    Does anyone have this "Clevo 680m - 80.04.33.00.10_'OCedition'_revised_01 - OV 1025v.zip" handy so I don't have to post 5 times over at techinferno to download it?

    Or, is that the only way to get this file?

    It;s the only way it should be available, though are you sure you want a clevo bios on your dell card?

    I was giving a link to download the OCedition with stock voltage and my card was purchased from a 3rd party. Everyone seemed to be talking like it was a Clevo card. i was curiouse myself because in Nvidia Inspector under subvender it says my card is a Dell. Should i be looking for the Dell version then?

    My bios now is the ".10 OCedition" as apposed to the ".32 OCedition" Maybe you can shed some light on this for me.

    It's a 4GB "Clevo" card, don't flash using a dell vbios 2GB. There's a lot of work behind those VBIOSs, you only need to participate with 5 posts.

    What's the easiest way to confirm that I do for sure have a Clevo card and not a Dell card. other than the fact that I have a Clevo bios flashed right now.

    Lol, I suppose that would be the easiest way to tell. So, is this true that I have to post in order to get a hold of this OC+OV file? or is it possible to get the file from someone whiling to help out and post it here?

    Pop some posts on there, learn a bit and away you go as there will likely be more interesting files there in future.

    Working on it. It's hard to think of anything to post when you're put on the spot to post when all you want to do is download. :p

    It's the only way. I even requested another bios with more voltage and donated some money to the author for his hard work.

    Not sure if this was for HaloGod2012 or myself.

    My 680m is not from Dell. I bought it from eurocom, on Ebay.

    I think it is not, we offer no 4GB 680m cards. Just to provide an official word on that.

    Yeah, just be careful that later versions can interfere with inter system compatibility of the cards ;)

    Thats funny, I bought a 680m from Dell tech support and they sent a "blue" refurb card and its a 4GB card. The things a piece of junk though and they are swapping it out.
