    The BIOS chip is not replaceable by the end user. It is soldered to the PCB. You would need to either RMA the card if under warranty or pay to have EVGA re-flash the BIOS on the card or if you can install the card as a second card in a PC, you could re-flash the BIOS on it yourself. GL.

    Pretty sure those are the vbios chips. You can contact evga tech support to confirm.

    I'd just ask them if both the vbioses are on the back or front of the card.
