Greetings forum members ,

I had no hand in creating the patched atikmdag.sys , it is all Lordkag of Fernando's Win-Raid forum work .

My only contribution is contacting Lordkag for another issue I needed help solving with Fiji custom ROM and asking if he knew of a fix to allow custom ROM usage on Polaris.

IIRC and what I understand, he has highlighted the permanent solution would entail driver/patch being signed and no need to disable driver signing in OS to use the patch. I have no ETA on when this would occur.

I would kindly & respectfully ask members using the Lordkag patched atikmdag.sys to make a donation on Fernando's Win RAID forum as way of thanks & appreciation for the help.

Here is link to Polaris bios editor, there are threads on OCN, Reddit, etc by author/users with interest in bios mod. Now we can use it thanks to Lordkag patch on driver and AFAIK the patch is for atikmdag.sys for Windows 10 driver.

All the best

Memory voltage (ie MVDDC) can not changed by bios modification.

IR3567B on Hawaii / Grenada controls VDDC (core) / VDDCI (aux) only.

Only cards which allow software manipulation of MVDDC "out of the box" are Asus 290X Matrix and MSI 290X Lightning, which I don't think most would buy here given the context of use on this forum. So far I have not seen any R9 300 series cards with MVDDC "out of the box".

MVDDC can only be changed with "hard vmod", google the terms 290x mods - kingpincooling.com 1st hit is correct link, in 1st post 1st link is document showing "hard vmod". In this post by The Stilt you'll see it may yield you only small power usage drop.

Simply put:-

In all stock ROMs only DPM 0 is manually set VID, so in your example you see 900 (DEC) and unit is mV.

DPM 1 - 7 in all stock ROMs is "auto calculated" VID, the numbers 6528x represents that, the last digit is basically ID of DPM.

Also note in ROM we are setting VID , what we see in software monitoring is VDDC. VID is what the GPU is set to, VDDC is realtime voltage, this will variate due to PowerTune tech / LoadLine Calibration.

All good mate  , I lurk here on and off and hadn't been here in a while. Then when I saw this and didn't recognise user name I thought I'd been hacked  .

Cool , I thought somehow I'd been hacked  as I was reading 2 members posting things that only 1 could know  , then I thought perhaps their friends. So I thought I gotta register and ask  .


Hmmm, I'll just have to not reply  . Been off and on lurking here, mainly to read things the Stilt has posted TBH.

No worries   , I also appreciated your participation.

So Eliovp = ldw-com?




No worries .

Hmmm .... seems like I wasn't the first to create/release these ROMs?  .

WOW, I'm thinking these are my words  .
