First Of All ... WELCOME EVERYBODY :) It's Hiuge to have a forum like this.
 And now getting into business: 
 
I have a GTX 980 Classified 
GM204
Device ID :10DE 13CO - 3842 3988
My BIOS version is :
84.04.31.00.80
 
I have a few issues with some games and thought maybe a BIOS update if available would help ...
Well turns out Techpowerup.com lists one :
84.04.1F.40.81
 
So i'm here to learn from other owners and their experience. How is this done ?
What should, other than uninterrupted power, be in sight ?
Thanx a lot & all the best guys !!

You need to post into the forum of the 'All Other EVGA Graphics cards' separately and not into this thread. You'll probably get more help that way.

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC Gaming ACX 2.0+ Cooling Graphics Card 
Great card, has served me well, hoping it keeps working for a while longer until I can get a new 3000 series.

I was sad selling my 970 FTW.  I made sure it got a new home with a kid that will play such titles as CS:Go and Warzone :)
