I tried flashing and it didn't apply or didn't flash. I followed the instructions on the first page to the letter and no go! Any help would be appreciated!
 
EDIT: Also, all the links are down. The kingpin site is down so the file links are dead too. Any reason why it's down? 
 
EDIT 2: I have a 6696 card and I tried using the secondary.exe to flash and it flickered (went black) for a split second and that was it. I did confirm that I was using the slave bios at the time and turned off XOC when flashing the BIOS but the old bios is still there and the new one never flashed. Do I have to rename the .rom file to something specific for it to flash (Using a Hybrid OC .rom from kingpin I downloaded awhile ago)?

Did you run the .exe as an admin?

Links have been updated.

The "Here" link still don't work, but the other two do, thank you Sajin! However this is still not a fix! Since it's not EVGA official! I would like my card to be recognized as the card it actually is, and not some ftw3 hybrid nonsens.
 
 

127%.

Should I flash primary on Normal switch and secondary on OC switch?

Yes.

If you flashed both the normal & oc switch with their respective .exe's, and both vbios's show up as 127% then they are both modified.

Don't think so. The original master can be downloaded here... https://www.techpowerup.c...gtx1080ti-11264-180305

No problem.

I have FTW3 card with version for Normal bios: 86.02.39.00.90. Do I need to upgrade my both bios if I don't want to overclock my card? Where can I find more info about updated bios, what changes? On techpowerup I couldn't find any difference among 86.02.39.00.90, 86.02.39.40.92, 86.02.39.41.92.

I just got off the phone with EVGA tech support. Support sent me the original Master and Slave BIOS files. They are 86.02.39.00.90 (Normal) and 86.02.39.01.90 (OC).
 
The instructions that came with it said to:

Flash Master BIOS
1) Disable graphics card driver in Device Manager.
2) Power off PC.
3) Move BIOS switch to "Master" mode.
4) Power on PC.
5) Execute update.exe.
6) Press "y" for yes.
7) Enable graphics card driver in Device Manager.
8) Reboot off PC.

Flash Slave BIOS
1) Disable graphics card driver in Device Manager.
2) Power off PC.
3) Move BIOS switch to "Slave" mode.
4) Power on PC.
5) Execute update.exe.
6) Press "y" for yes.
7) Enable graphics card driver in Device Manager.
8) Reboot off PC.

 
It was suggested not to look around for updated BIOS files because the BIOS does not need to be updated under normal circumstances.
(That's a general recommendation from tech support--separate from what this thread is about).
 

Sajin,
 
How do I test if the card will now be able to hit the 127% power figure? I tried using superspostion 4k optimized and the power did exceed 117% (it hit 120% a few times) but it kept fluctuating up and down. Should I use K Boost in XOC to lock voltages? Any other thing I may be missing? Anyway, it doesn't appear the bios helped at all looking at the graphs below.
 

 
 

 
Any advice, maybe I flashed the default .rom? I did use the link for the 6696 card in the OP and followed everything to the letter.

Sajin
No problem. Looks like you already hit 127%, but the best way to do it would be to overclock the card to the max stable clocks on the core & memory then run the unigine superposition benchmark on the 8k optimized preset.

 Ah, ok I'll give that a try and run the 8k preset!

Sounds like you didn't run the .exe as an admin.

It's just the one I recommend using. You could even use furmark to see if you'll power throttle correctly.
 
You don't want it to look like this...
 

 
You want it to read 126-127% instead of 117% as shown in the picture.

Hello,
I have 1080ti FTW3 6696 and i want to flash the latest bios.(86.02.39.41_92)-(86.02.39.40_92).I have the .rom files.
Can i flash with Nvflash using the second instruction?
