Neil if I send you my BIOS could you do the voltage thing? I tried myself but don't think I did it right.

1542/4000 - Max Volts MSI ( Custom Bios Temp/Power Limits Raised )

Now for game testing, did a 9 loop test of Heaven

Mine show +36mv only, yours?

Sorry buddy, I can only modify the temp target and power limits which can in itself be a big help.

Bluntwrapped & James does the voltage modifying

In MSI? +87 on my setting, however that only seems to be about 1.256

Correct, stock voltage is 1.212.

Such great temps, it really shows just how poor the SOC was for a cooler - And those are bits of debris flying about

BriT · 20 Feb 2015 at 18:47

is that dying light?

Goes to show **** optimized dying light is, 60% GPU usage.

4 patches later this is actually great considering how bad it was at first!

But I've uninstalled it anyway, I don't have the motion sickness pills handy for another night of throwing up

Just a little play @ 1510 Core 3850 Mem with a little boost of volts

Time now to actually Game

Just made my own custom bios for my G1.

Not pushed it crazy. Currently running 1600/4000

Just done a run on Heaven. Does this score look OK?

Looks low, see my post above yours Edit, just seen the Res, so I guess it's okay?!?

Dirk Diggler · 20 Feb 2015 at 19:19

Your fps looks to be capped. G-SYNC?

Bench at 1920x1200 or thereabouts as a good comparison to us here

dessimpson · 20 Feb 2015 at 20:22

Looks like a half decent score to me.
This is mine at 1430/7852

I've run this benchmark a few times but this is the first at 1440p

Dirk Diggler · 20 Feb 2015 at 20:57

Run it at 1080p and you'll have a proper comparison.

Awahwah · 20 Feb 2015 at 21:07

So, don't know if anyone else has noticed this. But my card appears to be voltage locked. Changing the volts in AB or PreX does nothing. I've asked the question to EVGA and will keep you all informed.

It doesn't appear to be a problem yet as it will run at 1510 @ 1.212v. But no mega clocks without voltage control, which is odd as the card is meant to have better voltage circuitry.

Dirk Diggler · 20 Feb 2015 at 21:14

Why do you think people are modding their bios?

Awahwah · 20 Feb 2015 at 21:39

Yep, will need to play. At least the FTW has two bios chips.
