We have has just released a new version of NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) software. NiBiTor is the original and definitive BIOS tweaker that supports the latest NVIDIA graphics cards, and which is updated on a regular basis. NiBiTor allows graphics card enthusiasts, or the hardcore overclockers to have full control over some advanced features and functionality found on firmware of supporting cards. And doing so users gain some extra performance, enable certain hidden features, tweaking memory latencies, provide extensive information, adapt bootup settings, changing fan speed options and/or get extra stability on their NVIDIA based graphics accelerators which will just give them that little extra value.

For those who already own one of these just released GeForce GTX 560 graphics cards, don’t dispere but make a donation and we will grant you exclusively the next version which does support these already. Also the fan speed that can be tweaked by changing the minimum and maximum settings, so we did get that also already fully unlocked. And yes, we are now working to add other tweaks by analyzing more original BIOS’s which you can provide us. Do you own one of these Fermi based graphics cards and want to tweak it according to your liking through some BIOS changes, than don’t wait any longer but download it now.

Changes in this Version

• Added GeForce GTX 580
• Added GeForce GTX 570
• Added GeForce GT 140
• Added GeForce GTX 460M
• Added GeForce GT 240M

This new version is build upon the logic of the previous version, with some minor fixes and a redesign to support as well unknown devices in some limited way. As always for extra features, settings and support please provide us your original BIOS, so that we can use it as reference to analyze the changes and to code the approriate support of the new video card or new features accordingly.

EVGA Precision v2.0.2

• Fixed issue in the context help system causing it to display wrong floating tooltips when hovering cursor over the controls under certain conditions
• EVGA On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 4.0.0. New version gives you the following improvements:
  • Reduced On-Screen Display rendering related CPU performance hit due to more effective geometry batching in On-Screen Display 3D rendering mode codepath
  • Now EVGA On-Screen Display server supports RivaTuner’s user extendable localization system
  • Screenshot compression library SaveImage.dll has been replaced with more progressive SaveMedia.dll library providing unified screenshot and video encoding engine
  • JPEG screenshot quality settings are no longer power user oriented and can be adjusted directly from the client application GUI
  • Screen capture implementation is now multithreaded to minimize the impact on the game performance when saving screenshots on the systems with multicore CPUs
  • Text indication of screen capture events in the On-Screen Display has been replaced with graphics progress indicator
  • Fixed issues causing the On-Screen Display to be rendered in wrong colors in 3D mode in some multitextured Direct3D9 applications (e.g. several bumpmapping related samples from DirectX 9 SDK)
  • Updated profiles list
• Added option allowing hiding On-Screen Display on captured screenshots
• Reduced hardware polling time on multi-GPU systems due to cached GPU context switching in hardware monitoring module
• All synchronization mutexes have been moved from local to global namespace
• Added programmable alarm system allowing the Precision to play alarm sound when any monitored parameter is out of range defined by user
• Localization reference guide documentation has been updated to v1.2

RBE is a tool which helps you with over-/underclocking and tuning your recent ATI video card. Unlike other programs as Rivatuner for example, RBE will provide a modified version of your video card’s original BIOS that you can flash upon your video card.
There is no installation required. Just download the RBE.exe and run it. There is just that one single file. No administrative privileges are required to run RBE.

Radeon Bios Editor v1.27

v 1.27

• Added volt modding capability for CHL8214 voltage controller (reference design 6870 and 6850 cards).
• Added volt modding capability for VT1556M voltage controller (reference design 6970 and 6950 cards).
• Changing DeviceID now changes both locations properly (hopefully) all the time.
• Changing VendorID should work in more cases now.
• Added some new DeviceIDs (6950/6970).
• Updated WinFlash link.
• Updated RBE’s internal BIOS extraction method to account for “ATI” labelled “AMD” now.
• Improved Hex editor interface a little.
• Fixed method 1 overdrive hacking signature extraction for 6xx0 cards. Only superficially tested due to no available non-reference signatures yet.

PowerStrip provides advanced, multi-monitor, programmable hardware support to a wide range of graphics cards – from the venerable Matrox Millennium I to recent AMD Radeon graphics. It is the only program of its type to support multiple graphics cards from multiple chipset vendors, simultaneously, under every Windows operating system from Windows 95 to the x64-bit edition of Windows 7. A simple menu that pops up from the system tray provides access to some 500 controls over your display hardware, including sophisticated color correction tools, period level adjustments over screen geometry, and driver independent clock controls. A powerful application profiler can detect when programs are launched and respond by activating specific display settings, gamma adjustments, performance switches and even clock speeds – returning everything to normal when the program closes. In-game gamma hotkeys let you light up the darkest hallways during game play, and hardware control over refresh rates – with floating point precision – ensure you’re never stuck at just 60Hz no matter what OS you’re using.

A quick setup wizard gets you up and running with minimal fuss, extensive context-sensitive help is available for all controls, and live updates are supported to ensure you’re always running the latest release. Finally, an assortment of system and productivity tools – among them, extensive diagnostics, PCIe and AGP device configuration, EDID decoding, desktop icon management, a system idle thread, Windows resource monitoring, an anti-burn-in orbiting option, physical memory optimization, an on-screen display, and the most advanced monitor support in the industry – round out the compact 1MB package.

Recently it became apparent that the Radeon HD 6950 in fact is a 6970 with shader processor clusters disabled. You’ll need to re-flash your card though. You can perform the flashing process from within Windows and het, thanks to AMD’s new Dual-BIOS feature if something would go wrong, you can switch back. We successfully tested an unlock on a HD 6950 cards. Other have tried one AMD engineering sample, one HIS media sample and one ASUS retail card. All of them unlocked perfectly and run at HD 6970 speeds now. Your graphics card needs to be a reference design sample.

The Download & instructions are courtesy of TechPowerup!

1. Grab ATI Winflash from here (32 & 64-bit).
2. Download HD 6970 BIOS. The Sapphire one I linked to will work on all reference design cards from any vendor.
3. Make sure the BIOS switch on the card is set to the 1 position (pictured further down if you don’t know where it is).
4. Run ATI Winflash, click Save to save your BIOS, so you have a backup in case something goes wrong.
5. Load the HD 6970 BIOS into Winflash by clicking Load Image, followed by Program.
6. Let the flashing process complete and reboot your system.
7. Check the shader count using GPU-Z, it should show 1536. Make sure you use the linked version of GPU-Z, the official 0.4.9 version does not support HD 6900 Series properly. If you see a shader count of 1600, your GPU-Z version is outdated and you should get the one from the link here.
8. To ensure maximized performance open Catalyst Control Center, go to the Overdrive tab and set the PowerTune slider to the +20% setting. The “Testing” section of this article has more data on that.
9. Check stability in Windows desktop applications and games.

If you get an error like ID mismatch or Could not erase ROM, then you’ll have to do some extra work in a Windows command prompt (or DOS): Run atiwinflash -unlockrom 0 followed by atiwinflash -f -p 0 bios.bin where bios.bin is the path and filename of the HD 6970 BIOS you downloaded.
