MSI GTX 680 Lightning...its here

the difference is,

 

vid mod locks the card to 1.4v. some cards red screen at that volts booting in to windows. So if you have an unlucky card you will have some problems. Vid mod also limits you to 1.62v in Ab. which is too little. You can still own with vid mod tho no problems.

 

Vcore mod is like a normal mod, goes from 1v to 1.35v. then do the rest with AB

 

DON'T use vcore mod with the NORMAL ln2 bios, that ln2 bios has some weird volting going on so you might see random .2 jumps in vcore. The MOA ln2 bios is perfect tho

 

 

is this the bios youre talking about?

Hey guys,

 

is there a BIOS with disabled boost function? Normal and LN2 Bios on my card make the clocks jumps around...

 

I found the NVInspector thing to force P2 PState, but its a bit weird with setting voltages with ABX and Clocks with NVI, because NVI add also some voltages with higher clocks... strange!

Is there a work-around for fixing that problem?

 

Or how do you guys set voltage and clocks?

You all using the VMod?

 

Thanks! :)

use HWBOT AB and you have all ranges like with extreme

Version 2.2.3 extreme works but using ln2 bios switch position max v.core i can get is 1.30v wish is too low for this card. I will go hardware mod to make the most out of it. Thank you for trying to help @d0minat0r , really appreciate it ?

Lots of ways to do this, start here (AB 2.2.4) since you have been trying ABX 2.2.3
This was from UnWinder

680 Lightning

On 2.2.4 you may edit Lightning hardware profile files (.\Profiles\VEN_10DE&DEV_1180....cfg) and add the following lines there:

[Settings]
VDDC_Generic_Detection = 0
VDDC_CHL8318_Detection = 46h
VDDC_CHL8318_Type = 1

Those lines disable NVIDIA's capped voltage control module, enable voltage control via direct access to CHL8318 and select offset voltage control mode for it.

Note: each card profile must be edited for SLI configs.

You can add this to the "OEM" file of many/most versions of AB, I know 411 HWBot works here I think I have one saved

LN2 BIOSs
FOR THE FIRST 5000 LIGHTNING 680s
