That's a good thread, and on the second page someone asked about a BFG 5900NU.

Have you thought about doing the Bios flash first?

From what I heard, flashing a 5900nu to a 5950 BIOS should raise the volts on the RAM byitself. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Don't know about nV memory voltage control, but I am fairly sure that the core voltage is controllable by BIOS/Software, as it is reported to change when you go from desktop to 3d apps. Do nVidia FX cards have memory voltage adjustment?

L337 M33p, they have 3d voltage/clocks and 2d voltage/clocks.

It adjusts the core voltage +.1V for 3d.

The bios flas raises the ramvolts slightly, but A vmod would IMO be easier.

Why doesn't someone look into the difference between the 5900's and 5950's bios and see what changes. I have read the the timing on the memory or somthing changes also. Maybe someone can take a few different bios and make 2 or 3 for different setting's.

1. 1.5gpu\2.75 mem 425\900

2 1.55gpu\2.8 mem 450\950

3 1.6 gpu\2.85 mem 500\1000

And see if they cant get a better timing setting if there is any in the bios.

The 5900XT's have better Ram timings, someone might try flashing thier 5900NU/U with a 5900XT bios and see if they gain anything.
