    First of all, explain what methods you've tried and failed?

    1. GPUZ?
    2. NiBiTor?

    hi there, ive used GPUZ to pull the stock bios out and saved as a .bin file (ive read to do .rom but it wont allow me to, keeps its as bin even if i rename it) then imported it into nbitor which it does successfully using the bin file but the all the clock speeds are dramatically off 22k+. So not really sure where to go from here....i dont want to go the software route....i use to have the older g50 with 9800m and had no issues.

    "nvflash -b OLDBIOS.ROM"

    He has no problems extracting the BIOS. He has already done so in GPU-Z so it is unnecessary to do extract a second copy in nvFlash. What he means is that he is unable to get NiBiTor to correctly read the values on his GPU BIOS. steadfast9661. I started the revolution beginning with post #13. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=5179362

    Yes, that is correct. Your factory clocks should be 500/1250/800 @ 0.95v.

    Yes, you need to save the BIOS with the original ID. Whenever you reload the BIOS on NiBiTor, it will always show up funny, so you will need to repeat the process each time you open your BIOS.

    You can use this as a starting point beginning with post #1037. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=401345&page=104

    ya, i nailed it- thanks! as a side note even with cpu oc at 2.5 the video card is clearly more powerful than the CPU and wanting more power to push it.
