Question GIGABYTE 5700 XT Bios mod fails

[AlleyCat]

Hi,
I am failing to update Gigabyte 5700 XT. The same procedure updates the BIOS on MSI cards with no problem. I follow the instructions on Igors Lab.

The sign of having trouble with the card bios flash shows in GPU-Z. After flash using amdvbflash the values of GPU and memory frequencies is empty. With stock bios there are Mhz frequencies.

Is there any known problems with flashing Gigabyte cards?
Any suggestions on what other forums I may ask for assistance?
Is it possible that the OEM bios is signed, and any modified bios will be rejected?
If the bios is signed, any tools to resign, or would I need to buy a card from a different vendor?

Thanks,

Alley Cat

AlleyCat, You could stick with this power table and vram timings and changing the memory timing controller to 1 for cards with Samsung memory as below,

- Under Overdrive Limits tab, set:
GFX Maximum Clock 1500 MHz
Memory Maximum Clock 1000 MHz
Power Limit Maximum 0%
Power Limit Minimum 0%
Memory Timing Control 1 [Recommended for cards with Samsung memory]

- Under Power and Voltages, set:
Maximum Voltage GFX 850 mV
Maximum Voltage SoC 1150 mV
Minimum Voltage GFX 700 mV
Minimum Voltage SoC 700 mV
Power Limit GPU 140 W
TDC Limit GFX 150 A
TDC Limit SoC 12 A

- Under Frequency tap, set:
GFX Maximum 1150 MHz
Memory DPM 3 - 950 MHz

V. Under Fan tab, set: (For cards with blower fan only)
Fan Acoustic Limit 2100 RPM
Fan Throttling 2300 RPM
Stop Temperature 60° C (For cards that support fan stop)
Start Temperature 70° C

- K4Z80325BC (Samsung)
(1500 or 1550) MHz (Copy) - - - > (Paste) 1800 MHz
1800 MHz - - - > 2000 MHz
2000 MHz - - - > 2250 MHz

Memory Clock - tREF
1000 MHz - 3900
1250 MHz - 4875
1550 MHz - 6045
1800 MHz - 7020
2000 MHz - 7800
2250 MHz - 8775

and test the memory clock at 930 MHz, VDDCI at 900 mV and MVDD at 1320 mV.

The AMD 5700XT/Samsung memory could run at 930Mhz, but I had to increase the VDDCI to 910mv, and the MVDD to 1340.
The card speed is 56.9MH/s, but at the expense of 109W and perhaps less stability.

Test the settings below. If the cards start crashing, reduce the memory to 920 or 915, and check stability. If the cards are stable, try to increase again the memory frequency.

 

[Mini_Me]

Here what I do to stabilize the rig :
1) Update PowerTables and memory straps.
2) Test each new card in a test rig. This provided me with a range of performance for different brands. Since I am having multiple types of cards, I tested each brand or type. The same brand may have a different memory, and its range will be specific for a memory type.
3) Add cards to the rig, one at a time. I attempt to use the same OC settings for similar cards.
4) I create an OC profile as a template and give it a revision number. For example, PRODUCTION-8.1. Eight cards, rev. 1.
5) When the miner reports a crash, I modify only that card and save a new template as PRODUCTION-8.2. Eight cards, rev. 2.
6) I use a miner with default settings. All my cards are AMD, and the Red Team Miner is my preferred miner. The RTM reports accurate hash and power, and I prefer real numbers for calculating the rig's efficiency over a long period.
7) Crashed cards require higher VDD. Invalid shared needs less memory OC, or move VDDCI.

You are doing things correctly,
Most of the time each card will run differently from the other by a margin reflected on the parameters, the reason is the silicon lottery that affects the chip quality of the card, every card chip is different from by a percentage that is why the company put an approximate range for the specification of the items and their operating parameters which they always run on the average values as it is impossible to make such feat at the meantime.

