Any advantage?
I, and a couple of other guys, have the MSI 7900GTO, and we have been experimenting with both BIOS, the 650/800 GTX and GTO mod posted in this thread. We are not shure, but we are discussing if the original GTO timings makes a difference.
The memory clocks about the same, but I don't get scores in 3D Mark 06 that is better in either one of the GTO or GTX BIOS. One of us got 50 points more in 3D Mark06 using the GTO BIOS, but that is not my experince yet. My scores are about the same...
I tried my evga 7900GTO with a GTX bios posted earlier in this topic and was able to achieve better overclocking and 3DMark scores with my gto bios.
Just a note: I bought my first card from zipzoomfly last week and i'm referring to it above. I just got a second one from newegg and it had a newer bios version by about a month. I was unable to overclock it with rivatuner. I flashed it to my backup from the first card and was able to overclock it.
The new bios, the one i couldn't overclock, was: 05.71.22.39.13. The old bios, the one i could overclock, was: 05.71.22.39.08.
