A couple questions:
 
1.  I just bought a 780 TI 03G-P4-2887-KR.  There are comments from people that successfully loaded the 2888 bios onto the card with higher clocks.
2.  Where can video card bios and the flash be found on the EVGA site?  I can't find any gfx card bios at all.
3.  Is there any benefit to loading a new bios over just overclocking the card?
 
Thanks!

    2. You will most likely have to look here for this vBIOS you seek. Use NVFlash v5.165 to flash your card.
    3. You won't have to constantly mess with the overclocking software.

    I think you can flash successful special because 2 BIOS. If you do that try in LN2 position.
    But what will happen next depend of silicon.

    Hi same here I just bought same 780 TI 03G-P4-2887-KR. How do I go about flashing the bios to the one my card will be able to handle? Sorry I'm new to flashing bios and I don't want to ruin my investment. I understand I need to use NVFlash but how do I pick what bios to flash onto my card from the link you provided? ()

    These two files you need if you want to flash GTX780Ti Classified Reference Edition in Real Classified...
    One 00 is Normal and other 01 is LN2 BIOS...
     

     
    Normal

    Which bios from these 2 would be beneficial? 
    Also quick question, I have another GTX 780 ti but it's SC edition. Are those possible to change bios? For overclocking capabilities?

    Don't flash Normal BIOS, leave your default.
    Before BIOS Flashing you should move switch in position LN2... 
    And flash this BIOS LN2...

    More explanation about GTX780Ti Classified you have here.
    http://www.overclock.net/t/1411500/official-evga-classified-owners-club
     
    I'm don't know for GTX780Ti Superclocked but I suppose on hundreds pages on overclock.net have some explanation and advice for GTX780Ti SC model. That's reference board with higher clock. 980MHz model with Turbine and 1006MHz ACX Model.

    To answer your FIRST question, the "00" bios should ALWAYS be your "normal" BIOS.  This BIOS, serves as a 'fail-safe' BIOS in the event that an OC, or a bad flash, causes your card to not behave.  The "01" BIOS is for the LN2 BIOS.  IF, you wanted to flash a BIOS, you would put the 01 BIOS onto the LN2 slot of your GPU.  To do this, you have to flick the switch to "LN2" and use NVFlash to flash the BIOS.  Jayztwocents has an EXCELLENT video on how to BIOS Flash.  See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6vjBwtSvCQ
     
    As for your 780 Ti SC, there are BIOSes out there that will unlock things (search google to find the appropriate forums and threads that house OC BIOSes, I'm not risking membership to link to another forum from here since I'm not sure doing so would violate the ToS).  My concern though is that whereas the 780 Ti Classified is completely non-reference (cooler, PCB, etc.,), the 780 Ti SC is a non-reference cooler on a reference board.  Once it's flashed, it's possible to send 600w-plus through the GPU and overheat the GPU and potentially cook the CPU (see the issues with high-power GPUs such as the R9 295X2, which requires 2 8-pins like a classy, but from 2 different modular cable wires because it consumes 500w on its own vs. the 375w of PCI-E / ATX spec that a classy can consume stock on double-8's). 
     
    It's doable, but I would ONLY flash on LN2 BIOS, and I would be careful with using a 3rd Party BIOS if you have any reservations on your ability to reverse the flash or fix the GPU if something goes wrong.

    I don't understand why people make complication for flash card with two BIOS.
    Only complicate with 10 different commands and process.
    OK if you need to flash two cards and ...
    But simply
     
    save original BIOS with GPU-Z just in case.
    extract NVFlash for Windows in drive C:\ nvflash folder, and BIOS xxx.rom file in same folder and pull with mouse BIOS file in NVFlash.exe. 
    and when ask only type command Y, when everything finish restart and re-installation driver.
    Or with CMD Promt
    nvflash -4 -5 -6 GK110.rom (if BIOS file is GK110)

    Just a FYI, I flashed mine over after I tested it so that it would match the other 2 that I already owned.  I had NO issues with it.  Holler if you need help!
