Hi,

I got a 1080ti FTW3 on 27/5. Used it with EVGA Precision X OC, at first with 6.1.6, since yesterday with 6.1.8. The way I understand it the Precision X OC should be taking care of the BIOS updates and each of these versions should even have one. Since I didn't see any popups/messages about needed/finished BIOS updates I assume none were executed. I'm running the master BIOS, maybe those updates were for the slave only. Since this card is a bit more complex due to ICX sensors, dual BIOS and three separate fan controllers, I'd prefer to keep it updated.

1. How to find out what BIOS I'm running? -found out Precision X does show this with the small i next to minimize/close in top right corner
2. Where to find the latest available BIOS version?
3. Do master and slave share the same BIOS version (although on separate flash chips and also updated separately) and both should get an update at the same time?
4. How to (force) update BIOS if I' running an older version? Should Precision OC X take care of that automatically?

At first I was running the Steam version of EVGA's SW and it had its bugs, apart from showing as playing Precision X all the time most importantly OSD did work about every third restart. Maybe it also broke FW updates, that's what I'd like to find out. Running standalone version now and OSD works completely reliable.

Cheers.

1. GPU-Z will work fine. 
 
2. EVGA tech support. https://www.evga.com/about/contactus/
 
3. Precision xoc doesn't update the vbios. Precision xoc only updates the mcu (led, power fan, memory fan) firmware.
- 86.02.39.00.90 = master vbios 
- 86.02.39.01.90 = slave vbios
 
4. EVGA tech support will need to provide you with an update.exe that will flash the vbios on your card. No, precision xoc doesn't update the vbios.

I believe that Precision OC X only updates firmware of LED MCU + Power and Memory Fan MCUs. Not the BIOS of the graphics card. It'd expect anyway a proper source which would list current versions of all upgradeable parts.
 
OC X should update firmware with the version 6.1.11 but I didn't notice anything on my system. Last update was with OC X 6.1.10.
LED MCU: 001F
Power Fan MCU: 009D
Memory Fan MCU: 0091
 
BIOS remained unchanged (same as yours).

Only evga tech support can answer that question.

I'm having an issue getting my card to read! it doesn't show up in the BIOS with its own BIOS?
Could it be because I plugged it into the third slot? Do I have to configure it to work with SLI then?
It's been giving me errors, like random blue screens and some kind of "K" protocol like "Kmydyk.sys"

FTW3_ AIR OC BIOS VERSION 86.02.39.01.91

You will need to flash twice by using the switch on the card's primary and the secondary.
