hey i was checking out my card on asus website and there is a bios update that it states increases performance, so a free increase i jumped to the chance and tried to flash it. the instructions given are run the .exe and the screen could go black for upto ten seconds, well i get an error saying "your graphics card of current system don't match this vbios" so what am i ment to do i also had a problem with asus smart docter as that doesnt detect my graphics card as an asus card. the reason for the bios flash i hoped wat to up the max voltage in gpu tweak as it's capped at 1087 which is weird as oll the forums i go to say dont use more than 1.25v so i cant even seect 1100=1.1v so i dont know.
anyone any ideas ?
at the 1087 voltage i can get 990mhz and 2400mhz memory stable but i want to go further as my temps in game are only hitting 65 degrees celcius.
thanks in advance for any help
65c is nice, but you also need to cool the VRM's.
Voltage=VRM heat...
typically 900-1GHZ is the limit for most 560Ti's.. unless you have a binned golden chip... and these are rare and few.
i know mine is running sweet but i dont understand how my max voltage is 1.087 when other people are being able to put 1.2v to the card, and why the bios update says it's the wrong card in my system basically.
wait... 1.2 is not a normal voltage for any Fermi based GPU...
I had to modify my GTX 480 to gain more voltage from a max of 1136mv, to 1213mv...
Adding voltage can destroy your VRM's and also destroy your GPU core...
Just because the heat is ok on the core, it does not mean the actual card will be stable, and work well with more voltage..
I found a neat trick to gaining more mhz on the core with my 480... but this is because my card has such a large memory bandwidth, i turned down the memory clock a little from 4008mhz, to 3800mhz..
Here are the results:
EVGA GeForce GTX 480 SSC: 875/1750/4008 1100mv [24/7] | 920/1840/3800 1188mv [suicide] | 950/1900/3800 1213mv [Insanity+Validated]
(950mhz submission) http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/v8m2x/
Here is how i cool the beast...
I am a highly experienced overclocker, and can gain higher overclocks than your average joe..
The thing i aimed for here was VRM's... those 2 huge 120mm fans bring down enough air pressure to keep the VRM temp under control, thus gaining clocks higher than most will ever gain on water...

this is my validation,
i was wondering is the 560ti a gk110 because when i saved my bios file from gpuz it saved as gf114.ROM and
also here is a link to the card i have for some reason its not on asus's uk website http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/ENGTX560_DCII_OC2DI1GD5#overview
this is a decent cooler and i was thinking about getting vrm heatsinks for it is it worth is
is it possible if i reduce my memory frequency my core clock might hit 1ghz
Thanks for the help
In all honesty, it looks like you have hit the maximum that cooler can handle, and most likely what the chip can handle...
Also, GK110 is Kepler GTX 600 series and Titan...
Your chip is GF114.
If you drop the memory down a little, it may gain you some core headroom, this is a neat little trick that not all people take into account, see when you over volt a card, it also over volts memory and GPU... but memory can defect core stability because it needs more voltage to handle the higher core load aswell as the memory load..
thanks for the help will try messing around later, i am going to upgrade my card soon and have come to a crossroads and maybe your help could solve my problem,
i have £320 as a maximum budget
i could get an asus gtx 670 2gb
or
1ghz hd7970 also asus
as you can tell i ike asus,
i know the 7970 outperforms the 670 out of the box but which one after overclocked would be a better choice
also i found a deal that i get 4 games with the hd7970 for £50 which includes crysis 3 and bioshock infinite when i comes out so im leaning towards that
As an avid overclocker, i would go 7970... it just sports better features, like the larger bus width, and none of that silly core boost :)
Also... 4 games is an awesome deal :D
