Interesting that the 670 series has so many firmware updates. Why so many for the 670s and not as many for the  680s?

o wow! ... will give it a shot soon.

In an SLI system, do I need to remove a card, apply the update, then swap cards, and apply the second update?  
 
For reference, I have one stock card and one SC card.

In the example you used, it said bios fw version 80.04.31.00.72. When I updated my 670 and restarted my pc it said the bios fw version listed 80.04.31.00.70. Even though the example ended with "72" and mine ended with "70", does that mean my card still updated?? 

iGamer4tv yes your card's BIOS has been updated correctly.

Can you update both your cars at once if you have them in SLI?

Can you update both your cars at once if you have them in SLI?

I have three 670's (vanilla) in SLI.  I didn't remove the bridge.  Just followed the instructions, launched the program and the program prompted me to update each card (three prompts in this case).  Worked great.
