Does any one know how to tweak the power limit to +200 like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMWjJqDJ4Ag - how did he do it?
me want me some of this, +50 is not enough!

I would like this also...
The guy in the video is using a 64 bios though right? and most definately watercooling for him to be at 20.C
What would this +200 power limit do for me on the 56 bios? How would I utilise it to get better oc (on stock cooling)

I'm using a 64 bios also but I don't know yet about the +200, but I hope it boosts the core steadily to them high levels like the one in the video, and regards to the stock cooling which is whats holding this card back, then you just have to tinker with the settings until you get a good balance between the temps/fan curve and boost clock, and what your willing to put up with when it comes acoustics.

I have been tinkering for a long while now, the best i got out of this card so far (i care not for the noise or power) is
1050 p6+p7 6% core (1610 mhz) and 935 memory that gets me 14,737 on superposition benchmark. (70% -87% fan) This is good for gaming
Max so far : 1200 p6+p7 4% core (1645) and 950 memory, this gets me 15,012 on superposition benchmark. (has to be 100% fan to achieve this) This i am scared to use for a long peroid of time.

The 64 bios will do you much better with the core and hbm and the rest of it. Are you getting 1645mhz while your running something, or do you mean that's just the setting?
 
Thats the max it actually reaches but it bobs up and down, this is the most annoying thing about the card. Because i set the % not a manual value i never know what its gonna be until its running the benchmark

Yeah that sounds about right, the 56 stock bios is not all that, the 64 bios is much better! and I think its gonna get even better with this power limit tweak.
 
I have done many since I got it, and the one I have at the moment is -
p6 - didnt change clock
p7 - 1645mhz - 1140mv - if you lower mv to much, the core boost diminishes.
Hbm - 1065mhz - 1000mv.

Passed firestrike ultra stress test.

It should cause your card to boost to a higher clock, due to the increased power headroom. Keep in mind your old stable OC might no longer be stable as the card will try to boost higher than before.

Ok, but I want to know if I did it correctly! I just opened it and pressed ok with out changing any directory, was that right? because I noticed it in wattman and in overdrive tool, also in msi afterburner but when I dialled in the plus +200 power target, it boosted the same as if it was at +50 :confused:

That could mean either your card wasn't power limited in the first place, or that it isn't the number #0000. Download DisplayDriverUninstaller and open the program and it should only detect one GPU with the name #0000, if not boot into safe mode and click clean and restart, then reinstall the latest drivers, and reapply the power limit tweak. Usually the cause of it detecting more than one GPU is - if you haven't reinstalled drivers, after you have flashed a new bios to the card, hence it detects it as a different GPU.

I think I did reinstall drivers after the flash but no problem I will do it again.
