If you own a Geforce GTX 980 or GTX 970 graphics card and you want to learn how to flash your card with a customized high-performance ROM, then you've come to the right place! This tutorial will show you how to unlock the full overclocking potential of your GTX 980 and enable you to achieve the highest possible frame-rates in-game. The High-Performance GTX 980 Custom ROM clock speeds are outstanding and tested completely stable when applied to a standard GTX 980 on water cooling. This process will work on any GTX 980 reference card. Please note that you must have sufficient air or water cooling to run your card at higher clocks speeds and voltages, otherwise GPU or Memory burn-out may occur. I recommend replacing your GPU thermal compound with Antec Forumla 7 Nano Diamond Thermal Compound, to ensure 100% efficiency in heat transfer from your GPU to the heat-sync.

    Do note: if you have a single bios and you brick your card, it will cost to fix it. If you have dual bios and you brick one bios, it will not void your warranty.

    Of the 980s only the ftw(dual bios) and classified(triple bios) are available.

    Of the 970s only ftw and ssc (both dual bios) are available.

    Just a quick reference for those that dont know if their card does or does not.

    I'll pass with my luck it's a BIOS with Stuxnet and will end up coin mining for some billionaire.

    I have flashed my cards a number of times. i currently own 2 gtx 780 classifieds. One of my cards died a few months ago from unknown reasons Cough (overvoltage) cough. it died with a flashed bios on it but i still managed to recover the card. Personally i wouldn't flash anything that only has one bios as it would suck if it died.
