Question : Is F32 the right bios for my card or have i flashed the wrong one. I believe there are two different bios's one for Samsung memory the other for Hynix memory. I have the Hynix memory version and was wondering if i have flashed the Samsung bios by mistake. Would i need to force flash. I have been trying your own overclocker Easy boost. Cheers Ian

Answer : Hi,
We have confirmed that F32 is the latest bios version according to the SN114301009619.
You dont have to update bios.
About overclock issue , we suggest download the latest easyboost version 1.08 and set shader clock= 2* GPU clock , then press “Apply” button ,it will succeed

Question : Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have overclocked to Core 940 Shader 1880 Memory 2004. Anything higher and it will crash. The card is advertised 10%-30% overclocking ability. I can only achieve 4.4% which isnt even half of the minimum percentage decribed. Am i doing anything wrong or is it one of the batch of cards produced by you that have the problems when overclocking or playing Battlefield 3. If that is the case should i RMA the card as it is not performing as described. Cheers Ian

Answer : Hi,
Overclock ability has been decided by GPU core and GV-N560OC-1GI has been a overclock VGA card.
GTX 56TI GPU , original core clock is 822MHz, shade clock is 1644 MHz ,memory clock is 4000 MHz, and GV-N560OC-1GI ,factory core clock is 900MHz, shade clock is 1800MHz,merory clock is 4000MHz.
You could see that GV-N560OC-1GI is already a over clock card.
So we suggest use the card in factory clock model in order to get a steady performance.
In addition ,if the card works in un-stable state for a long time ,the life cycle of the card will be shortened.
Even though it says on the box and in the specs the 10% - 30% overclocking ability has already been applied at the factory.
What do you guys think/ are they dodging the issues with alot of the 560ti cards or is this normal practice. Any advice would be helpful. Cheers Ian
