The 780 Classified Backplate will indeed for the Ti Classified.

Are you using the stock bios, Ln2 bios, or an updated bios from EVGA? if you are using the original Ln2 bios that came with the card, I would Highly suggest sending EVGA tech support an email and request the modified option bios. This bios allows a pot more head room and stability to be attained.

 
Awesome.
 
I have all BIOSes at stock.  I asked for the updated / modified BIOS and was told by Eduardo H. that it wasn't needed unless I had an EVBot, and when I emailed Chris in re: to it, I was basically ignored.  It's my one sticking point with EVGA because I want to try the BIOS to see if it helps (in any way) with my card's poor OCs (It won't go past 1229 max boost).

Your Answer:

Hello,
I've attached both the stock and LN2 BIOS versions for this card. These would be what typically ship flashed onto BIOS 1 and 2 respectively. They have been renamed to allow sending through our servers. You will need to rename the file extension to a .zip, save and then extract normally. Then just go in the folder and run the update.exe file. It's recommended to first close out any background programs. Please keep in mind there is risk involved any time you flash the firmware on a device, and be sure to not power off the system or interrupt the process in any way until it is completely finished.

Your Question:

Hello.

My name is Jason Ganz, and I'm writing to request the EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified Optional BIOS.
My GPU Serial # is *edited for security*

If any other info is needed with regard to the GPU, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Thanks,

I then wrote back and got this

Your Answer:

Hello, 

The original post on that thread that was linked, mentioned that the Optional BIOS that is available from EVGA is to fix the compatibility with an EVBot device which we sold at one time for overclocking.   

The specific post you referenced, points to another forum where they are discussing customer modified BIOS versions written by a 3rd party.  EVGA does not have any customer BIOS like the ones discussed there.  If you decide to flash one of these custom BIOS versions from a 3rd party, then you do so at your own risk.  

The only BIOS version that we currently have on file, were already emailed to you.  I do apologize, but there is no other BIOS for the 780 Ti Classified that are available from EVGA at this time.

Your Question:

isn't there a third BIOS, as seen here: http://forums.evga.com/Optional-BIOS-for-GTX-780-Ti-Classified-and-GTX-780-Ti-Classified-KNGPN-cards-m2105132-p3.aspx

that can be flashed for the 780 Ti Classified?

Hello, 
I want to try the "Fixed LN2 BIOS".  My GPU won't overclock past 1098 / 1163 in Precision X.  I want to try this "fixed" BIOS to see what happens.
 
My SN is *edited for security*  (GTX 780 Ti Classified - non-Kingpin)
 
I have the tools needed to flash the bios. 
 
Thanks
 
Jason
