To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your 980 Ti.​

Same asic as mine. Have you tried leaving the memory at stock and just pushing the core?

If Maxwell is anything like Kepler then wc didn't do much for me, yes temps are low and it runs silent but the bios always held you back from pumping more volts through the chip. Fermi was the last gpu I saw benefit from wc on a stock bios.

I guess though the overclocks everyone seem to be getting on these 980Ti's are more than decent enough and not to be sniffed at. :)

I did indeed try that to no avail. It just refuses to play ball if I push it any further.

I've managed a 4500 Firestrike Ultra score with my 2500k though so I'll take it! Only playing at 2560x1600 anyway.
 
So I see some throttling. With +120 I get 1467, but when the temps hit around 65 the boost goes down to 1454. IS this normal, its only 13Mhz...but just wondering at such low temps why?

Should get my 980ti soon if the delivery driver ever leaves the depot.
after 10 and my parcels still there :(

Ah ok, so more for a benchmarking side of things? Not generally necessary for a 24/7 gaming OC?

it can turn your card into a brick.

although I'm sure you can undo a bad flash still, used to involve having a second gpu in the system though so you could see what the hell you are doing on the screen.

for the majority of users flashing is not advised unless you are experiencing problems an update is known to fix

Now most of our Cpus have an IGP, so it's relatively safe. But I do agree that you should stick to what's achievable with Afterburner/Precision X, for everyday use.

I flash my phone..thats enough for me...

Don't think I could ever bring my self to flash a 600 gfx card!

Just don't have the kahunas!
 
Flashing a gpu bios is painless but editing one is different.

I edited the zotac bios to up the tdp to 350w. Interestingly this is in the original stock bios limits but just not set! If you check the original bios of the amp they set pcie max to 75w, pcie 6pin to 108w. Pcie 8pin max 175w But they set the total allowed tdp to 275w. So anyone able to do the math realises you can safely change max tdp to 358w - 75w from slot, 108w from pcie 6pin, 175w from 8pin. Now to be safe and not to over stretch the card i set it to 350w instead to give it room to power balance. This gives you 140% power in AB. Set this in AB and my card jumps up to 1225mv 1526mhz but starts hitting voltage limits even though i have +87mv set in AB. This is all running heaven in window.

Strange the voltage limit is hit even though the card can use up to 1250mv according to original bios limit. It just never gets there. I think however the monitoring in AB might be slightly out because the tdp limit is 140% the graph shows the card never really goes above 130% but the tdp limit flag does come on so something is not working right. Same with the voltage limit flag with +87mv yet card under voltage monitor graph never hits the 1250mv bios limit.

I do think the voltage regulatory circuit temperatures are probably at work here which artificially kicks in extra limits We dont see. Hard to tell.

For information the g1 bios has a tdp limit set at 390w at stock. The amp was 275w. Quite a difference which explains why the g1 boosts way higher out of the box. The voltage limit on the g1 is the same at 1250mv. The only other difference is the g1vhas a much more aggressive boost speeds with max boost entry 74 set at 1554mhz compared to amp at 1340mhz if memory serves. Not at home to double check.

i suspect if you can better cool the vrms (power circuitry) and chip better it will respond better to increased tdp and voltage limits.
 
I liked the cards before that had dual bios. So if a flash went bad you could flick a little switch to the other bios and get the card running so you could re-flash the original.
 
DPD just delivered my Zotac reference 980ti this morning. Must say I am hugely disappointed so far. I haven't got it into the PC yet so it might be a great card, but I didn't get a single bag of Haribo.

Overclockers, why hath thou forsaken me???
