NVClock 0.8 Beta 2 Released

[Michael]

Hi Michael,

The past couple of months I have been extremely busy with my study and other things. I also didn't have much time for NVClock or Wine hacking.

Recently I had some time to fix up NVClock and today I'm happy to announce a new beta. The version contains all the bugfixes, rewrites and other changes from the past couple of months.

More information can be found on http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock

# Support for ADT7473/W83781D sensors
# PCI id modding support (Quadro faking)
# Temperature reading fixes for internal sensor
# Fanspeed adjustment fixes for NV3x/NV4x boards
# Pipeline modding fixes
# Bios parsing fixes
# Improved (experimental) lowlevel overclocking / clock reading for NV4x/G7x boards

I love this program, it's awesome! Glad to hear the author didn't forget about it.

GPU clock:      8.883 MHz

Any idea why the GPU clock is toying with me?

[Michael]

Can you post the debugging output from NVClock for your card? (-D if I recall correctly, otherwise just look at the help)

What BIOS version is on your eVGA 7800GT? (Is the card a stock one or a CO variant or what)

I'll redirect Roderick to this page right now; I believe some users had reported this problem in the past.

[Rob Williams]

Ahh yes. My BIOS was one that a friend made... he mainly increased the voltage. So maybe that's why. Of course I forgot about that =/

Are you sure that you are really using version 0.8 beta2? I ask this because the problem shouldn't appear in beta2 anymore as it got fixed. There's no way it can appear.

I did some quick check on the source and this really is beta1 because beta2 shows some more lines in its debug output when you run -D. Upgrade to the latest version

[Rob Williams]

Bah, sorry. I didn't notice the '2' in the title, so I did use 0.8b.

localhost bin # ./nvclock -s

Much better. Sorry for the hassle
