Hello. Can you give me an hand?
This is my card:
It's the 1070 ftw acx 3.0
Could you tel me exactly how to flash the first and the second bios? I've read about to put tha vga in slave mode for flash the 2nd bios...How can I switch it in slave mode???
But first of all. Can I make a backup of my original bios if something will be wrong with the update?

Thanks for answer.
 
P.s
Asic quality of 60.2 on a 1070 evga isnt too low??


I think you have a bad card 
 
Its not reading all the info. 
Whats up with his GPU 1B81 
 
My GPU is GP104

And one more question: what should be the default bios? Im not gonna oc. Slave like it is now or master?


Master is the default position. Looking in your case the switch should be to the left.


Where did you get your card? It could of been returned. These cards been sent back alot I bet. They check them and send them back out I bet. My foam in box was diffent on my second card. It had EVGA punched out on my first card and on second card it was totally different.

Amazon Germany. There was a foil around the box. Oh well, then ill switch it to master

Master (left) is the default as already stated. Probably, it's nothing. However, I think you are within your rights to get a knew one. It wasn't setup correctly at point of purchase.
A minor detail. But not a minor expense.
 
If it were me, as it's new, I would spend a few hours stress testing it with everything (except furmark - a bit on the edge that one). Then I'd set up a good custom fan profile, or a fixed one at around 65%. Add 55MHz to the core. Overvolt via MSI by 25% (That number is mis leading - it goes to 100% but 1080 dont run at double voltage) Leave memory as it is. And put the power to 110% temp 87c.
 
That seems pretty random I know, it's just a kind of moderate/slightly heavy OC. I reckon if you can pass Firestrike stress test extreme (loops graphics test 1 20x - takes 10mins) on both stock and that OC, plus running heaven and anything else you may have like valley you are looking good.
 
One thing. I never game at default fan settings as the backplate gets a bit hotter than I'm happy with under the memory/vrm area. For stock tests, to be safe I'd say set fan to at least 50% - for me it would be 60%.
 
In an airy case with air moving over the backplate, plus raised fan this problem seems to go away, no black screens or other things that some have reported.
 
It doesn't belong in this thread, so very briefly, I mention back plate memory heat as there is an on going "issue," with some EVGA pascal cards literally smoking and catching fire in that area. I suspect it's a minority, a small minority, but I have never owned a GPU with a backplate that gets painful to touch.
 
Anyhow. Totally your call. But due to that very small issue of BIOS switch postition I would be very careful to fully test, and check what does, and what doesn't void warranty.
 
Good luck!! 
 
EDIT: I should add. I tried that sample OC above, and it works fine without any voltage change, so you can forget about that if you wish. The only thing it changes is that with the voltage up by 25pts (I say pts because it can't possibly be %) the boost clock stays higher for longer, but max is the same.
2. I said not to up the VRAM due to an ongoing issue (NOT FOR THIS THREAD - I know mods.) about a possible heat problem. Nothing definitive yet, and seems to afftect small % of cards.

Just that you know, you are using a pretty old GPU-Z version, thus you do not see some fields and attributes.
keep that in mind when saving your BIOS or when checking the results of flashing a BIOS file.

Nicely spotted, Mort!  Current version is 1.12 I belief. 0.8 - jeepers, fine for Fermi and Kepler. (slight exaggeration)

My 1070 GTX graphics card I s.c. (6173 k). Bios when I install if I wanted to, I double click on the exe, windows opened, but he did not ask me yes or no. Then the screen goes blank, it opens again. I'm starting the PC again. I also checked with GPUZ still looks old BIOS version. please help me. Thank you.

Hello zafer600, and welcome to the forums! Your problem appears to be a little different; I'll be sending you an e-mail with instructions and a different BIOS version.

Dumb question...
 
I bought a "EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming 8 GB ACX 3.0", as below:

 
I am assuming I need this bios?
"08G-P4-6173-KR/KB - EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC ACX 3.0"

But how can I tell for sure, I don't see "08G-P4-6173-KR/KB" anywhere?
(I know my memory is Samsung btw).

Many Thanks

Alex

That's the correct BIOS version, yes. The last 4 numbers on the Device ID are 6713; that identifies the card as a 1070 SC.
