Hi, id like to know if anyone would be able to give me a UEFI GOP bios for my EVGA Founders 1080. I have an Asus 1080 Founder's card that supports it, but the EVGA version doesn't. When I disable CSM in my motherboard, I can run the Asus card just fine, but the EVGA 1080 wont boot at all. Can EVGA send me a UEFI GOP compatible bios?

    All EVGA video cards starting with the 700 series and up are UEFI compliant

    The Asus Founder's edition 1080 and my old GTX 670 can use fastboot and run when I disable CSM in my motherboard's bios. For my EVGA card, i have to use legacy boot to get it to start at all, or else it black-screens. It may have UEFI but UEFI GOP isn't enabled on my EVGA card. 
     
     
    Also, the rest of the PC is as follows:
    AMD FX 8350
    Asus Sabertooth r2.0, running the latest bios
     
     
    Update: 
    It seems I may have a weird vbios on my card, since my subvendor is undefined. all the other FE GTX 1080s I see on the internet have EVGA as the subvendor. Can someone at EVGA send me a founder's edition vbios for me to flash?

    I also run the Sabertooth Mark 2 Z97(on Intel 4690k) but not the newest bios (2012 is the most stable bios for me).
    The newer bios released for 5th gen cpu caused instability on my monster OC.

    It turns out my card's bios was bad. I RMAd the card and received a new one from EVGA, and it supports UEFI GOP just fine. Thank you to the staff at EVGA for their great service! :)
