Im having no luck with the new bios. I would appreciate it GREATLY if a mod could send me a copy of the vs 80.04.31.00.70 for the 4gb Sc. I thought I had it saved on my computer, can't find it...the newest bios keeps locking up my computer at the same clocks I used previously. Thanks!

I have two EVGA GTX 670 SC+ 4GB in SLI in a system I upgraded a few days ago (new HD, CPU, RAM and new, clean install of Win7 64-bit with all updates also) and I am getting artifacts on my desktop (pieces of old windows, dialog boxes and pop-ups left behind). They go away if I do anything that overwrites that screen location, such as a selection drag, or move a window, etc. It occurs mostly in the gadget tray area, but also sometimes along the top of my taskbar.
 
There are no artifacts in games (DX9, 10 or 11) that I can discern.
 
Also, I have had this problem before on the taskbar (I was not using gadgets so I don't know about the gadget tray) with my old GTX 470 SLI pair, never updated the video card BIOS.
 
Will this update get rid of my artifacts, or is there something else I need to do?

I, too, am wondering why there's no 80.04.4B update for the 670 SC.....

Hi I have searched and cannot find this problem in the thread.  I have a 670 FTW. GPU-Z screen:

When I try to run Update.exe, it says something about searching for compatible devices, then gives this error:
"no display adapters were found that are compatible with this update"
It goes so fast, I had to click it several times to figure out what the message said before the terminal window closed.  Can anyone shed light on this issue?
 
Edit: I just noticed some strange behavior.  I installed Assassin's Creed last night and the setup program seemed to think that I have a 4GB card.  I definitely have a 2GB, didn't even know the 4GB existed when I purchased it.  I ran dxdaig, and it also thinks that I have a 4GB card.  Strange..
 
2nd Edit: Sorry guys, just figured out my problem.  I called EVGA support to ask about this and had to look up my serial number.  When I pulled that up, I realized that I actually have the 'LE' card and not the regular FTW.  IMHO it's kind of crappy that the LE even exists, but I digress.  Problem solved!  Still don't understand why dxdiag shows 2x my actual video memory..  Intel HD graphics helping out perhaps?

noticed some weird behavior in terms of boosting.

My max boost clock is 1163mhz at stock, but it won't get there unless it hits 63-64c with TDP peaking 100% - 104%, with my current fan profile it barely hits 61c while playing BF3, Skyrim Modded.  But if I change my fan profile to allow those games to reach mid 63c/64c/65c/66c the card will boost to 1163mhz.  Otherwise it's 1150mhz at the most.


Finally I've found someone else who sees this behaviour, I have exactly the same situation with 1 of my SC+ cards. It's freaking weird that nobody has been able to explain this. It's happened across all vBIOS and driver updates. For me it ticks over once the temps get to 62+ degrees.

I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW Signature II (seems to be relatively unknown, but from what I can tell it is basically a FTW with 2 fans instead of 1).  I purchased it in the UK.
 
I cannot get the BIOS update to work.  It flashes up for a moment, and from what I can tell it says it cannot find a card.
 
The current BIOS reported by GPU-Z is:
80.04.31.00.70 (P2004-0005).
 
Device ID:
10DE-1189
 
Subvendor:
EVGA (3842)
 
I tried the FTW bios, and I think I tried the FTW LE too, but no joy.
 
Can anyone help?

There is no BIOS update in this thread for the 670 Sig2, product code 02G-P4-3677-KR. Is there a particular reason you want to update the BIOS on this card?

I was under the impression that it is exactly the same as the GTX 670 FTW, except with a different fan arrangement.  The bios is likely to be exactly the same, perhaps with a few tweaks for said difference.
 
I wanted to update for the same reason everyone else has; the purported stability enhancements.  The update wouldn't exist if there was not any enhancements or fixes.
 
If there is no bios update for my card, then fine - I just wasn't sure if there was something I was doing wrong and thought it was worth checking.

If you are having stability issues, you can give it a shot, but if that BIOS update doesn't detect your card as valid for it...I'd trust the updater and not try to force it. While it could work, it could also mess up your card.
