GTX560 Ti OC (GV-N560OC-1GI)

[Transmitthis]

Hi, sure.
Well its been stable as can be, I don't know why GB don't release it or ship it with these cards.

I can run any GPU test, ie Furmark, OCCT and never get any artifacts or issues at all.
Can even bump up the clocks a bit more if I need to.

So yes if your wondering its def worth installing if you have the same card and think you may be having issues.
Hope that helps
Regards

Now its a .f12_b "file" do I just change that to rom or what?

EDIT: I do have the same card by the way. Does this keep the clocks at what they were out of the box or any of them lowered?

Hi zwinksta,
Its 3am here in old Blighty, so I'm not going into detail on how you flash a bios, there are many tools to do that
for example http://www.gigabyte.com/WebPage/40/index.htm
Make sure you know what your doing first though. (I just made a bootable flash card and did it via the cmd line - but I'm awesome skilz)

Yes it does keep the same clocks, here have a look at image attatched, thats what the bios shows up as after flashing, and there you see the increased voltage that makes it stable, and the clocks are the same.

The newest NiBiTor doesn't support the 560 yet and when I tried to flash with nvflash it said it completed succesfully but the card had 0 clocks for everything. I restored the back up and I am confused because it is the same card.

I used VGA @BIOS at the link I gave you, and also a bootable SD with the bios on.

Why you tried to do it using another method I don't know, and can't really help with. I suggest the best way would be from dos. ( ie make a boot sd thumb drive and put the bios on, then boot and flash from there) obviously making a backup of your orig bios first...   as I said before you need to know what your doing before you start.

There is nothing wrong with the bios, it works great, I think all the changed was to increase the volts a little.

Hope you have better luck with a different method

I will try again with VGA. It just couldn't even read my card in windows so I was a bit confused. Will post back with what happens.

Also what did you drag to the bootable usb from the VGA BIOS folder?

[Transmitthis]

All you need on the bootable drive is the bios file. (.rom)

[zwinksta]

Man I am a bit confused. So I install VGA @BIOS and then follow the dos part on that page?

[Transmitthis]

Ok, some of these guides are confusing and I didn't explain very well, here you go.

This One is the simplest to explain

Follow that but note this:
Rename the bios file to this f12b.rom - for ease
The last step on page 2 disregarde their dos command nvflash -p -u -f xxxxxxxx.rom as they made a mistake using switches no longer supported.
Use this

Code: [Select]

nvflash f12b.rom
Basically you just creating a boot disk, copying over the bios and nvflash
Then booting and flashing with that bios.

[zwinksta]

Well I did as you said and it f***s up my card for some reason. I don't understand why because it is the same card.
I guess I will wait until NiBoTor has support for the 560.

I see a new bios was released on the 29th September on the Gigabyte site. Has anyone tried it - does it solve this problem?

 I have to say my card has been fine up til now, except for playing the BF3 beta where I (and plenty of other 560ti users) appear to be getting just this problem, with people similarly saying that downclocking sorts it out.

Is it save to use the @vga utility to flash the bios from Windows 7 x64?

yes I have flash the new bios F13 so far everything is well (pass the 3Dmark11 X test) meanwhile there is a new diver,which enhance 37% performance for BF3. you should try it.

Thanks for the info. I'm already running the beta drivers.

Were you having problems specifically with BF3 before that have now gone away with the new bios?

yes I am too, there were some problems, but when I change the newest bios is gone. so  the new bios is better so far.
