I'm guessing this thread is expected to be AMD, but GTX 1060-1070ti are also GDDR5, has anyone made leeway there?

I seem to find that the expected timing enhancements do not bring much enhancement. GDDR5X has been a lot more interesting but i suppose that would be OT.

AFAIK Nvidia timings are not changeable, be it GDDR5 or GDDR5X

I was under the same impression until some time ago. I thought its possible to have something in the works, and it turns out i was correct to myself. It is not possible for the public. There are some stuff, which are confidential and allow some sort of control.

Of course, I didn't say its impossible, but keys are distributed to card manufacturers and probably under very strict NDA

Those card makers have to be able to program their cards firmware, after all Smiley

I'm very curious about this. But I think it wont bee available to common users.

It can be a new biosmod revolution

OhGodACompany has solution to edit and make nvidia bios mods and could thus sell mods, the first problem is the hardware can reject the change. And to actually hardware flash it you need a eeprom hardware flasher and the onboard security can refuse to load the bios, as in soft brick it/refuse to boot GPU. This is because the signature included in whatever bios you modded this in does not allow/include the mod as valid. Our mod is considered as invalid or corrupted.

Mind you this is a problem for GTX cards, not the mining cards.

The second problem:

Not even 10-20% on an 1060?
That would be also worth it.

Not even, Unlike AMD, Nvidia's timings are really good already and are already using more bandwidth % than most AMD modded RX 400-500! I think i got something like +0.2~0.3 MH/s on a GTX 1070, it's really not impressive.
