GTX 970 / 980 - Custom Bios

Found out the nvflash needs to be in the root of the C:\, not in a folder. Sorted now.
Ha the H drive is a blank drive... I was trying to make it into a bootable USB - Nothing exciting I'm afraid.

just for anyone else, it doesn't need to be anywhere in particular at all. you were running nvflash from the root and trying to get it to reference a bios file in the root which won't work. you could have just cd'd into C:\nvflash and then it would have worked.

What OC were you getting on the stock BIOS?

I ran them at 1500mhz stock volts 24/7 and could bench at 1555 to 1590mhz (depending on bench)

Now I can bench over 1600mhz and the voltage in SLI is stable meaning both my cards boost together instead of all over the place which causes frame latency.

Nice tempted to do this then but tbh I don't need to, I only game at 1080p and my card performs brilliantly on any game I throw at it.
 
Default clocks :

Overclocked : 1500/1800

Custom Game Stable Bios : 1588/2000

Biggest raise is from default - overclocked

2-3fps can make a difference with VSYNC and 60HZ->60FPS games :)

Cheers. Thanks for the info.
 
Thanks mate. This would have been fine, but I updated my BIOs with the new MSI official BIOs to stop the random fan spin, and it seems to have stopped me with your BIOs. Im guessing because I've got a new BIOs version?
Is a case of saving the BIOs, altering the figures and flash it back?
 
If you have two (or more) cards you can type nvflash --list to see devices then:
nvflash -6 --index=0 biosnname.rom to flash a particular card - changing the 0 to whatever ID of the card.

I can only get about 1460 stable - a little more for benching on my SLI setup (inno3d 'reference') Cant seem to get more than 1.212V with a custom BIOS so maybe I am VRM limited?

At least I can remove TDP throttling and the temps are great (under water).
