indeed ...

mrm2x Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 so, i finally decided to join this conversation^^@widezu69: when you talk about throttling you mean erratic changes of the gpu core-clock while running furmark/3dmark11 etc. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widezu69 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yeah that's right. At stock clocks, all is good, any change in clocks at whatever voltage, things will go from eg 854Mhz to something like 221Mhz up and down etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm2x Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 i got the same on my 680M, althought voltage/temperature is everything but critical.kinda sad since this card has massive potential... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's getting this information somewhere else, maybe from the sbios, no idea, kinda weird.Hey svl is that bios by any chance this bios - http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7813/3dmark2011gtx680m854125.jpgYes, it's exactly this vbios (well, except for the subvendor ID... but apparently there's something weird going on with that anyway.)

HrKristian Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I'm also here from the ASUS ROG forum wondering about your vbios...For some reason neither nvflash or GPU-Z lets me dump the bios, well, nvflash reports a driver problem, and GPU-Z tells me nothing.I'm using the stock nvidia drivers instead of ASUS', that might be it, but I did post a screencap of GPU-Z for what that's worth here:http://rog.asus.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10434&stc=1&d=1343259880If you want/if it's needed, I'll reinstall the old drivers and see if that helps.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleone562 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Any chance that one has no fluctuations during high OC, would it brick an OEM 680M with 2gb ram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted July 28, 2012 Founder Share Posted July 28, 2012 Any chance that one has no fluctuations during high OC, would it brick an OEM 680M with 2gb ram?Is yours fluctuating? And what about the vbios you PM'd me about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldaren Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hey guys,New to this forum. I'm pretty active on the NBR forums. I'm also trying to figure out if the MSI Vbios would work safely on the Dell 680m. I can't get my 680m not to fluctuate during high overclocks.

littleone562 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Mine has some fluctuations at high OC about over 850mhz but only in 3dm11 nothing during intensive gaming. This is the OEM alienware 680M vbios though just modded for higher clocks, I have not tried any other subvendors (clevo/msi). Svl7 or anyone else have you tried a 4gb vbios on a 2gb card, does it work or brick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
