Rückenmark´s VBios

[frosty5689]

I did state my speculation of the voltage being false. It was fun while people believe it. :P

1.05 does seem to work though, as AMD GPU Clock Tool actually reports the correct voltage, tried setting 700/1000 to 1.05 and AMD GPU Clock Tool reported the VDDC as 1.05 instead of 1.15 as seen on all other voltage modifications.

"There is only the loud spinning Momentus XT"

Oh, I thought it was the fan, but then I put my good ear down and listened, and shure, it was the XT, ftw... This thing is really loud.

Sadly my 500 GB WD Black died after 3 months, too hot I guess.

But Ruckenbackers bios is working absolutley okay here, no prolbelms...

Servus, Danke Schön!

Did you try updating the firmware to the latest?

Yes, they are real (I'm running on 0.004V as I type), but I have my doubts about them, read below.

You're probably still running that requires 3D for it to not revert back to 2D clocks.

On a side note, I noticed something about the PowerPlay states.
I don't think State 6 or Clock info 03 controls the Performance setting of PowerSave mode. It is the profile used when vari-bright is enabled (no idea how to enable this), so it is essentially useless. There is only one state for PowerSave. UVD tends to over-ride any state that has a lower-clock than the UVD clock. Another thing worth mentioning is, I'm not really sure what we're doing is actually making the 5870M lower its voltages, AMD GPU Tool still reports the same (0.9V minimum), and GPU-Z seems to report them fine but I have doubts after reading the tutorial on using RBE. It states that if there are no supported voltages listed, the ones used for those state are what you get, nothing more nothing less.

Say again?

ok... dumb question. After updating with a modded vbios like this, is the change in voltage and whatnot seemless? I mean, do you have to select the change or is it automatic? What changes to the power profiles, if any, are needed?

I just want to make sure that I get the full power of the video card for gaming, but some extra battery life would be kinda nice...

high performance is untouched... so you won't loose performance in gaming
we are trying to get more baterry life and cooler temperatures in other profiles

[SwissyJim]

So it's seemless? I can update the vbios, run on battery with longer life, then plug it in and get the full power for gaming? All without changing a setting or profile? Or do I need to select the high power profile to game, then change to a different one for the battery life.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I've not changed any settings - I just leave it on Power4Gear High Performance as it's 99.9% a gaming used laptop. But that .1% time it's used for OTHER than gaming it might be nice to have the battery life. I just need to make sure it's something that will work for a non-computer user like my wife ;-) Otherwise I'll look into a netbook she can have as her own.

jeahr you will get the full performance and much more because with our mods you can overclock!

he can overclock either way with amd gpu tool
or did you meant for the overdrive?
