Hello,
I'm new here and pretty new to EVGA but I seem to have had no such luck with this bios update.
I flashed my 4GB 670 GTX SC yesterday and the flash completed successfully.  I rebooted and was playing games like Anno 2070, Warcraft, Rage, CS:GO all day and the card performed great.
One thing I did notice is that using Adaptive Vsync from the control panel no longer worked e.g. WoW and CS GO were running at 150+fps and maxing out my card to 99% of it's usage.  Enabling Vsync in game fixed these issues though.
Then around 8 hours after flash I went to launch CS:GO and my two screens blacked out and machine froze - next reboot all I get is what you'll see in the screenshots.
 
I can't find how to get a factory bios for this card officially through EVGA forums.  I don't want to deal with any 3rd party sites. I've created a support ticket too - really hope I don't have to RMA this card and be without. :(
 
I can get into Safemode and from here uninstall the nvidia drivers.  This allows me to log into Windows and can apply the flash, however after rebooting I can only get back in via Safemode because the drivers install for the display adapter automatically.
 

Seems to work great so far

Anyone know where I can get my hands on a stock firmware for an EVGA 4GB 670 GTX SC before I send it off for RMA?  I just want to try once more.
 
I don't want to unlock clock speeds or fan usage, just revert it back to normal.

Just about everyone in this forums agrees the cards should not get above 67C...I'd say you have something going on with your set up...

agreed i dont even get passed those temps

Just got my new 670 FTW, played everything well, except when i started something really demanding like crysis 2 on ultra or skyrim 2 with all eye candy. All of a sudden, some minutes into the game, the screen goes black. The game crashes but the sound goes on. I have to quit the game via task manager then.
 
Updated this BIOS and now i can play about one hour before this happens. The problem is still not completely gone though... any ideas? Do i have a defective unit?

when up dating the frimware or bios
i f i have  267 sc 4b card in sli is it better to up date 1 card at a time
like should i take 1 card out.

I just got my 670 today, and started Skyrim up and played about 5 mins myself before I got artifacting and crashed.  I'm still looking for answers myself.  I'm using the latest driver 9.18.13.602. 
 
Like others I updated the firmware to this 80.04.31.00.70 and now boots with artifacts on splash screen and crashes after the Windows boot and loops.  I had to re install 285 to get into windows.
 
 
 

I just flashed my GTX 670 FTW and I get constant crashes playing games; starts with a black screen and leads to all fans go max speed until the machine reboots itself. This usually occurs 1 - 15 minutes in to gaming now. I'm using the latest beta drivers and 670 FTW bios update. I had to switch to my old 560 Ti or I would give exact driver versions.
 

I have one of the PNs mentioned specifically 020-P4-2670-KR. I also am attempting to install it in a Dell XPS 8300, one of the reasons for the firmware update.
 
I have now spent two days or so installing and uninstalling the board. I attempted the install according to the eliminate all previous graphic drivers, start clean approach, and then get a black screen on start-up. I read some more in the forums and then attempt another install which means I must uninstall the 670, re-install my old graphics card, make some recommended changes to the audio programs, etc., uninstall my old graphics card and drivers again, to then re-install the 670 and end up with a black screen again. I have been through this exercise probably 8 times trying various recommendations over the last two days.
 
Now we are talking about a firmware update and want to try that, but I am unsure how to run a firmware update with the 670 installed and looking at a black screen. This has been an exercise on installing a graphics card and making changes to the system while blind. Any help would be greatly appreciated as at this point I am losing my will to live. LOL

Hello all,
I am an unlucky XPS 8300 owner. 2 Weeks ago I bought an MSI 670 card not knowing about how annoyingly stubborn that Dell is and attempted to install the new card and came up with the black screen (NEVER buying Dell again). No one was able to troubleshoot my PC until I ran into this thread. 2 Weeks later here I am still running my old POS nvidia graphics card and waiting for my new eVGA GTX670 FTW card to arrive from newegg. I am quite nervous and excited at the same time.
 
My question mainly revolves around whether or not the card currently shipped with the new VBIOS that will enable it to run on my xps 8300. If it shipped with that new VBIOS then fantastic, but what if it didn't ship with the updated VBIOS? What can I do here? I do not have a spare computer to install a new VBIOS unfortunately. Is there any solution for me if it isn't preinstalled with the new VBIOS?
