Anyone updated the MSI 7900GTO Bios to GTX

[The Asgard]

Hi,
Anyone done the deed?

Apparantly we have 1.1 memory under the bonnet and the card is a detuned GTX. So the bios should give us more volts so better clocks.

I'm thinking about it

I'm watching this space to see how you get on.

So if they go BANG you won't upgrade?

The only thing that puts me off is reliability. Being detuned GTX's .....?

OK just tried do update the bios and I get "GPU mismatch" when using nvflash and the msi gtx bios

I used "nvflash 7900gtx.rom" looks like its checking the device id

I need some good advice here before I will proceed.

The original GTO thread that appeared last week (Thursday I think) had links to a forum where people were flashing their GTO cards... I will try and find it for you (if you haven't already)

How do you know we have 1.1 memory? Did you look yourself?

With regard to the memory I have not checked but I have seen a post with extacly the same box/codes that did have samsung 1.1 so i'm assuming it does however Detect optimal is only giving 708 on the memory. Does the bios boost the memory voltage?

Just took the heatsink off

Memory
Samsung K4J52324QC BJ11

Chip
L604B141 0614A2
G71-U-N-A2

pushed the slider to 800 and it accepted it not tried for artifacts

Any progress Asgard? Still 100% stable here. Will leave it at 750core/800mem for a few more days, then try pushing it further. Hardly any change in temps at all, most likely due to the great stock cooler and the airflow in my case

Still waiting for some definate info on hwo to do it. Currently get GPU mismatch. For once I will probably be cautious of doing it until I know what exactly the Bios does with regard to voltages. I had the memory on my SLI setup running at 800 and it ran 3D mark 06 ok. Looks like a 11.5K ish score in 3D mark 06 if I crank my 6600 to 3.8.
