Re:CLEVO D901C flashing GeForce 8800M GTX, need some help? - 2008/04/09 00:39Thanks, please if you could just explain the voltage table. That's all that I need. I have allready figured out how to get the shaders bumped passed 1500MHz by adding in 1.05V. But the real problem is why the voltage table looks the way it does. And when I go into the voltage table editor it doesn't reflect what I see in the voltage table. Thanks...

Well it is not so easy to explain and certainly not with your strange voltage table that has blanks. So I rather don't as you don't really see from yourself how the voltage table editor relays to the voltage table, which is though rather straight forward. Read our NiBiTor guide and see if it makes sense first, as that is just basic. But then again the blanks in the voltage table as such is really strange and we are still checking the impact of this.

Just to repeat, please backup both the BIOS's using nvFlash v5.63 using the "-ix" index parameter to get the BIOS of each of the two GPU of the SLI config. Only than we will be able to find out if somehow we can use the same tweaks for the CLEVO laptop, as we have done for Dell.

Re:CLEVO D901C flashing GeForce 8800M GTX, need some help? - 2008/04/10 00:47I already get it. What I don't get is that the voltage table doesn't reflect anything that is on the card proper. I know how voltage works on cards. Again that's not what I wanted. I wanted to know why the voltage table didn't reflect what's in the editor. Yes hence the blanks. So you don't know. That's what I wanted. Thanks.

Well if you get it then you should know that the voltage table reflects exactly what is setup in the table editor, and yes those blanks are as such in the BIOS for whatever reason and that does reflect as it is correctly in the voltage table, and it is strange certainly but there is no bad view on it, just a strange setup for whatever reason on this BIOS either done by CLEVO or as such by NVIDIA. And don't forget the mobile version BIOS's are different and have normally eight voltage modes though only four can be used...
Now having done enough checks and validation the problem resides with the active entries which is set at eight, while on the Dell BIOS this is four, or like any other BIOS it is at least more than zero. When the active is set to zero it means that the BIOS will not use the voltage table at all. So what we shall do first is set the active entries to the maximum and then you will need to try if only with this change your GeForce 8800M GTX is still working.

Re:CLEVO D901C flashing GeForce 8800M GTX, need some help? - 2008/04/10 19:13Yes this BIOS that you upload, the card work perfect with it and no difference. I have not receive my second card but this the BIOS from same system without SLI config but its backup with NiBiTor not nvFlash. Please see what you can do with the voltage. I will receive my second card with new BIOS in about five days and will upload when its here.

I have not receive my second card but this the BIOS from same system without SLI config but its backup with NiBiTor not nvFlash. Please see what you can do with the voltage. To make it very clear, you don't have an SLI config at this moment, so don't speak about SLI yet untill you have your second card. Secondly this SLI system is different from the Dell system which is an one module SLI solution as far as I am aware and not two mobile modules running in SLI and that alone makes all the difference. So whatever you got now is a single GPU solution which has nothing at all to do wiith SLI at this moment.
What I have done with your BIOS is that I have cleaned up as well the voltage table and I have made the voltage available for you so that you can now just select what you want. Take into account that the GeForce 8800M GTX is normally running at 1.00V for the 3D applications and the highest voltage possible via the BIOS is 1.05V. And no don't start comparing with the Dell single module SLI config of the GeForce 8800M GTX as this is a total different solution, with a different voltage regulation.

Re:CLEVO D901C flashing GeForce 8800M GTX, need some help? - 2008/04/10 23:47And then a comment, or better question to both of you... As I understand you both have the same CLEVO laptop with the samle GeForce 8800M GTX module having 512MB memory, though the clock speeds of the BIOS are not the same. So who has attached the original BIOS? I am just wondering, and you both have not touched anything but just made a backup as is, then I would somehow like to know what is listed about the GeForce 8800M GTX, so I can find out why they are not clocked equally somehow... Thanks.

Re:CLEVO D901C flashing GeForce 8800M GTX, need some help? - 2008/04/11 11:09They are with different clocks because the BIOS that dexgo uploaded is overclocked, these is all available BIOS's for the CLEVO D901C with the GeForce 8800M GTX for now and its a clean backup without overclock or somethning else.

Re:CLEVO D901C flashing GeForce 8800M GTX, need some help? - 2008/04/24 12:38Well I was telling you that when I get my second card for SLI I will give you the BIOS. This is the BIOS that I get from my reseller, its for both cards only one thing is different my old card has board ID is 2301 and in this BIOS it is 9C23.
