HI all, Just wanted to ask what is the diffrence between the normal and OC bios on the 11G-P4-2484-KR (EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 TI FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING). Are the Bios versions the same? 90.02.17.00.D2 on the Normal Bios, Techpowerup lists Bios version 90.02.17.00.D1 ( with no info which Bios it is, normal or OC?). I'm having weird Problems with the OC Bios, somtimes my Mainboard doesnt Post and gives me ERROR LOAD VGA BIOS on the display, code is either 64 or b4 (Asus Prime x299 deluxe ii (Bios 0802)). Once I press the restart button on my PC case, it restarts and works normal. I tried DDU'ing the driver in windows and reinstalling it fresh, but it seems the Bios on the card it self has some hicc-ups on cold boot's. So i thought, if possible, I could flash the OC bios on the card with the normal Bios if the bios switch only changes the Fan curve. if not could someone give me a working OC bios to try to reflash it? -Thanks

Did you kill all power to the pc by pulling the plug from the wall and hold the power on button on the case for 15 seconds to fully drain the power from the pc and then flip the bios switch and re plug in the pc and power up?
That's the normal procedure when you flip the bios switch on the card.
So try to fully drain the system power and then power back up.
One might need to reinstall px1 as well as it might get confused with the different card bios.

Yes, I already tried everything, even flashing the OC bios with the Bios from Techpowerup.
The card works but what annoys/bothers me is the diffrence in Bios versions:
-Normal: 90.02.17.00.D2
-OC (From Techpowerup): 90.02.17.00.D1
Same boot error with the Techpowerup Bios on cold boot's, normal bios works normal
Thats why the question "Whats the diffrence between OC and Normal Bios"
if its safe to Flash the OC bios with the 90.02.17.00.D2 version?
and if not could someone give me a working OC bios to try to reflash it?
if theres an EVGA tech that could give me one

I was told the only difference was the fan profile on those is more aggressive on the OC BIOS. Not sure if that's still true.

Your should just call evga and ask them to email you the correct 2 bios for your card. They will be in a .exe file that will automatically flash the card for you.

@DeadlyMercury
These Patches seem to be only for LED and Fan issues and it patches something called the MCU (Micro Controller Unit).
I'm having boot issues with the OC BIOS, which means I need something to patch the BIOS.

I believe that gpu bios is included in this MCU. Because if led could be controlled by something else - fans are controlled by bios.

well, I just tried it out and it didnt change (i think) the BIOS it self. So it went like this: - It flashed something on the card - I rebooted the system (manually) - PX1 started to update the firmware - I rebooted again (manually) - Checked the BIOS version with GPU-Z and its still 90.02.17.00.D1 which I got from Techpowerup and flashed it with NVFlash

Yes, Fast Start up is off
and I already tried everthing, I'm having this issue for a while now.
I even RMA'ed the Mainboard 2 times and got 2 complettly new ones.
It can only be the card itself that has some issues and only if I'm using the OC BIOS.

and like I said the weird part is it only happens sometimes and when it happens I can just press the Restart/Reset button.
It'll reboot again and just works for what ever reason

Same version means that there is newest bios for your card on techpowerup.
But now it is flashed properly with evga utilities. Does this problem occurs since you did flash via evga tools?

And the easiest solution is not to use OC bios since it not give you anything :)

I wrote an Email to support@evga.com and gave them a link to this post. I'll wait and see what they give me, idk what the patch from @DeadlyMercury did. Since there was no .rom file which is used for flashing (with NVFlash atleast and the BIOS files on techpowerup are also .rom files) there was only a .hex file and ofc the executables.

It's always best to get the files from EVGA themselves. I'm sure you'll hear from them soon.

@Tasty_Sashimi Did you ever figure out what is going on with normal vs. OC BIOS on your Ti card? I'm having similar symptoms, my Ti behaves as if OC and 'normal' BIOS are switched (as described here 2080 BIOS Gurus help needed - EVGA Forums).
