Keep me posted please
Well, I was supposed to get an executable updater, but nothing yet (3 hours since I got off the phone). Guess we'll see and I'll post here with news. Roger

Well I connected a car battery to the card because i was worried it might not be getting enough "juice". For some reason the memory is reading low but you can sure OC the heck out of the GPU!  EDIT: I sure hope this won't affect the warranty? EDIT2: j/k! This old version of GPU-z couldn't quite handle this card's info...

Got the update- it's a bootable iso image. Ran it, rebooted, and the bios is the same. *But* I can now change the fan speed from 30% to 100%, so that's progress at least. Memory clock speed still only goes up to 2160 (not the 3600 that the card is advertised as having) but at this point, I'm done with the rigmarole. I'm going to make one more call to customer service just to check in and make sure they know that they've lost me as a customer permanently. A month of issues, 3 RMAs, 2 phone calls and a metric boat load of emails, and I'm still not in possession of the card I actually paid for. This is ridiculous. Good luck everyone else.

FYI the memory speed your talking about is halved ,my gtx 480 is 3800, but it reads 1900. Your never going to see a what your asking for .the card goes to 2160 that equals 4320 .I would not suggest pushing it past the 2000 mark or it will be unstable.Judging by your understanding of how the GPU works i suggest you try to be more patient with EVGA as your current card is perfectly fine as you just described it .

Whoa, slow down buddy. If you're fan goes to 100%, you've got what this update was offering. DDR = Double Data Rate. 3600/2 = 1800, which is what I'm assuming your card was running at before you manually pushed it to 2160...that's a huge overclock. If EVGA Precision says your card is running at 720/1440/1800 before you touch anything, that is the advertised speeds for this card. Anything above that is an overclock and "your mileage may vary". rsiggs

Ok, to be clear, my annoyances are with the multi-week turnaround time it's taken to get this issue resolved.
Here is my conundrum- In GPU-Z, the memory speed is listed as 900MHz. Assuming that is a legit reading, then the 1800Mhz (900Mhz doubled) reported by Precision is still less than half the 3600Mhz listed on the EVGA website for this card.
Are you suggesting instead that the memory clock speed as reported by GPU-Z is instead actually supposed to be quadrupled to accurately reflect what is shown on the website?
Nevermind, I found a whitepaper on it- it's not an actual relevant measurement, just an 'effective' clock speed. I apologise for getting worked up about what I felt was another case of not getting what I paid for.

No worries. What you had to go through was indeed unacceptable and I don't blame you for being annoyed.
Obviously there is some kind of communication failure internally about what BIOS is getting loaded on these RX cards. If they don't intend them to be able to be flashed to the current EVGA versions, they should specify that in the specs. If that's NOT how they're supposed to be, then somebody needs to be told to stop putting the wrong BIOS on them at the shop.

i talked with a customer service guy yesterday who said he needed to talk to someone higher up...manager or tech rep or something and he would have to call me back. Never got the call but may have just missed it. I don't know. Today the guy said he's never heard about this problem and after finding out I have 2 other systems said to try the flash it in them and if it didn't work to call back and get an RMA. Obviously there is a communication breakdown at evga (i.e. nobody wants to cop responsibility and is passing the buck?), or they are not looking at the forums to see what's going on with their customers. In all fairness one of the other systems has a evga7800GT I bough about 5 years ago refurbished, that is still working fine other than it almost reaching the temps of the surface of the sun on hot days. Tomorrow, if the flash fails on the other systems, I'm going to call sales instead of tech support and try an end around move. THEY would be the ones most interested if there is issues affecting sales.

I can make the iso they sent me available if you don't get a decent enough response. I'll keep an eye on the thread. FYI- when I called Customer Service/Tech Support, I spoke with Zach N (zachn@evga.com) - he was awesome and got the ball rolling for me. Might be helpful. Roger

A little confused here.
I have the GTX 460 1024MB SuperClocked EE edition, but the sticker on my card indicates 01G-P3-1371-XX. This is a bit confusing because I know I have the superclocked EE, but the sticker tells me to get the non superclocked version? My default core clock is 763 as the superclocked should be.
Should I get
v1.3 01G-P3-1371-XX - EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1024MB EE (External Exhaust)
or
v1.3 01G-P3-1373-XX - EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1024MB SuperClocked EE (External Exhaust)

what reason do you believe its the SC EE 1373 card ?Sorry had to ask .Could have been a shipping error from who ever you bought it from .

second thought forget what i asked ..
Call EVGA with your serial number they can directly tell you what it should be ,if they dont match ,either a mistake in the sticker or someone switched it with a non SC card .either way call EVGA support and get it straightened out now before (if) any warranty work is needed as this will cause issues.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there no way else to look this up in the firmware with one of these utilities? Bios shows as 70.05.2E.00.70 Graphics clock 763 Mhz Memory click 1900 Mhz Edit: It is the SC edition, you can check your registered products on the site. Part Number: 01G-P3-1373 As registered my account. So youre right must have been a mistake of a sticker. I feel I should report this to EVGA, maybe its happening to other cards?

Well, I RMA'd my card on Tuesday, and got the replacement card today (Thursday). The card was already flashed with the FPB BIOS. Nice job guys. Thank you very much!

But after i used the updater.. it gave some error then closed. well when i look gpu-z, it shows i got the bios.. fan speed increase but no clock speed increase.

i have 2 460 1gb. In EVGA precision i have them running at the following.
Core Clock - 850
Shader Clock - 1700
Memory Clock - 1920
Fan Speed - 70
This overclock i have, can i have it much higher ? i havent tried any higher than 850 on the core. With having 2 cards i thought that would be enough.

GTX460 SE do not work with these BIOS as the video card is a different card from GTX460 and uses completely difference BIOS. The SE card is a crippled version of the normal GTX460. In reality, they should have been named GTX455.

getting it from elsewhere and not the authorized link would be something i wouldn't be comfortable doing as it is not "mine" to distribute .I just tried all the links and they all work 100% with no problems.I suggest you find the issue on your side and hope it is not something serious and only a simple clearing of the cache.

Can I please get an updated .exe for the 768-1360-RX?
I got 2 from the b-stock and one came with it at 675mhz and the other 720mhz. Would it be ok to flash the one with 675mhz to the one with 720mhz. The BIOS revisions are different. But i's perfer to do it with the updated exe.
The 675mhz ones fan only goes from 40-70% wile the other is 30-100%.
Thanks in advance
