I am not familiar with those bios markings so I cant say based on just bios version which cards are locked or not.Learn more about the Sapphire Tech 100418NT+8GSEL Model Brand Also seems that there is a lot of different bios versions in the cards based on gpu-z screenshots. It might be only the bios but I guess cards could use even different components. So clearly there is something different between the cards. Also one little interesting thing: The cards which are not being voltage locked seem to be able to use msi afterbutner to read and tweak the voltage.

I also tried with exactly with the same versions of drivers and gpu tweak as fellow 7970 DCII TOP card owner just to see my voltage still being locked and other card was not.

#Sapphire trixx older install#

I've personally tried so many different versions of radeon drivers, asus gpu tweak, sapphire trixx, msi afterburner and even did clean install of windows 7 and windows 8 consumer preview but with no affect. One can just hope asus will fix this sooner than later.

The card just is voltage locked at least with current software or card bios version. That basically means that they recognize that there is some problem with the voltage being locked! At the end though I'm sure you're tried and done everything like one should. It is at least a bit promising that the tech support had suggested you to try different things. It would be a real shame if no solution could be found. That was about two weeks ago and I haven't heard anything back yet.

In the end I had to fill out a tech support document with lots of serial numbers and so on, with a promise that they would forward it to their main tech guys. They suggested quite trivial stuff like 'did you unlock extended overclocking?', disabling OC in CCC and trying their most recent version of GPU Tweak. However, since my first post I had frequent email contact with Asus Tech support. It's kind of good to hear that there are other people with the same problem, on the other hand it's quite sad there are some examples of asus' top cards that seem to be limited. Should it even work? Yes or no? Ref-cards with worse cooling can do it but these can't?Д®DIT: And yes, I have tried unlocking the GPU-Voltage lock. A simple answer from them on the voltage issue would have been nice. True but it wouldn't hurt to check in on how their customers actually fare with their products. Advance toggle is activated as well as the Range-box in settings. The rest of us are just normal folks like you who visit here and help out other users. The official ASUS staff all have the after their names. There are a couple of guys who work for ASUS motherboards who are here but none from the graphic card side of things.

Sorry guys but I do not have a DCII to test actually do not have any ASUS graphic cards of the seven series at all so a bit stuck.ДЄs to official ASUS representation on this forum. I assume you have enabled the advanced toggle bottom left hand side :) Just click on the image of the lock and it will allow you to independently move the two sliders. I have a week left for returns so I have the time but not the patience. I really feel like returning this card right now but I will try to wait at least one more day. No matter what I tried to do with it nothing actually happened: It was covering the Apply, Cancel, Default buttons as well. I have however got an interesting 'Power Target %' but it doesn't seem to do anything and is propably a result from a bug or something. I even tried flicking the BIOS-switch again and nothing. Interesting comment considering how they have prepared the card for LN2 cooling and that all ref-cards actually can use up to at least 1250 mV. I emailed Asus as well, but didn't get a reply yet. Still, if you get a better response, share it. However if you want to set higher voltages use other tools' - so yeah, I bet many other manufacturers are only happy to include the design and control of an asus custom pcb and VRMs into their program code. On another forum with some other guy who has the same problem as we do and the already got an answer from Asus, basically saying 'screw you if wanna go past this fantastically low value which is far below any dangerous voltage.
