    I modded the inf file like in AW18. There I have sound with the same driver. But not in m6700. I think it is the sound driver from the m6700 which don‘t work.
    First benchmark run with Superposition hung on the half.

    Sound issue is probably unrelated to the rtx 3000, did you managed to run superposition with the card on the M6700 ? Can you dump the video bios of the card please ?

    Second run worked, but the clock stays at 945MHz in idle

    this is really weird, what about the clock during the run ? this idle clock is either because of incorrect inf mod or because of vbios incompatibility, but if you try another vbios, please dump it and share it before, I can't find this vbios anywhere else.

    UPDATE GPU-Z TOO, the version you are using was released like a few days before the RTX 3000 release date so it may have compatibility issue..

    edit : It's about 30% faster than my P4000 which score 7931 on the same benchmark

    The clock at the run is in the boost clock or more. I don‘t flash another VBios without a programmer. It’s too dangerous.
    In AW18 it works fine like I Said with the same modded inf file. And via HDMI I get sound with the RTX.

    Update your GPU-Z, I think it is not monitoring well the card because it's not supported.
    you can still dump the vbios with no risk like that :

    Video is not working. And the updated GPU-Z also shows 945MHz. Dumping yes but not flashing

    But the most important thing at the moment is to get this Fu...ing sound working

    Sound is now working. It can‘t work with no speaker installed :)
    And core clock now steps back to 300MHz

    Oh, I don‘t know
    Max 945MHz? It’s in AW18 and M6700 at 1380-1400~ MHz
    It works, only thing now is modding the Heatsink
