http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO2uXNQkubQ Special thanks to my friend jdookie, and loveordie the creator of NVTurboFlash. Just as the title says, this video will show you exactly the methods to use in order to flash your GPU to an updated BIOS. Caution: This tutorial is intended for those who wish to update the BIOS corresponding with your card's part number, or have received a GPU with the wrong BIOS installed. I am not advocating flashing to a BIOS which is not applicable to its respective GPU, which is apparently a warranty-void. That is purely your own decision. Therefore, I am not responsible for any bad flashes and/or voided warranties. SirJamesDDJ

Very well done. I wonder if any Evga employees can confirm whether this flash will void warranty or not.

I think people looking for this info should contact EVGA directly and not do it on their own.

True, but if EVGA sends you a .bin file and you're confused as to how you can flash your card(s), use this tutorial.

If you flash your video card with a video card BIOs not listed on the downloads section of the EVGA website then you will void your warranty with EVGA.
Exception: If an EVGA technical representative sends you a video card BIOs file with instructions then that may be used. That would be a very rare occurrence!

Exactly the purpose for everything written after "Caution" in my OP. I do not advocate flashing to anything which is not concurrent with the card's part number. I'm sorry, it is a friggin goofy policy by the way. There's been guys, Trubritar namely, who have purposely destroyed their GPUs overclocking, burning it up, and the warranty has been honored. Just a tad unbalanced.

I wonder how many nubes are going to brick their cards? I think EVGA should sticky some kind of statement on bios flashing.Bios flashing a card is just a bad idea.

Funny how another EVGA representative said this: > You can change the BIOS, only thing
that will void
> warranty is physical damage to the card itself. I left out the source of the message, and names on purpose, but trust me, I have them, and the entire message is saved and printed for future reference if needed. The way I look at it, as long as you are upgrading to a BIOS that is provided by EVGA, and is intended for your model card, there's no harm in it. Sure, if you flash with some kind of homebrew type BIOS, you're definitely asking for trouble, but if it's an EVGA BIOS, how is it any different than flashing say an EVGA motherboard with an EVGA BIOS??? It's not. I think the bigger issue here is, EVGA doesn't want people with Vanilla cards to upgrade to SC or FTW clocks for free......oops, did I say that?? Come on guys, just use common sense before doing anything like this. If you aren't comfortable doing a BIOS flash, then don't do it. On the other hand, if you've done it many times, and only use what's designed for your card, then I don't see any harm in it, but that's just me. By the way, I am one of those very rare occasions where EVGA sent me a BIOS to flash my cards with because I bought two SC's, and one of them had a Vanilla BIOS installed on it.

I want to know who told you that you can change a video card BIOs? Here is the present policy and it has been that way for a few years now:
If you change your video card BIOs to a BIOs that has been made manually or from another manufacturer you are making an unauthorized hardware change that is not accepted by EVGA.
The reason for this is very simple. It takes a proper engineer with vast experience to properly make a video card BIOs. One small fault can kill a video card. It is not worth it EVGA provides software overclocking tools such as EVGA Precision to allow you to safely overclock your video card.

You keep saying this, and we all fully understand that part. I don't think anybody here is using any BIOS other than one provided by EVGA. I'm not trying to butt heads with you or anything, this whole BIOS thing just needs to be settled once and for all. Is it not true that you can freely flash your EVGA video card's BIOS with another EVGA BIOS that was designed for *your* card? Case and point: GTX 480 SC - Would it not be okay to flash from 70.00.1A.00.82 to the newer 70.00.21.00.82 BIOS? They are both provided by EVGA and they are both designed for the GTX 480 SC, correct?

In order for the card to be covered under warranty, it needs to come back to EVGA in the original condition. If any BIOS's are flashed, it needs to be flashed back to the original before replacement.

So what about mine? I have an SC which came with the .80 BIOS, and I was provided the .82 BIOS by EVGA. Do I need to put it back to a Vanilla BIOS before I send it in for RMA?? Wouldn't an SC coming in with a Vanilla BIOS raise more flags than an SC coming in with a SC BIOS? Again, not trying to start a debate. I'm really asking this because I need clarification in case this ever happens to me.

If your card had the incorrect BIOS, then no you do not need to put it back.

So you're saying the act of flashing the BIOS itself does not void the warranty, but if it were RMA'd without the correct one on it then that's where the problem is? Roll of the dice, to flash up to a non-matching version. Not worth it for people to just willy-nilly attempt and throw away your warranty. Yes, I said willy-nilly. I'll say it again: The tutorial is intended for those who wish to update the BIOS corresponding with your card's part number, or have received a GPU with the wrong BIOS installed. I am not advocating flashing to a BIOS which is not applicable to its respective GPU, which is apparently a warranty-void.

Wow guys, I didn't know I was that popular, lol. I actually had help from several people, and everything I learned was a collaboration from all of them, you guys included. I then took all the info I learned, and passed it on to sirjamesddj, and even suggested that he do a video. loveordie, Evidently, you guys were making videos at the exact same time, and yours wasn't up yet when I suggested that sirjames do one, so he definitely didn't rip you off. He also didn't know of your how-to thread because I never told him about it. He was actually getting most of his info from tutorials on the techpowerup forum. The important thing is the information is out there now, right?

Why not just pay fro the SC version of the cards like everyone else that got one? I think that wrong just my 2 cents EVGA should look into this bios thing makes no sence to charge people for a OC edition and then people go out and buy the vanillas just to change the bios and have them run at the speeds the SC versions do.

This is invariably why your warranty gets voided if you go on your Vanilla card from the original to an SC BIOS.

Actually, it has been made quite clear by the EVGA guys that if you flash a Vanilla card with a SC BIOS, you will indeed void your warranty. In my opinion it voids the warranty because of exactly what you said. Why should anyone buy an SC or an FTW if you can just buy a Vanilla and flash the BIOS, so the only way they can attempt to keep it in check is to automatically void the warranty, can you blame them? After all, EVGA is a business, and they need to sell cards, not BIOS revisions. Anyway, the only way you can flash the BIOS is if its an EVGA BIOS, and for *your* card, and Jacob said in a few posts up that even if you upgrade your BIOS to a newer one, you still need to put it back to it's original BIOS before you send it in for RMA.

seems EVGA has changed its policy yet again I was told that you can only flash your cards BIOS once you have contacted EVGA and they tell you that its ok to flash the BIOS (due to the card having the wrong BIOS etc) and you could only use the official BIOS sent to you by EVGA. So you can now flash your card with any BIOS you like aslong as you flash it back to the original before you send it back, thats pretty awesome but it also makes sense since how is EVGA supposed to know if you flashed it anyway. But still you flash at your own risk i guess, if you brick the card (flash fails) then your warranty would be void i guess if your unable to put the card back to its original state.

I did not know about your 200 section thread so how could I have given you credit? Additionally, if I really was blatantly ripping you would I then afterward post a link to the video here? C'mon man, I'm not that kind of guy.

Alright, I will credit you in the more info section of the video and the OP of this thread. I had no idea til now that you're the guy behind NVTurboFlash. Should prove to you that I did zero looking into your thread and had no knowledge of it whatsoever. My apologies for any miscommunication.

I will advise anyone interested in flashing their BIOS to contact the manufacturer before proceeding. A BIOS flash could fail, and if you can't get it back to stock, you're on your own.
