on paper it should helps but that all depends on how cool is the card and how good the core can overclock.

basically luck will also come into play.

increasing voltage will make the signal much stronger thus it will help if ur increasing clock frequency. but increasing clock frequency only, wont burn ur GPU, but increasing voltage will definitely increase the temperature thus it might burn ur GPU if u don't keep the temperature under control....

Then any GPU voltage tuner?

there r few options:

a) tune the bios & reflash
b) if ATI card, use ATT (ati tray tools), but doesn't support voltage tuning on 5k series.
c) use s/w provided by manufacturer, such as MSI Afterburner (only works with specific gc by dat manufacture, however, lets say u own a Sapphire 5850 instead, u could flash the bios to MSI 5850 & use afterburner)

Flashing the BIOS? very risky... vmad.gif I now owning a Gigabyte GT220 and the max clock I can push to 800MHZ, above 800MHz it will be unstable(running 3dmark or crysis will crash after 1 or 2 minutes) Means I can change my brand from gigabyte to other brand by flashing the bios? thanks for answering. notworthy.gif

actually flashing ain't dat risky if u know how to recover from bad flash.
for nvidia, u could do a "blind flash" recovery (google the steps).

i suggest try ASUS or EVGA bios since they usually provide the most overclock ability gc.

Then can you teach me how to flash my BIOS? and where can I download the ASUS bios? Is that I need Nvidia Bios Editior? Thanks notworthy.gif

try EVGA bios.

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1762/...sh_5.91.01.html

& dis is NVflash, use to flash ur nvidia gc bios.
all u need is create a bootable pendive, put dis file in ur pendrive, & set ur mobo 1st bootable to USB. (if no usb bootable, u'll hav to create bootable cd o floppy)

steps:
1) backup ur current bios & put it in the bootable pendive (rename it to something ez to remember such as "old.rom").
2) dl ur new bios & also put it in the bootable pendrive (rename it to something ez to remember such as "new.rom").
3) boot the from the pendrive & following r the commands.

QUOTE
nvflash -5 -6"biosname.rom" (without " ")
dis is for normal flashing & if u were sure the bios is compatible.
but chances r, different manufacture, the bios wont b compatible & resulting in error, hence, use force flash.

nvflash -4 -5 -6 "biosname.rom"
above is the command to force flash ur nvidia gc


4) if flash successful, reboot & try oc ur card again. (suggest u plug out the pendrive & dun chance the 1st boot device setting yet, coz later might hav to blind flash)
5) if flash fail o not compatible (no display), dun panic, ur pc actually still boot, wat u hav 2 do is blind flash. wait manbe half a minute, assume dat it edi boot the pendrive (just dat u cant see display), & den use force flash but dis time flash bck to ur ori bios.

edit: som typos
