Ok a new bios that throttles more,  I'm going to stay on the original.
I just got my 670 FTW a week ago and I have noticed some weird behavior in terms of boosting.
 
My max boost clock is 1163mhz at stock, but it won't get there unless it hits 63-64c with TDP peaking 100% - 104%, with my current fan profile it barely hits 61c while playing BF3, Skyrim Modded.  But if I change my fan profile to allow those games to reach mid 63c/64c/65c/66c the card will boost to 1163mhz.  Otherwise it's 1150mhz at the most.
 
I thought these chips were meant to get the highest boost possible out of the silicon draw as long as the thermal requirements are met.  Basically anywhere below 70c.

Where can I download the original firmware, forgot to back mine up.

Yes, I would also like news on a firmware update for the 670FTW+4GB.

I would like to know why their is no 80.04.4B update for the 670 SC?

Well finally today I've updated my bios...
 
I bought a while ago an SLI Bridge from EVGA and it that doesn't work properly, it makes my cards have some strange artifacts and well I thought "I may try the new bios", tried it but I haven't got rid of artifacts... So I thought in testing each card which they worked flawlessly when not in SLI, So I replaced my "new" bridge and it seems I've got everything fixed ( Yeah spent some money on a bridge with about 2 weeks and it isn't working, quite bad evga  )
 
Resuming I've updated my bios *, and well the best part is here, previously I couldn't get more than 15+ on GPU Offset with 550+ on Memory, keep in mind that my cards boost out of box to 1228/1215, now with this new bios I can OC alot more! It's working at 70+ GPU Offset and 550+ on Memory, which result in 1293/1280 Mhz which is an awesome OC In my opinion for two GTX 670 FTW's, thanks alot evga for this update!
 
* Keep in mind that I've modded by my own my bios ( the newest ) to take advantage of full Fan speed ( 25-100% ), that way I can keep cards under 63Cº at the OC'ed speeds!

I have two EVGA GTX 670 SC+ 4GB in SLI in a system I upgraded a few days ago (new HD, CPU, RAM and new, clean install of Win7 64-bit with all updates also) and I am getting artifacts on my desktop (pieces of old windows, dialog boxes and pop-ups left behind). They go away if I do anything that overwrites that screen location, such as a selection drag, or move a window, etc. It occurs mostly in the gadget tray area, but also sometimes along the top of my taskbar.
 
There are no artifacts in games (DX9, 10 or 11) that I can discern.
 
Also, I have had this problem before on the taskbar (I was not using gadgets so I don't know about the gadget tray) with my old GTX 470 SLI pair, never updated the video card BIOS.
 
Will this update get rid of my artifacts, or is there something else I need to do?

Hi I have searched and cannot find this problem in the thread.  I have a 670 FTW. GPU-Z screen:

When I try to run Update.exe, it says something about searching for compatible devices, then gives this error:
"no display adapters were found that are compatible with this update"
It goes so fast, I had to click it several times to figure out what the message said before the terminal window closed.  Can anyone shed light on this issue?
 
Edit: I just noticed some strange behavior.  I installed Assassin's Creed last night and the setup program seemed to think that I have a 4GB card.  I definitely have a 2GB, didn't even know the 4GB existed when I purchased it.  I ran dxdaig, and it also thinks that I have a 4GB card.  Strange..
 
2nd Edit: Sorry guys, just figured out my problem.  I called EVGA support to ask about this and had to look up my serial number.  When I pulled that up, I realized that I actually have the 'LE' card and not the regular FTW.  IMHO it's kind of crappy that the LE even exists, but I digress.  Problem solved!  Still don't understand why dxdiag shows 2x my actual video memory..  Intel HD graphics helping out perhaps?

Dell XPS??? xD

There is no BIOS update in this thread for the 670 Sig2, product code 02G-P4-3677-KR. Is there a particular reason you want to update the BIOS on this card?
 

If you are having stability issues, you can give it a shot, but if that BIOS update doesn't detect your card as valid for it...I'd trust the updater and not try to force it. While it could work, it could also mess up your card.
