What really is different with the second bios besides power target? Or are you able to put a custom bios on it (without voiding warrenty)
 
*edited to be more specific*

My favorite part about my 680 classifieds was that they had 3 bios'. So I could void my warranty 3 times over. Across 4 cards. I voided 12 evga warranties in less than 15 minutes.

Would think it would only pertain to the cards that actually have the "EVGA Double Bios" feature shown & stated ...
... as exampled in the above for the 780 Classified HC card.

 
If that is indeed the case, I will likely be so irritated I will think twice before buying EVGA again.
 
It's one thing to lock the voltage on all cards except the "top of the line" model, but it's quite another to offer two separate lines of cards -- one with a spare bios on which users are allowed to fool with the settings (re: unlock voltage), and another with just one set of factory settings that cannot be touched without voiding your warranty.  I spent good money on my gpu's, quite a lot of it actually; if I were given the option to go in and unlock the voltage in the bios without fear of voiding my warranty I would probably do so.  Why should only people who waited several months to buy an EVGA product get that privilege while those of us who had our money in-hand ready to spend it the moment they'd take it don't?
 
I'm not going to beat a dead horse, so I'll just say I hope they rethink this strategy/policy and leave it at that.

Stupid question..do all 780 Classified's have the dual bios? This is the one I got:  [uhg, can't post link, it's the 03G-P4-3788-KR part from newegg, item #N82E16814130943] wanted to know if dual bios was on this card.

Looks like this is the new "Dual" version of your 770 SC ACX card : http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2776-KR
EVGA is obviously coming out with a new feature for some of their 700 series cards ...
... I would think that this is a good thing ---- no, I know that it's a good thing ...
 
So, I guess you would have preferred for EVGA to wait until the 800 Series cards to introduce the Dual/Double Bios feature ...
... or, how long is EVGA expected to have to wait to release a new & better feature / version of a card (or price ), so that "some" people who bought the previous version don't get all bent out of shape over the said new improvement ?? ...
 
If it makes you feel any better (but, I kinda' doubt it will) ...
... the brand spankin' new 700 series "Dual" cards that people are buying yesterday, today, & tomorrow ...
... will most certainly & most definitely be dated & improved upon, with the release of the 800 series cards ...

Yes, *OR* I would have preferred that they release it at the beginning of the 700-series.

Can't say for sure, but I'm sure I would have felt better had I had my brand new $800+ worth of 770s for more than a month before the hardware was replaced by something better.  It's not like I waited until late in the cycle to upgrade, I bought them about a month after they hit shelves, and basically as soon as they weren't sold out all the time.
 
*OR* I would prefer that EVGA simply give me the same options on my card as new buyers spending the SAME AMOUNT that I spent have.  Allow me to edit/flash my bios without voiding my warranty.  If new buyers can do it, why can't existing owners?  They're going to have to revisit the legal wording of the warranty policy anyway.  It's impossible to return a card to EVGA in exactly the same physical condition they received it if they are expressly allowed to flash/edit/change the bios.

My 770 Classified still only goes up to +111 Power Target. Any intentions or raising this. Even to AT LEAST 115. I mean, it is part of the classified series after all.

Because they didn't adopt something new right away, they waited. For there waiting, this is what they were rewarded. I can't even get above 1110 MHz on my 3 Titans anyways so running a aftermarket bios won't help me, I've already tried with a few and no dice. Even though they didn't do this to Titan its whatever, more people buy 780 and below cards I think, that's were the money pool is.

I didn't wait for the dual bios, I waited cause I wanted the first model 4GB 770 with the 10.5" ACX cooler which happened to be the Dual SC so it was more of a bonus for me really

Look on the back of the PCB you should see some sort of DIP switches . Also look on the left side of were the power connections are there might be one there like the 770.

So is it assumed that none of these duals will have the titan cooler?

Interesting concept. Glad to know what DUAL means now :)

very doubtful, as the the Titan Cooler 770's are limited production and came out before dual bios did.

i just bought a gtx760 acx on the 1/8/2013 will i be able to trade it in for a card with dual bios?

 
contact evga to find that out, not all cards are available for Step Up

but the classified 770 has a 3 position switch :)
