First card was 73.4% that one I still own and works great just overclock above 1481 MHz and a second car I bought was at 76.4%. That one overclock the same. But that card died for no reason. So now, I just received the replacement for the replacement card lol. and I checked the ASIC and couldn't believe it said 80.4%. I even loaded in older GPU -Z program and that program said the same thing. So now I was wondering if I can get you to copy the settings on the old bios from the older card and matched the new card bios To it. So I can run them in SLI. As usual appreciate everything you do and thanks much GM200.zip 298k .zip file

Hey Mr-Dark, I got 2 EVGA 980ti FTW in SLI mode, also I made them water cooled by using NZXT G10 & Corsair H55. ASIC is pretty good 72.1% and 76.9%. Any chance I can get 1600MHz clock and max GHz on memory? Here is the stock bios, hope I can hear from you soon : ) evga980tiftw.zip 147k .zip file

EVGA GTX 970 REF 2.0+ 04G-P4-3973-KR
ASIC 78.8%
Original Boost Clock CLK74 1392.5MHz @ 1281.3mV
Stable modified ROM is at 1481.0 MHz, Mem 4001 (Samsung) Boost disabled,
Power Table increased to 371000, Voltage Table at 1281.3mV
Highest voltage seen OC: 1275mV stable at 1481 MHz

Goal is 1506.5 MHz but FireStrike has red artifacts in the first 2 tests and under gaming occasional driver crashes occur.

Using 362.00 Nvidia drivers. Fresh reinstalled several times but no change.
Huge tower case with lots of fans, OC air-cooled temps on original cooler approx low 70s at 1281.3mV. Using AfterBurner for fan profile only as it works better than modded ROM fan settings. 850W Bronze PSU

Not sure what else I can try. It's a REF card with the new heatpipes, baseplate, and otherwise identical to the 3975 SSC model, which at 78.8% ASIC I'd think I should be able to easily hit 1506. Wondering if REF means lower binned despite ASIC for some reason.

Need your expertise if you have a moment free. Attaching original and modified ROMs. Wondering if the new ROM has something off or if I'm just stuck at 1481. Not the end of the world as not much performance gain, just unsure why it won't hit 1506 with a half decent ASIC.

GPU-Z never shows any throttling or PerfCap other than Util with modified ROM.

Thanks in advance!

can you please create myself the same BIOS with following Clock-settings ?

GPU-Clock: 1507 MHz
Memory-Clock: 3953 MHz


My Original BIOS is attached.
Thanks in advance !

I got graphic-errors during the 3DMark-benchmark

Can you please set the GPU-Clock to 1468.5 MHz ?


Sorry for this trouble

Great Job, Mate !

Unfortunately I still see the same red flashes as before at 1506 in FireStrike testing. I guess this card really doesn't want to go above 1481. Maybe that's why it's a 3973 REF instead of a 3975 SSC. I've read conflicting statements on whether EVGA bins between the two other than just guaranteeing that 3975 can hit the factory OC, but the hardware should be identical. Would think 78.8 ASIC would do better but apparently other factors are in play. Any thoughts on that? I'd swap to a 3975 but with my luck I'd get a sub-70 ASIC 3975 or have other issues. Oh well, 1481 is not bad and this card is a HUGE improvement over the Nvidia 460 I had before. The graphics score isn't much different at 1481, and maybe only 1 FPS in gaming difference.

I'm open to suggestions if you think there's still some more potential in this card. Otherwise, would you be able to create a 1481 MHz version of this ROM and I'll settle with that?

Thanks again for your help.+1 Rep.
