Which firmware update would apply to EVGA GeForce GTX 670 SC 2GB ?
My card is the superclocked version (non FTW). Don't want to brick it using the wrong bios upgrade.

use your part number not model number and you will see if or what one to use

Just logged to say that I'm finally able to cross de 1202+ MHz line. I couldn't even play 3-4 mins of 1202 Mhz without crashing immediately with a driver not responding, even if temps were staying around 70C and even less.

I'm hoping that it will stay this way!

That's great.  Wish I could say the same.  I have 1 card that will OC to 1280 stable while my 2nd card only to 1189.  As soon as I move up to that 1202 mark, crash...  And I've had at least 3 different bios revisions, maybe 4, I lost count.  All with the same result.

 
Well nevermind I spoke too soon. It is not more stable than before. It is the same. Don't listen to me!

Just wondering why there haven't been any updates for the 680s and so many for the 670s? Are the cards that much different or are the 670s just junk that NVidia keeps trying to fix with bios updates?

Bios change all threw a cards life of production,minor changes on the card memory etc.The initial run (a small amount) had a small issue ,other then that they are fine.The 670 is a whole different beast then a  680 and the issues were never needed to be fixed as they only happened at the launch of the 670's.

I downloaded the firmware, ran the update.
The update fails because it can't find a compatible card??!!
The nVidia System Info says:
GeForce GTX 670
Device ID 10DE 1189 26753842
Part Number: 2004 0005
Video BIOS: 80.04.19.00.70
Dedicated video memory: 2048 MB GDR5
 
GPU-Z sez:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
GPU GK104, Rev A2
Device 10DE-1189, Subvendor EVGA (3842)
 
So... why is this card not recognized???

I was getting very weird transient freezes of Windows 8 when GPU folding and since moving to v80.04.5C (and the latest 320.00 beta drivers btw) they seem gone!

so. one more question.....how do I know which one to use?  I have a board with uefi

A bit puzzled by this discussion. I've never had problems with the EVGA BIOS and UEFI nor secure boot:
 

 
That's with 80.04.5C now, but same thing with the previous version. What exactly is the UEFI problem you're having?

no problem, I flashed to the new bios (non-uefi) and wanted to make sure it would not screw up anything.  I have built many pc's, but have never flashed a gpu bios.

Actually there's a UEFI GOP version of the BIOS which allows to disable the BIOS' compatibility mode (CSM) and operate entirely in UEFI mode. This in turn allows for Windows' fast boot. Windows fast boot enables hybrid sleep so when you shut down your computer Windows hibernates (programs shut down first though). This results in about 2 sec Windows boot times on my SSD. On the other hand shutdown is a tad slower.
