    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    the card was 675 core stock, I wasnt increasing volts for the core I am happy with that OC as it is above a normal GTS specs. I was doing it for the memory. My e-green only runs at 900 (1800 effective) and a normal gts runs at 1100 (2200 effective) and I wanted to close that gap as best I could...

    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    I had been running FurMark which is the reason for the high temps. It turns out even tho the BIOS said 1.1v the card was running 1.3v. I bumped it up to 1.35v VIA a BIOS flash and was able to get the memory to 1008 shaders to 1859 however the core wouldn't go past 774 which is fine to me bc...

    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    When I try to save the BIOS with gpu-z I get the "BIOS reading is not supported on this device" error. Also when I try to read my current BIOS with Nibitor I get the "Can't start driver: 1275" error I have been doing alot of reading on volt modding and it doesnt seem to difficult so if there is...

    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    I got it for a steal on a budget machine and it runs 3dmark very close to what the stock gts250 does but the stock gts250 overclocks WAY better. I am assuming it is the volts.

    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    I see, thank you very much for the response. Is there any software that can at least read my current bios so I can see what the voltage on this "Green" version is compared to a normal one? I have quite a bit of experience soldering small surface mount components so if I find a good enough...

    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    well it is the same chip as the normal GTS 250 so I am asuming bumping the volts would get it to stock clocks alot easier as it is a "Green" version running on less power. I have read a few different things about people bumping the volts via the BIOS but all the BIOS editing utilites they...

    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    I have precision installed already but it has no volt control. The MSI afterburner states its only for the GTX 460 series. So the only option is the volt mod?

    How do you raise volts on the graphics card?

    I know it has to be done in the card BIOS but the only two tools I read about are nibitor and nvflash but from what I read they dont work on a 64bit OS? Can rivatuner raise voltage??? Thanks!

    EVGA GTS250 core clock and memory lower than they should be?

    It looks like I have an "e-green" version that runs with a more eco friendly version of the g92 chipset. Explains why I got such a good deal hah. Is there a way to bump up my voltage on the graphics card? I can get it stable at 773 core speed but can only get the memory up to 940.

    EVGA GTS250 core clock and memory lower than they should be?

    I just grabbed a EVGA GTS 250 gddr3 512mb for a budget system. Everything I see online states that the default core clock is 756mhz and memory is 1100mhz. My card however is running at 675/900. the 1gb and 512mb have the same clock speeds correct? Am I missing something? the 756mhz/1100mhz...

    Best bang for the buck gaming card?

    I went with the GTS 250 and am very happy for $70 bucks. The EVGA software that came with it for O/C'ing works very well and the card seems to OC well. I would have deff gone with that above deal if I had seen it, but looks like its over now. Plus I dont like doing rebates from newegg. Very hit...

    Best bang for the buck gaming card?

    is the Zotac TurboCache GeForce 9600 GT 512MB (1GB TC) GDDR3 PCIe x16 a normal 9600 gt? Or does that turbo cache business mean its garbage? When I look at 9600gt's on google their 256bit but that zotac ones is 128bit. Right now I am leaning toward the gts250 for 105 up front and 70MIR
