Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.7 software and got feedback? - 2009/01/02 11:29Okay thanks, I will be looking forward to that new NiBiTor v5.0. By the way, while manipulating clock rates, NiBiTor could automatically enable performance table entries accordingly, I noticed that table entries will not change. I also played around with voltage settings but it wouldn't change not matter what and remained at around 1.08V in 2D and 1.11V in 3D with a GeForce 8800 GT non reference board.

And why would we change that? That is the whole purpose that it won't change unless you know what you are doing and know that to have more levels you need to activate that and adapt the setting accordingly. This tool is not made for children to play with and therefore some common sense is required to avoid tweaks just for tweaks because some just don't know what they will be changing. So no that won't change as it is an extra protection against those who don't know what they are doing.

Euh, just a question do you understand how the voltage is controlled on NVIDA based graphics cards? Cause it is not the voltage index that controls it, but the VID level. Each VID level has its own voltage level and the VID alone controls that. So meaning that the voltage indication that we put next to it is information only to make it easy, but if you don't change the VID level nothing will change. This has been explained quite a lot of times but well better to repeat again.

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.7 software and got feedback? - 2009/01/02 18:15Is it possible to add support in the future for the Quadro FX4500 X2 graphics card? Cause from what I can see that is missing in the current version? Thanks.

Well that is possible as soon as we receive the BIOS's of the Quadro FX4500 X2 graphics card, cause without those we don't knwo what we have to support as each BIOS is in structure a little bit different and that is what we need to code into the tool. But as of now that also means we will focus on this that come from those persons that contributed to our fund raising, so use the ChipIn button to participate.

Yeah you might be right, there are tons of children out there playing with your software and they might end up doing something silly. But then again you could just put a warning or something, they are all over the place in NiBiTor anyway. No problem for me I can do it myself, I was just trying to automate things a little.
Euh, just a question do you understand how the voltage is controlled on NVIDA based graphics cards? Cause it is not the voltage index that controls it, but the VID level. Each VID level has its own voltage level and the VID alone controls that. Yes I know how it works, been using it since old the GeForce 6 series years. What I used to do is just not working with this card, voltage does not change at all. Here's another question, why is that when I try to run NiBiTor it sometimes takes a little bit longer to open and I see a small CPU usage spike? This does not happen if I run NiBiTor right after logging into Windows.

Well there are enough warnings in the program and some things just don't need an automatic but logic and knowing what you are doing. That way you are certain some things won't be changed by accident and then you know what will happen, they run crying back to their store or manufacturer that will say you have done something you should, the warranty doesn't apply. And we like to avoid that as much as possible, those that tweak should know some basics or should ask before trying.
Here's another question, why is that when I try to run NiBiTor it sometimes takes a little bit longer to open and I see a small CPU usage spike? This does not happen if I run NiBiTor right after logging into Windows. Frankly, I have no clue and I am running NiBiTor on about 5-6 different computers, and our developer also on some and those go from an old Intel P4 to a Core i7 system and haven't seen such behavior, and running Windows XP up to Vista 64-bit operating system. So that might be something just linked to your system? At least nobody else reported such behavior yet...

I have only tried Windows XP and Server 2003 and this happens fromtime to time, but I don't know why. Tried different hardware as well and also on my laptop.

And so far you are the only one to report such a behavior so we will just wait and see if others have seen something similar or not, but it is noted down as a reminder in case we would see such thing as well happening.

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v4.7 software and got feedback? - 2009/01/31 21:22I tried to read the BIOS in NiBiTor of my ASUS laptop with a GeForce 9500M GS and the laptop gave a blue screen. It happened as soon as I told it to read the BIOS, I didn't change any values or anything. Now my computer won't boot up.

Euh, that can happen this blue screen when the video BIOS is integrated in the main BIOS as we have mentioned already many times and that would be the same with other tools. That the laptop doesn't boot any more we haven't seen yet, and we doubt very much that was due to the read BIOS as it just attempts to read but since you don't gave a dedicated chip holding the video BIOS it fails to locate the read point and as such can't read certain data and as such Windows does a bluie screen.
That your laptop doesn't boot is very strange and you would be the first to encounter that and we have seen so many already doing it and having a blue screen that we can say that will have nothing to do with the program itself. Can you try to pull out the battery and so on to get a hard reset done? We are assuming somehow the main BIOS did a fail save after the blue screen and as such will hold of booting until some kind of reset is given. Can you try that?
