Hi dudes, I modded my 680 lightning some time ago to the grid k2, just by popping off 2 resistors.
Worked fine back then, these days though there's newer drivers that block the ability to have the k2 to use dual link dvi timings.
It's stuck with single link timings.
There's a new bios for the k2 to fix this and I managed to get my hands on it.
I even managed to get the ram amount change from 4 gigs to 2 gigs thanks to this thread yet again
.
However I have one more obstacle, the k2 bios has no display output.
Anyone happen to know how mod this into the bios?
I've also got a 2nd card just sitting collecting dust ready to be modded.
But I don't wanna mess with it until I can get past this prob.
Latest usable driver for the modded k2 is 319.92.
320.xx and above all have the single link dvi timing problem.
Sucks because I got a 144hz monitor, if I use reduce timings I can get it around I think it was 68hz max lol.
If anyone wants the real grid k2 bios just say so.
It's actually one of 2 bios'es, since the real k2 is a dual pcb and dual bios card.
Came from ibm.
I've seen mention about the k5000 having the same abilities as the k2, is that true?
If that is the case I should figure out how to mod my cards into the k5000 instead.
Right now I'm kind of sick of this issue.
I've been wanting to sli my cards since last dec.
I tried the different sli patch that doesn't work for trying to sli a k2 with a 680 lol.
Though I did not try sli'ing the 680m with the 680, I didn't learn how the soft straps worked until recently (I can mod my k2 into the 680m with soft straps, but that doesn't fix the dvi timing issues).
Though I've known about them since the 6800 ultra and 6600 gt's.
Anyways to put it simply, need a mod to re-enable display's on a card that originally should not have them to begin with.