Thanks man, I go with your parameters and later I will notice how it goes

 

[AlleyCat]

The AMD 5700XT/Samsung memory could run at 930Mhz, but I had to increase the VDDCI to 910mv, and the MVDD to 1340.
The card speed is 56.9MH/s, but at the expense of 109W and perhaps less stability.

The card is not stable at frequencies over 905MHz. I may be able to push the speed, but I will lose on stability and power consumption.

The Samsung memory likes more voltages than the Micron one,
The specification of the Samsung that it can operate at 1450 mV max unlike the 1395 mV of the Micron,

For Samsung memory, it will run stably at memory clock 930 MHz, at MVDD 1350 mV and VDDCI 950 mV, I believe the best core clock for Samsung is 910 MHz at MVDD 1350 mV and VDDCI at (880 ± 5) mV.

For the Memory is better to fix the MVDD at 1350 mV and adjust the VDDCI until the memory temperature reach 88° C after that one can increase the MVDD if he still did not achieve what he wants.

Just to clarify, you are referring to the memory speed, and not the core speed.

 

[Mini_Me]

Yes and my apologies I already corrected it.

Have you tried changing the memory timings controller to 1 yet?

 

[AlleyCat]

Have you tried changing the memory timings controller to 1 yet?

Yes.

 

[Mini_Me]

Yes.

It seems now things is working normally for the Samsung memory scaling after changing the memory timings controller, is it correct? would you like to confirm this after you verify it or there is something else would you like to add?

 

[AlleyCat]

I have been increasing the Gigabyte memory clock from 920MHx to 935 in increments of 5 while keeping the VDDCI and MVDD constant. I expected the hash-rate to increase, while the power to remain at the same level. I am getting NO increase in the hash rate.
Why the hash doesn't increase?

Changing the memory timing controller allowed to increase the memory speed from around 900 to 910. Any further increase in speed results with instability.

Because it will reach a level that it needs an increase in the core clock and the same thing for the core clock as well when you increase it and you see no difference in the outcome until you increase the memory clock.

 

[Mini_Me]

Changing the memory timing controller allowed to increase the memory speed from around 900 to 910. Any further increase in speed results with instability.

Try these for an example,

Core 1440 MHz @ VDD 800 mV,
MEM clock 930 MHz @ VDDCI 945 mV and MVDD 1395 mV,

and compare it to

Core 1440 MHz @ VDD 800 mV,
MEM clock 910 MHz @ VDDCI 885 mV and MVDD 1365 mV.

Have you noticed any changes in the power consumption compared to before at the same settings? I believe for Micron memory that this may result in a little bit of reduction in the power consumption, worth a try.

 

[AlleyCat]

Try these for an example,

Core 1440 MHz @ VDD 800 mV,
MEM clock 930 MHz @ VDDCI 945 mV and MVDD 1395 mV,

and compare it to

Core 1440 MHz @ VDD 800 mV,
MEM clock 910 MHz @ VDDCI 885 mV and MVDD 1365 mV.

The card with the Samsung memory will not go beyond 910 and be stable.

 

[AlleyCat]

These are my current settings.
1) I set the core clock to 1410 for all the Gigabyte cards, and they run at 750mv. GPU 7 crashed, so I increased VDD to 760.
2) The core speed of 1410 with a high memory clock allows generating over 57.x MH/s. Keep in mind that the hash rate is accurate because I am using TRM. I suspect that a Phoenix miner will report over 58MH/s.
3) I will run the rig for several hours and adjust the core volt for cards that crash until all the cards are stable.
4) The AMD with the Samsung memory runs at 54.xMH/s, but under 100W. I conclude that the benefit of cards with Samsung memory, and specifically reference cards, are greater efficiency. I plan on getting additional reference cards as they sell used below the cost of other 5700XT.
5) The Sapphire card is not optimized. But I prefer to defer working on it because with only one card, and the impact is minimal.
6) The MSI card I prefer not to touch it. It is too volatile, and I don't consider it a good card for mining. I will not touch it because the benefit of one card is minimal, and I am not planning on getting additional MSI cards for mining.
