as the FTW cards are not released yet, will they come with 1.1 automaticly
 
if it does i will give it a try..
if not.. i might only give it a try when there is a way to get back to 1.0 

any updates about acx1.0 ?
 
Some RP said that you plan to offer a upgrade plan for the acx1.0 fan to acx2.0. No news since.... nice customer services...

bad link :x
 
 for 0974 ?!

Can you post a change log for the acx1.0 cards ? updated, but in precision minimum speed is still 35%

Hello.
Doesn´t get it ?! It was 35% before? so what for the update? Not possible to go under 25% ? 
 

My card sounds like a **** since the update ...

Wait, ACX 1.0 can't go below 35? That's bad. Hopefully this update fixes the fans spinning up for no reason though.

Uninstalled driver?

Sorry about that link fixed.
 
The new firmware maintains the lowest fanspeed (35%) until 60-67C

Jacob, thanks for the update, I'll install later today and let everyone know if it made a difference. From what I am hearing however and what you are saying, my card already maintains 35% at idle, which keeps my temp around 30-40c. That 35% is still way too loud for casual use and the temp is very cool, why can we not lower it to below 35%? My main concern though is the fact that the Precision tool is unable to manually control my fan speed. None of this would be an issue if I could create a custom cooling profile in Precision to regulate my fan speed based on GPU temperature. Any idea why my card fan does not respond to Precision tool? (Or MSI Afterburner either.)

Any word on noise levels or temps with the new BIOS, particularly for the 970 SC version?

 
They are the same !
 
35% minimum at idle, noisy as hell.
 
The only thing this update does, is a simple curve 35% to 67°. Everyone can do it with precision ....
 
It's simply a joke.
 
First Evga produts was disapointed day one, buy i heard that they will address it, and plan for a fan upgrade to acx2.0. I emailed EVGA EU no news about it, so.... only choice is to sell my cards and buy another  silent brand/model

To all people who have also encountered the problem where the update.exe closes immediately:
I had the same problem and solved it!

1. Uninstall Nvidia Graphics Driver via Control Center
2. Start update.exe --> the command line window closes immediately saying that it can't start a service
3. Reboot
4. Now go to your Device Manager and uninstall the graphics driver and make sure you ticked the checkbox to remove also the driver software
5. Start update.exe --> now it should work and you can press 'y' two times to begin the flashing process
6. Reboot

I hope this is helpful!

Hi, trash.mailer. 
update.exe keep closing immediately... :(

@CiroConsentino: 35% according to PrecisionX
 Edit:
And that's about 1300rpm

hum... My card finally arrived, EVGA GTX 970 ACX 1.0  (04G-P4-0972-KR) and the 35% fan is around 1430 rpm. Still silent compared to my super noisy EVGA GTX 570HD 2.5GB (min 40% at 1860 rpm). I'm loving this card. Silent and super fast. It runs everything I throw at it at 60 fps with no lag (I always use adaptive v-sync) to avoid screen tearing on my 60Hz monitor.

But adaptive v-sync causes screen tearing.

CiroConsentino
Not to me it doesn't. When it's lower than 60 fps (Watch Dogs and Metro 2033 Redux), I don't see screen tearing at all. My monitor is a Samsung BX2350 with 2ms response time.
If I disable adaptive v-sync, I see tearing on those games.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Only G-Sync or real V-Sync gets rid of all tearing.
