More the likely it will have it. But you can do a easy fast check with the Nvidia control panel.

Q. How can I tell what version I firmware I currently have?
A. There are multiple ways to do this, one way is to right click on desktop and go to NVIDIA control panel. Click on Help, then System Information. Scroll to the bottom of the Details window and it will show your "Video BIOS version". It will be listed as EXAMPLE: 80.04.31.00.72. The numbers in bold identify the version number.

 
Mine says 80.04.5C.00.70 So I guess it's good to go.

Hello,
 
This is because your 570 was Nvidia Fermi card, the 600 series is Kepler. Nvidia has enabled a terrible auto overclocking scheme which limits the cards ability to run a steady mhz and its always jumping around.
 
You can fix this by using nvidia inspector and putting the GFX in a custom power mode and you can set the mhz and power etc manually. This will immediately eliminate the microstutter you see with your 600 series.
 
Just remember when your done playing the game you have to return the GFX to the normal power mode other wise your card will be running the higher clockspeed unltil you retun the mode or reboot.
 
This is very help thread here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1267918/guide-nvidia-inspector-gtx670-680-disable-boost-fixed-clock-speed-undervolting
 
My settings for my 670 4GB SuperClocked is below:
 
Overlcock:
nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:0,0,125 -setMemoryClockOffset:0,0,500 -setpowertarget:0,122 -setVoltageOffset:0,0,187500 -setGpuClock:0,2,1171 -setMemoryClock:0,2,3504 -forcepstate:0,2
 
Return:
nvidiaInspector.exe -forcepstate:0,16
 
 
Hope this helps many!

Hi
Any advice would be very much appreciated
Was just wondering if its worth updating my gpu bios
I am running on a 1156 mb and i am now getting slight stuttering within a few games and is very annoying...
The card i had in before a 570 was running fine np in any game but now since my gfx upgrade i am getting slight stuttering.i have also noticed the power monitor graph in evga precision is fluctuating up and down a lot.

Part Number: 02G-P4-3677-KR
Part Desc: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW SIG2
bios 80.04.4B.00.70

I have since defaulted my cpu back to stock
uninstalled nvidia drivers ect ect
placed 570 back in to check and all was fine back to 670 and problem arised again
i know its not the psu... be quite 650w 80 plus gold
mb bios fully updated
all drivers updated

Ta sy

Is there currently a more up to date UEFI firmware for the 
02G-P4-2670-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 670? 
I am running 80.04.4B.00.F0.
 

wow, 5C BIOS for 670? I am still using 4B, missed that update. will try it soon after work.
 
edit: requested uefi version of this vbios from tech support.

running 5C UEFI vBIOS here on 670 2gb ref in SLI under UEFI mode with win8 x64. I do not see such event in Logs at all. i actually filtered whole logs in either app or system sub-menu and I never had it on any driver ranging from 314.x through 320.18 up to 320.49 whql (currently used). I did use driver removal and then Driver Fusion cleaner recently for both nvidia display and physx at some point when troubleshooting other issues (VSYNC related and PSU related after all), maybe you could try that too, not that it did help me, because I haven't had such issue ever (had others LOL) ... at least it can't hurt
 
As per my first impression with 5C vBIOS, I think it really improved my card(s) stability, dialed up 1 notch higher on OC that was formerly unstable in Tomb Raider (display crashes) and so far so good, smooth as butter, but I haven't played for long yet... Geothermal Caverns are kinda repulsive LOL!
 

error-id10t

When you get the EFI version and disable CSM in BIOS, can you check event log and see if you get the below error - for me this happens during/straight after reboot, doesn't cause any issues but it's there. I asked this before but nobody responded - it goes away as soon as I enable CSM so the old ROMs run.

The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\Video3

CMDre 00000000 00000080 00000000 00000005 0000001d

I run my rig 24/7, sometimes for a week or two without restart (longest was 3 weeks), never had this error, it would show up in my logs if it was a driver issue, I think.
 
