this is the problem, i dont know which bios am i the primary or the secondary
as i said im a bit newbie in this, so excuse me on this one 

It clearly says Primary and Secondary. You should look for your card numbers ie:1070 FTW 6272 kR or

I am also wondering about any specific information pertaining to potential performance degradation, or loss of GPU life, due to running a card for a few months without proper thermal protection.

Same here I never OCed or used benchmark tools and my case has pretty good cooling so I hope that my GTX 1080 FTW will not die soon after my 3 year warranty expires.  My reference GTX 680's are still working to this day.  I feel that although I did not have crashes or freezing that my cards lifespan is now shortened.

If your card is mailfunction within 2 years it will be replaced with a new card. That is, if you havn't overclocked it. If you Overclock it is on your own risk. ,

I think he means which BIOS he is currently running. The switch on the 1080 FTW actually says Master/Slave which of course applied to Primary/Secondary

First, sorry if I missed something, but about the above post #982. I have a comment to add.  You are correct that the presets are native to the precision software. You are also right where you said,
"EDIT: The change is to the curve utilized when you do not override the default curve with a software based preset or manual user based curve."
 
But there is one caveat (unless that's already been dealt with.)
Precision presets are based on temperature to fan %. We all know that. But, one thing. In the new vBios the same % of fan doesn't equal the same speed in RPM. This is more apparent the higher the temp.
 
For example, simply put, Old vBios 70c = x %. New vBios it is now different. New vBios 70c = y %. Correct?
 
Feel free to flame if I am totally wrong. Just be sure to explain why.
 

Id like to agree with you, in fact I disputed the exact same fact a page or two ago. Jacob outright told me I was wrong and that max RPM has not changed. Though I still disbelieve it, as im sure I and others have noticed RPM increases at 100% after the update.

Wow. Thanks for the post. But there is no doubt that at 100% the RPM is considerably higher.
Speaking practically, it's unlikely people will run, at 100%, so it's relevant at lower, but not very low temps. It doesn't matter either way really, but maybe Jacob mis-understood or something? I don't know, but speeds RPM, to temp Centigrade have changed notably. Pretty sure of that. I tested before and after vBios updates. Whatever.

I'm getting occasional artifacting in videos, not the previous bug with chrome with black pixels, this time it's more of a mess. Started happening after i updated to the latest VBIOS, but not sure if it's because of the VBIOS or something else. 

I started getting the artifacts as well and after some research it seems that the problem is nVidia drivers. If you are running high refresh rate they will show.
I had my Asus Swift at 144Hz and started seeing the artifacts more and more. When i go down to 120Hz they are gone.
There is a thread here on it:
"https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/974536/geforce-drivers/announcing-geforce-hotfix-driver-version-375-76/?offset=142#5012715"
Some people claim the hotfix dont work so i just went down to 120Hz myself and waiting for a proper fix.
 
I thought my card was dying myself so glad that its atleast software bug.

Quick question about thermal conductivity pads for FTW.
I have already got two brands of both 1mm and 2mm.
 
1mm = A. 5.0w/mk    B. 2.0W/m.k -  A. = Brand 1.   B. = Brand 2.
 
2mm = A. 5.0w/mk      B. 2.0W/mk.     Same as above.  A. is Brand 1.   B. is brand 2.
 
These are Japanese brands probably only sold in Japan. If you wonder why I am asking this it is because, I'm not really sure when the pads from EVGA will arrive. I may do it with my own pads.

 
I ended up using Fujipoly 17W/mK pads and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut-12.5W/mK paste.

I need to unplug the gpu to see this? 
i took a look on the gpu and i cant see it

Yes, exactly. This all started with Nvidia 370.xx drivers and windows 10 anniversary update. It's been going on for a long time now. Manuel (Nvidia employee/forum mod.) fully acknowledged it and said it was priority. 3 weeks later he changed his tune by saying something like "we are having a hard time reproducing it." The reason for this BS in my opinion is that it's not exactly an NV problem. It's connected to Win 10 anni update, and change to WDDM 2.1. Until MS work with NV it wont get solved.
In my case and others with Pascal + 144Hz monitor + Win 10 anniversary, it's easy to remedy by changing the refresh in NVCP and then back to 144Hz again, weird. I did that but got fed up messing around after every restart or start up. My monitor is permanently set at 120Hz which totally resolves it. This is, luckily NOTHING to do with EVGA.
 
On NV forums others have given up like I did, but some still post. If you look at posts from a month or so back there are 100s of accounts of this. Only affects higher than 120Hz monitors. 120Hz is the max, after that, stuttering, artifacts start. Very well documented, but don't wait for fix.

Thanks. 17, that's good. Looks like I'll have to search for better ones. But Amazon jp has nothing above 5 for thermal pads. Good to know this.

Hopefully this uploads right... 

EDIT: Ahh there we go...

You could check Fujipoly Japan site. The mod isn't that hard to do. I usually change TIM on new cards. Working too many hours and being too lazy mostly. Finally got around to it, didn't take long at all.
