Doug2507 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 May as well start using this shiny new section! 580 matrix plat. Don't really want to use gpu tweak as I've been warned of it killing cards. Nvi has core greyed out but can easy set in ab. Shader is linked though with no option to unlink. On 420 ab but can't remember if previous (2.2.3?) has Shader unlink? ? Vmem. Alternative to gpu tweak for mem volts or hard mod? Or just flash firmware? (Looks like 3 options for vmem flash in rog tools although not sure if I want it fixed v) And the rog bios set. Gather only one to use is the cold bios? There's a load of others something like m2xxx and c2xxx. Not sure what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lays Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Recently diced my 580 matrix plat, had no issues with gpu tweak. Went up to like 1.425v on core, 1.75v mem, no issues. I assume you got that zip file with all the 580 matrix stuff? That + cold bios is what I used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug2507 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Not flashed bios yet as just binning cards. Did you get shader unlock in nvi or ab after flash? I did try flashing .bat using that hack app but nothing changed. (Need bios flash also?) I've not had stock coolers off yet to check mem ic but just set 1.85 for binning mem. I'll need to revisit at lower v if sammy as they might do better with a little less. Gather the cold bios is the one to use but what are the rest for? Binned using 1150mv through software. Cards ranging from 980-1k+ core so far. (06) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cards ranging from 980-1k+ core so far. (06) All I benched was heaven extreme, at 1172 mhz around -55c on pot under load @ 1.425v software, 1300 on mem @ 1.75v software. I used cold BIOS yeah. Didn't use nvi or AB for OC whatsoever, only GPU Tweak version that came in the matrix 580 pack I downloaded. Zip file with lots of stuff in it. Here's result: http://hwbot.org/submission/3105703_ Card really struggled past 1150 mhz, I think coz temp wasn't very low since only DICE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug2507 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 What did you do with the gpu tweak bat file? 1300 mem v.good. my best so far but in 06 is 1250+. I'll need to try lower vmem. Wonder if cold bios has different mem timings allowing for higher mem clock....I'll test today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I did was run the "setup.exe" file in the GPUTweak folder that came in the Matrix 580 pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug2507 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Ah. Ok. Already have gpu tweak installed and when I ran the tools one it was older version so didn't proceed. Perfect! Seems you cant unlock Shader anyway. Don't know how but had it in my head dan had unlocked Shader for 06 sub. Just checked and still linked. Also msi! Epic fail on my part!

K404 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Oh... the mxxxxx and cxxxxx BIOS are for core or mem MHz. Flash under cold if you're going to I've not used any of them. Good for testing/binning I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug2507 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 That's what I thought but there's also cold bios so couldn't figure out why all the others. ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
