Were  these cards even tested prior to being put on the retail market ?

A Note about The Microsoft NVIDIA Graphics Driver 369.09.
This Driver is incomplete in that their is no OpenCL or VulkanRT Support Included.
It also installs NVIDIA Update and I recommend that you uninstall it.

Yes, this is all correct. I didn't ever recommend that driver, but thanks all the same. I wasn't clear. 368.xx from NV site would be better.

So when can we expect any tools (Or even open sources ones, ha!) to update this on Linux? I own a GTX 1070 - Model 6276 dual BIOS's, on VBIOS 86.04.1e.00.70. I think it's pretty sad to see a Windows-only package instead of a OS-independent Linux bootable upgrade image like all flash drive makers do. Less hassle, works better. Will be watching this for an answer that isn't "Install Windows."
 
 
ETA: Seems "nvflash" is the linux utility to do this. It's not officially supported it seems. I'll report back.
 
 
ETA2: Seems nvflash was last updated before pascal, no support for them yet as it doesn't even list my display adapter. Will wait for an official response. I thought nvidia had a tool for this on Linux in their driver, but I guess not.

Here is a good question that i hope someone can answer...  i have a cyberpower PC with an EVGA GTX 1070  - Part No. 08G-P4-5170-BR.    Why would the last 2 characters differ from the expected KR?
T Hanks!!

The "BR" denotes length of warranty:

My BIOS version in GPU-Z lists it as currently 86.045.26.00.70 on my GTX 1070 SC Black Edition.  I should be OK to flash with the primary BIOs still right?

Apparently I'm not doing something right. This is my first time ever trying to update a bios on a gpu. When I go to run the up date for the primary bios a command screen comes up telling me about the screen flashing. After that something pops up very quickly saying something about about a path. It comes up to quick for me to be able to read it. Any help would be great. Basically I need someone to explain this to me like I'm 5!!! Thanks!

I get this when i run the exe: 

 
What do I do ?

OK, restarted PC, now it worked and I could update. Seems to be OK. Not sure why it did nothing the first time.
Now I can do second BIOS
 
*edit: I can confirm the fan speed problem. Does not go lower than 20% on the master BIOS ..
I'm sure and double checked my master/slave BIOS version numbers in GPUz... respectively 86.04.50.00.70 and 86.04.50.01.70
Kind of annoying, please fix

Skimmed the last few pages and haven't seen anyone confirming this fixed the specific issues related to the 1070's memory.
 
Can someone who had the memory issue on their 1070 chime in and let us know if this driver update helped? Thanks.

It worked for me. An extra +226mhz. 8500 previously, now 8726mhz.
