From what I've read the FTW BIOS supports +130% power target over the stock +120%. Has anyone tried flashing the FTW BIOS to their Founders?

    Do not flash an FTW bios on a founders edition. The hardware is different and if you brick your FE, you could be enjoying a paperweight or paying to have it repaired.

    Flashing a ftw vbios to a fe card could brick the fe card. It would be like flashing a sc vbios to a classified card.

    Any way to go past 1.093v yet? Outside of a hardware Vmod

    Monitor the true voltage. I made a video recently showing that software voltage is incorrect.

    There isn't a way to flash custom vbioses to the 1080/1070's. So no.

    That doesn't appear to be true.

    Sajin, which post are you pointing towards? I don't follow. The only posts in your link are related to a 980ti and a 970m on someones laptop.

    Sorry I linked the wrong post. #647 & #648. People have been able to flash stock vbios but not custom ones.

    Be aware, you don't have the same voltage measuring points that the Classified has. You would need a true hard point to measure. I can not tell you where that is.

    Ok cool. That makes more sense. I'll dig through the thread more.
