I was thrilled when I saw this upgrade. Unfortunately, it did not work out for my card.
Card details:
• GTX 1080 FTW2 iCX
• 6686-KR
• BIOS Version (stock/pre-update): 86.04.60.00.80
I tried several things:
1) Tried the 86.04.3B.40.81 BIOS on 86.04.60.00.80 (master) > Restart > DDU > Re-installed drivers > Restart
2) Tried the 08G-P4-6686-KR - Original BIOS on 86.04.60.00.80 (master) > Restart > DDU > then flashed 86.04.3B.40.81 > Restart > Re-installed drivers > Restart
Results:
1) Flash was not successful/did not apply
2) Flash was successful but GPU-Z showed a blank Memory Type, almost half the Bandwidth (320.3 GB/s to 170 GB/s) and 405MHz (instead of the 5005MHz) Memory Clock (benchmark showed bad performance)
Will us who have this type of card ever get a working 11GB update? Thanks!