... unless it's not present in Win8 UEFI mode? ... on Win7 I used BIOS boot (non-UEFI), the same way as I do now, but highest drivers I used were 314.07 I think.

Hello there, I know maybe this is not the right place to ask but I really need help, and if anyone can please tell where to post this. I just build my gaming pc, and when I played any game or try to record a game with fraps it just lags like cary going from 80fps to 10fps. ok this are the specs:
CPU: I7-3770K
GPU: EVGA GTX-690
MB: ASUS MAXIMUS V EXTREME
SSD: OCZ VERTEX IV 120GB
RAM: 8GB DDR3 CORSAIR DOMINATOR 1866 MHZ 9-9-9-24 1.65V(OLD VERSION)(2010) 
PSU: CORSAIR AX1200 
the cpu and gpu are both liquid cooled. HELP !!!!

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 Firmware Update v80.04.5C - Updated 04/16/13

Hi Jacob,
So sorry to cross-post, but since MSDN released the Windows 8.1 Pro (retail version) O/s on Monday, I think you will be seeing this a lot, in a lot of places. You seem to know what you are talking about, so I need to hit you up on this:
When Windows 8.1 Pro boots up, I get a watermark in the lower right corner of both my screens that states:
Windows 8.1 Pro
SecureBoot isn't configured correctly
Build 9600
 
My understanding from a LOT of research is, the firmware on my EVGA 600 video card (bought in April) is not UEFI compliant, but my Dell XPS 8500 motherboard is compliant, which causes this watermark.
I need a firmware update, or so it would seem.
Can you instruct me on how to get one for my 660 card, please? Thank you so much!

Just updated my two 670 FTW (2gb) cards - both were on the original BIOS(!)    
 
EVGA is there a list of all the fixes in one place I can see?  I'm interested to know if there are any fixes relating to SLI since i've got a post open on this topic here.
 
Thanks.
 

Any real reason to upgrade to this bios if I am running the 4b and not really having issues?  The only issues I have ever had is if I overclock to an unstable level.

SLI does not equal GPU bios,your issue would point to driver or hardware conflicts .Bios updates like this that are posted and suggested/approved to change your current Bios are rare and this was a near launch fix for some overlooked issues.Hench no "forced/suggested" Bios update since 13+ months ago.I glanced at your posts on this and a quick look would lead me to think you might want to check for a faulty PCI lane.
a List off bios releases notes does not happen and if it did it would mostly only contain hardware compatibility,memory,controller etc not anything even remotely about SLI .The initial fix might have as it was a new card but since then no BIOS SLI issue has been a topic or needed ,it works ,your Pc seems to be the issue as you mentioned you have tried 3 different OS's and the one thing across them all that has stayed constant is the mobo i believe .Ive never heard of software causing SLI issues so it sadly eaves little to consider past your mobo itself .Can you try these card in SLI on another PC? preferably the same make mobo? i would start with that.Then maybe stress test each card by itself ,not sure if that mobo will let you use secondary PCI-E slot as primary but its a idea to test it

Where is 02G-P4-2672-KR for Super clocked 2mg card ?

Edit: Reading is power.

Quick question,
This firmware installation applies to both of my cards automatically, correct?

Hello,
 
Recently having problems playing BF4.  Screen goes black for a few seconds, then returns to normal after a few seconds.  May or may not happen again the following few minutes. - I have 2 GTX 670s in SLI.  I have tried several Nvidia driver installs / clean uninstalls using display driver uninstaller, updated latest MB bios, tried running one card...either black screen or artifacts in PCIE slot 1 or slot 3.  Then switched slots...then switched cards...does the same thing regardless of PCI slot or card used.
 
Seems odd that both cards would suddenly have issues.  PSU is thermaltake 1200 and MB is ASrock z77 extreme6.
 
I wanted to try updating the GPU firmware - Can you tell me if one is available for the cards I have?  I do not see my cards as one of the firmwares available.
Part number is 2004 0005
"02G-P4-2675-BR"
