EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 BIOS Update  - 86.04.50.00.70/86.04.50.01.70 (10/17/2016)
 
Updates: 
  • Improved memory overclocking experience for some users
 
  
Q. Do I need to reapply this update every time I update a driver or reinstall the O.S.? 
A. This update is attached to the card, no matter where it goes. If you update the driver, the EVGA BIOS update is still applied. 
  
Q. How can I tell what version I firmware I currently have? 
A. There are multiple ways to do this, one way is to right click on desktop and go to NVIDIA control panel. Click on Help, then System Information. Scroll to the bottom of the Details window and it will show your "Video BIOS version". 
  
Q. I just bought my card, will it have this updated firmware? 
A. Chances are yes, as new firmware is released, new products shipping from EVGA will also have this firmware version applied.
