Obviously you should use "v80.04.31 02G-P4-2672-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked"" under "EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB:".
Or don't flash at all. Some ppl here seem to get problems.
 
I backed up my original BIOS first and are now trying the new one. No issues so far. About the same 3DMark 11 score and same temps. My card is running quite hot at 79-80C, but I'm using a HTPC-case and have a ambient temp of 27-29C. Toasty! I have reseated the cooler twice (just to make sure I got it right) with AC MX-2 but the temps are about the same as with stock thermal grease.

I've only seen the down-clock when my cards exceed 141% power usage during OC scanner benchmark. Drop from 1300mhz to 1170mhz at 66C. No other benchmark or game environment does this.

That's cool, a bios update for the GTX 670 FTW. Hope it fixes some lag issues.

Btw, Is it safe to update my GTX 670 FTW with this new firmware?
 
Is EVGA even recommending to do this, Jacob?

Jacob, any chance of a similar update for GTX 690?
At least for those people who gave up waiting for GTX 690 HC and purchased an EVGA card and an EVGA waterblock separately and would like to run the same clocks/bios GTX 690 HC does?
Please?

Bump for this?

eh, is this gonna stabilize my boost speeds on the FTW? out of the box boost speeds keeping going up and down. also notice if the card pulls like 1.175 volts in oc scanner tests fps drops by like 50(500ish) if volts 1.150 or lower the fps goes up by 50 (560 ish). in those tests and that is with a lower clock boost  the higher clock boost with higher volt has lower fps. Meanwhile the Lower boost with lower volts is getting higher fps. generally in games when boost goes off it using 1.175volt and boost speed are just all over the place.

Basically is this gona make my cards boost. Pick one number and use it instead of it being all over the place.
This is all stock out of the box 670 ftw.. I dont OC anything  Meaing Base clocks are 1006mhz  and boost will be 1150 instead of boost being 1080 or 1125 or 1050 etc. If it picked on boost number and use that speed all the time and same volt all the time I would not mind, but this why i dont like boost

Btw this card sure as hell dont stay under 70c under full 99%power load and 99% gpu load not under it own auto fan or the auto in precession x. and anything over 55% fan sound like jet engine turbine. Thought about getting AC twin turbo II to put on this but, I not sure if I keeping the card. I might just get 660ti if the price is right.

 
I am right there with you dude. I HATE this boost clock crap, I mean in theory its good ya know. But when even with things set to maximum performance, if its not at a demanding point in a game the clock goes to 1006mhz, then some action hits and BAM fps drops until it has time to boost up to 1150 or whatever random number it decides it needs to go to LOL. I just with there was a way (that worked) that would make my card STAY at make boost during game play. I mean we should have that option you know? 400 bucks says so. 
 
But on another note, unless precision x decides "Hey, lets not load the fan profile while in the middle of BF3..." then my card never exceeds 60c, ever. and mine is set for 10% more fan speed than current temp so at 60c im at 70% fan speed and, to be honest, I can barely here the damn thing dude. there might be something wrong with the fan on your card. even when I manually turn it all the way up.

what would happen if you install this 02G-P4-2672-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked 
on a 4gb card
would you drop to 2gb of mem

I apologize for my former uninformed posts regarding this GPU BIOS update. wanted to return the honors to EVGA for providing this update after all.
 
why? because I have just realized that I cannot pass 3dmark Vantage with 670 oc'ed when running the stock/factory firmware (v19), because it would either RSOD after 15 secs into Scene #1 or would restart my whole system. This improved GPU BIOS (v31) allows me to successfully pass Vantage with no issues at same OC clocks.
 
kudos to EVGA for making it available!
