Flashed successfully.
 

 
Aggressive preset changed:

Quiet one:




The presets of aggressive and quiet in precision are native to the precision software. The default VBIOS curve change is linked to the BIOS and BIOS only. 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.

Primary applies to BIOS 1, Secondary to 2. EDIT: If you intend to flash both you should restart after flashing the primary before flashing the secondary. And of course as the instructions state you need to be on the BIOS you intend to flash when you flash it.

Primary applies to BIOS 1, Secondary to 2. Others have advised that if you intend to flash both you should probably restart after flashing the primary before flashing the secondary. Im not sure if it matters (I do not own a Dual Bios card, nor have I ever) but I can only imagine it would be safer to do one at a time. EDIT: And of course as the instructions state you need to be on the BIOS you intend to flash when you flash it.


You are advised to restart after installing primary BIOS....it clearly says that, no doubt. Same goes for Secondary Bios. There should be no issue about that.

To be 100% sure, you will need to look at the actual switch on the card so see which you are on. But if you've never messed with it, it should be on the primary. Once again, I am not the best at helping with this as I know nothing but what ive seen in this thread about dual bios cards.

Thanks for clarifying.

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. ,

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.

Just install the Primary BIOS. There is no need to update both. And one thing to remember. If you update both, your fans will spin around 500 Rpm and NOT 0 rpm up to 60 degrees. If you already updated both just update the primary again and you will have the 0 rpm to 60 degrees again
