Yes, you should be able to use the evga uefi vbios on both cards. You won't be able to update the asus card with the evga tool. You'll need to save the vbios from the evga card once it has been updated to the uefi vbios and use nvflash to update the asus 690. Saving the vbios from the evga card can also be done using nvflash.

The jpeg i add is to show the bios version of the evga card like u know there is 2
Cpu on each card....
I think i will remove asus card for the update and after do the same for the evga just to prevent bug( will use the nvflash for the asus)
Not sure about the saving vbios ?? What those it mean? Need to save something after the update?

You'll need to save the vbios from the evga card after it has been updated so you can flash the updated evga uefi vbios to the asus card. Make sure to backup the original vbios from the asus card as well. The command for backing up the vbios via nvflash is... nvflash --save vbios-name.rom. Vbioses will be stored inside nvflash folder under the name you gave it.

ok so if i understand the vbios-save is only to flash the asus one via nvflash?(that mean i can flash any card with a saved vbios with nvflash tool?) i just found the asus tool to upgrade to uefi should i use it for the asus one ?maybe i will got 2 différentes version and it will create bug on the sli? maybe its better to use evga tool and save the vbios and use the same vbios for the asus? im just trying to get the best option

Yes, to the nvflash questions. Use the evga/asus tools to update the cards if you have them.

Remove the older what vbios? no. It will be overwritten with the new vbios.

Hmm. Strange that it didn't flash both. Looks like you may be using nvflash after all.
