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

Are we getting to the "final" power tables for the cards we tested?
- Gigabyte 5700 XT Gaming 8G / Micron memory
- Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse / Micron memory
- Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse / Samsung memory
- MSI 5700 XT Gaming / Micron memory

We will however first let us test the HiveOS settings that I sent in the previous message, after that let us test the Samsung memory with core clock at 960 MHz with the same HiveOS settings sent above.

When we finish the above we will finalize a universal power table for all cards.

Great, have you tried the setting below yet,

Core clock 1435 or 1440 MHz
VDD 800 mv,
Memory clock 960 MHz
VDDCI 800 mv
MVDD 1365 mv
Fan 50% or AutoFan mode

1440, 790/800/1365 960,
I am getting 59.7 with 115W at hiveOS.

 

[Mini_Me]

Not yet.

Please take your time,

And by the way the best and recommend parameters for the memory for stable long run are:
For memory clock at 950 MHz, VDDCI at 850 mv, MVDD at 1350 mv,
For memory clock at 960 MHz, VDDCI at 850 mv, MVDD at 1365 mv.

With the settings above

For memory clock at 960 MHz, VDDCI at 830 mv, MVDD at 1365 mv.

with the settings above, the hash is over 59.7 but the power is up to 117.

is there a way to reduce the power below 110, even at the cost of 1-2 MH/s?

Let us try,
Core clock 1400 MHz,
Memory Clock 935 MHz,
VDD 770 mv,
VDDCI 770 mv,
MVDD 1310 mv.

Regarding the fan, did you try both 50% and AutoFan mode?

I believe HiveOS needs optimization from your side is like it is a program thing more than the card, have you tried the bios that was sent by igotek which you informed me about before?

I’m getting with the settings above 58.3 at 111W.
I tried both Fan at 50% and auto fan. The power is the same.

I reviewed the bios by Igotek with MPT and the only mod I could find was the copy of 1550 stock strap to all frequencies above. I decided to use the Apple straps instead.

just as a test, I could load the Igotek bios to compare performance.

Very well, and please do check to decrease the memory clock to 935 or 930 MHz,

Core clock 1400 MHz,
Memory Clock 930 or 935 MHz,
VDD 770 mv,
VDDCI 770 mv,
MVDD 1310 mv.

and after that decrease the core clock until you see there a difference inthe hash, and note down the value for the core clock and the power consumption for comparison.

At 1360 core, 770/770/1310 935, the hash is 56.5 at 105W

VDD 770 mv,
VDDCI 770 mv,

57.1 Mh/s at 105W

This result is from igotek bios or your modded bios with Apple straps?

Apple straps.

 

[Mini_Me]

Apple straps.

I believe it is still running stable until now as well, correct?

 

[Mini_Me]

Apple straps.

Good morning and good day,

Let us now finalize and summarize our results using Apple straps in a table as below,

Core Clock @ VDD
1440 MHz @ 790 mv,
1410 MHz @ 770 mv,
1380 MHz @ 750 mv,

Memory Clock @ VDDCI & MVDD
960 MHz @ 810 mv & 1365 mv,
950 MHz @ 800 mv & 1350 mv,
930 MHz @ 790 mv & 1310 mv,
910 MHz @ 770 mv & 1280 mv,
880 MHz @ 750 mv & 1240 mv,
870 MHz @ 740 mv & 1230 mv,

Fan 50% or AutoFan Mode.

I continued dropping the VDDCI and MVDD and the system was running at 59.4 down to 111 W

At very low memory volts the card becomes unstable.

Excellent work you have done,
