I want to know how to get past the 900mhz limit on the 1gb 5870, do I need to mod the bios or what? if so, please point me to the correct file

thank you

900mhz limit in CCC?

Download MSI Afterburner Via

http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

Once downloaded go into the Msi Afterburner CFG and change the EULA to I confirm... and overclocking mode to 1

* Set UnofficialOverclockingEULA field to the following text: I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
* Set UnofficialOverclockingMode to 1 to keep PowerPlay active (may not work on old ASICs), 2 to traditionally disable PowerPlay or to 0 to temporary disable unofficial overclocking path

They changed the way to bypass the limit so type this into your CFG file in Afterburner so you need to type in that sentence in the EULA to bypass the 900MHz limit

yeah alot of non-ref cards have a 900mhz limit my Vapor-x does too not sure how to get around it though

the one that stops msi afterburner going above 900mhz. I dodnt actually know if there is a set limit, I just know I can't pass 900 :s

If you're referring to the CCC OC limit, that can easily be bypassed with third party overclocking applications.

Afterburner, Trixx, your pick.

Open the MSI Afterburner config file (MSIAfterburner.cfg) using Notepad (located in your Afterburner install folder), change the following string "UnofficialOverclockingMode=0" to:
Quote:

UnofficialOverclockingMode=1

Then, enter the following as a statement confirming the limit bypass next to "UnofficialOverclockingEULA":

But can you unlock voltage control through the registry?

It's pointless to unlock higher clocks if you don't have access to vcore control

 

[JY]

right, iv got it. thank you so much guys. what is the max OC?

Pointless? If you can hit your clocks without mucking around in AB and Trixx, wouldn't that be the most efficient method? Not all cards need 1.3v to hit decent clocks.

Running both my 5870 and 5850 at 1050MHz easy. Most lightly some settings you've played with.

When I try and save this, it says permission denied

How do I gain admin access?
