I am really fed up with this. Is there going to be new working bios for 560 Ti OC or not? I have F11 version but I must downclock it to use it WTF? I don't want to use any additional software, just my plain 250 euros Graphic Card. I see on newer cards there is F12 version. Why we can't download this version?
-
hello
First be sure of you power supply! if you want tell me model and watt (i have a good know edg on it)
i had tell a solution here :
http://www.media-addicted.de/gigabyte-gtx-560-ti-oc-stable-clock-gpu-voltage-settings-vddc/1056/
how ever i had see many else on the fr forum because people got bad power supply
unfortunately the F12 bios bug too.
best regards 8)
-
well i just emailed Gigabyte about the issue and asked about the future bios updates, so once i get a reply i'll let you know
-
Thanks, I am waiting for you.
BTW I updated my BIOS to version F12 that gave me @npottle from this forum but the problem still exists. I checked the new bios and there is nothing changed. The voltage is same.

what do you mean F12?

where and how did you get the F12 from???
-
It would appear from your picture that you have a different GPU and that is probably why you are running a F3 BIOS. I have the F12 for anyone who wants to try it at their own risk.
-
As gigabyte said there are two versions of BIOS. One is From F1 to F8 and other from F9 to F18 or something like that. So Graphics caards wwith BIOS F1-F8, can't use F9-F19. There are always parallel versions released for example F3/F11, F4/F12 etc etc so you should be looking for F4 version.
-
Yes that's correct and it usually depends on the specific chip being used. It catches a lot of people out and they can't understand why the versions are different for their board.
-
aaaaa i see well i did email gigabyte and gonna wait for their reply ^^

Anyway there is software called NiBiTor.
It mods any bios. I modded my bios and returned the frequencies to the standard 822MHz and I have no problems anymore.
You can also change the voltage on the OC cards so it gets stable. This software is not official Gigabyte or other brand. It is 3th party software but it is very good.
I really don't understand why Gigabyte doesn't release this new BIOS with higer voltages?
We all know that the problem is the voltage. Or at least they should make official BIOS that can revers your graphics card to normal version, not overclocked.

so i spent that extra £30 just to go back to stock clocks? Nah this is not right
-
I know man I am angry too but better have stable graphics card then crashing. I don't know what Gigabyte are thinking at this moment but they must do something about this. At least make downclocked bios or bios with higer voltages.
WTF Gigabyte?
If I could get my money back I would go for MSI. I'll try and ask mu dealer if he can return my money back.
-
I am sure that Gigabyte must know what is the cause of the problem by now but why they are dragging their heals and not supplying a new updated BIOS for download I don't know. Have all of you contacted them to make sure they are aware of the problem and the fix ? If not I would advise you to do so now. The more people complain the more notice they will take . Better than just moaning on the forum and saying you wish you had bought xyz card instead.

Would it be possible to create a new thread asking people to contact gigabyte on the http://ggts.gigabyte.com/ link and ask people to provide their information, the more gigabyte knows about the issue the easier it will make for them to solve it.
every company makes small mistakes i am not having ago at them, no body is perfect but it would be nice to be able to play games without them crashing all the time when i paid extra money to get a factory overclocked card.
-
I would be really happy to provide me with BIOS that returns the card to normal clocks. I'll forget the extra money just to have stable card.

No I do understand your feelings and I think that would be a good idea. Please feel free to do just that. As I said the company needs to be made aware of the issue and the more people who do so the quicker some action will be forthcoming I am sure.

I returned the Graphics Card and instead I bought i5 2500K :)
I think now I'll go for MSI 560 ti. Sorry but gigabyte disappointing me this time.
-
Nice litttle CPU and very easy to overclock to some quite high standards, also doesn't get that hot compared to the previous generation. Sorry to hear that you gave up with the card but sometimes it seems the only way to go.
-
i am doing RMA with my retailer, since i did the OCCT test and i got 36 errors within 93 seconds, tbh i did not pay that money for a broken card. and i want to do a swap but they don't want to let me, they want to replace it with new one and i know for sure it will have the same exact issue!
-
I am afraid that is something you will have to discuss with the retailer. :-\

Wo I am sorry to hear this man. That is bad reseller. He has no right to force you to do that. My reseller asked me if I want the money back or swap for other thing. I choose i5 + 4GB DDR3.
I still thing that Gigabyte is good brand and I think I'll bought motherboard from Gigabyte for the i5 CPU but I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED from the graphic card. I mean I payed 200 euros and you can't have the expected satisfaction.
Believe me even if they give you another card it will be broken again or will die very soon. It is manufacturing error.
Also my reseller gave me an option to flash the card with their tweaked BIOS but I refused that. I PAYED FOR PLUG AND PLAY CARD, not for plug and error and return and flash BIOS and play card. Gigabyte sell these cards as "ready for use" and I don't want to repair it in the first day.

wow what's the name of your retailer?
well tbh i don't blame gigabyte all the companies are having issues :S i checked the forums and major companies MSI, EVGA, ASUS all having either artifacts or crashes with 560ti, 570 and 580. So tbh the people who messed up are Nvidia.
btw are Gigabyte ATI card any good?
-
Yes I am afraid there have been many problems due to Nvidia recently and that is one reason I am using the AMD Radeon GPUs. They are much better and without half the headaches.
