Edge3903 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Flashing: http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/2166-%5Bguide%5D-nvidia-vbios-flashing.htmlYou can safely do it from within Windows instead of DOS since it's a desktop and not a notebook.Don't worry too much about what's safe for 24/7, with the voltage limit of 1.212V you can't really do anything wrong. Just enjoy your card. As for what's stable... some people run benchmarks like 3dM11 in loops to see whether it crashes after a while... but that's not necessarily the best way. You'll see that overclocking can be very application specific, i.e. some programs will allow you to run at +200MHz core without issues while others my already crash at +50MHz. Therefore you most likely have to find different settings for different applications. If the driver crashes just lower your overclock by 13 MHz and try again.

svl7 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 It comes all down to personal preference... I usually don't have my card overclocked except for benchmarks. However, as I said before, with this card I see no problems running it at the max voltage all the time... as long as the temperature of the card is reasonable. The limit of 1.212V doesn't really allow you to go into dangerous areas. In the end the increased temperature from overvolting and overclocking will do more harm to the other components on the board than to the GK110 die. Just don't worry too much and enjoy your card.As for the best way to test stability - I say there isn't such a thing as a best way, because some applications just don't allow for high overclocking and others do. Just find a good setting for the games and applications you want to run overclocked and create shortcuts for those clocks and your ready.

svl7 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 GTX 780 'OC edition v03' public link added to the first post. Thanks @eagle*23* for testing.This vbios will work for all GTX 780 that use the reference board. Works best with cards that use the reference cooler due to the fan curve.

Is the mod Classie Bio that you made ok to use for everyday use? How does that bio work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah sure. The classified mod is based on the classifieds vbios but will work on reference cards as well, the main difference is the default fan curve. Also I set the power settings of the classifieds vbios higher than in the regular vbios because the classified can be overvolted more than the regular card and therefore can draw more power.

BigTerminator Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Okay, hopefully this is a good back up of my vBios. Let me know if anything works and thanks a lot for what you do svl7.

Or can you do that in PrecisionX? I know u can turn up the voltage in PrecisionX by 38mV. What is the best power target that should be used...the max I would think?

ShadowC Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have a MSI GTX780 with the latest referens card bios on it Nvidia GTX 780 (EVGA) - 80.10.3A.00.01 - 'OC edition v03', my question is : As i have bought a [h=1]ARCTIC COOLING ACCELERO XTREME III[/h]http://datorfixarna.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=37706witch VBIOS should i use now?

Maybe the ACX version is the better choice since it has a lower idle fan speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yes. Flash with nvflash -6 and confirm the SSID override. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge3903 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yes. Flash with nvflash -6 and confirm the SSID override.After you flash a card with you custom bios are you going to need to reinstall video card drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Nope, if you flash a vbios with a different ssid it should automatically change the driver settings when Windows loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharma Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Edge3903,You need 5 posts to have download access. The Classified vbios pack was modded from Original '3A' Classified Normal and LN2 bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icebob Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Any chance for a classy bios with a higher power limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharma Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think Svl7 mentioned the classy vbios mod has 440w? at default settings. If you go back a few pages he talks about why he left it at 130%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneil99 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Multiple times while playing Arma 3 I saw my GPU clock go up and down, now the server does have a ingame graphics changer but I am not sure if that accounts for this Why does it do this? I thought GPU boost 2.0 is disabled. Should be noted it uses alot less power and most likely usage from the GPU as its CPU reliant. Edit shit wrong thread. This is a 780 ACX SC using the proper 3A bios. Will leave here because i am on my phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneil99 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 My card for some reason occasionally scales back its gpu clock in arma 3. Also at these times the power draw is pretty low. Game is very cpu intesive. Any reason why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpvecchi Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Just for info: latest bios are 80.10.3A.00.81 for SC ACX and 80.10.3A.00.82 for vanilla Titan cooler. And for SC with Titan cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go back a few pages he talks about why he left it at 130%.Yes, the default value of the mod is already high enough (440W), meaning you most likely won't need to adjust it manually unless you really crank up the volts.- - - Updated - - -Multiple times while playing Arma 3 I saw my GPU clock go up and down, now the server does have a ingame graphics changer but I am not sure if that accounts for this [ATTACH=CONFIG]8673[/ATTACH] Why does it do this? I thought GPU boost 2.0 is disabled. Should be noted it uses alot less power and most likely usage from the GPU as its CPU reliant. I've seen that before in some log files, can't really explain it. From what I have seen it only happens when the GPU usage is relatively low, so it's not really a performance decrease. Never seen it in benchmarks... I think that's really purely driver related.

icebob Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The reason I'm asking is for LN2 purpose. The evbot go to 1.5v so that's where it's going to be! I just want to make sure when I get the card cold, I won't hit the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 The LN2 mod has an ever higher limit, but of course I can't test whether it's high enough. Maybe I should crank it up a bit to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
