Hi guys,
I have a 1070 FTW (08G-P4-6276-KR) and I will update the bios, but I'm not sure the correct steps with cards with dual bios. I prefer to ask before. As I understand it is:
- Download the primary and secondary setup.exe.
- Close all the programs.
- Execute the primary bios setup.exe and update
- turn off the PC.
- Change "Master" to "Slave" Bios
- Turn on the PC
- Execute the secondary bios setup.exe and update.
- restart.
- Done!
is this correct? Thanks
I have the same card as you.
I updated my gtx 1070 ftw bioses yesterday without any problems, all you have to do is download correct bios, you can see your card's number on bottom box, or on your card. After you have located your card's number all you have to do is download correct file or files, depends on how many bioses you have on your card and u'r good to go. What I did was, since my main bios is set on master (default ''00''), I closed evga's oc software (defaulted the overclock, first). then turned off all running programs (firefox, media players and etc) including windows defender, or in your case that might be some other anti virus protection, since they have a tendency to conflict with unknown BAT files or other types. Run the .exe file (executable, not the 64file which comes with bat instructions). After that my screen went black for 1 or 2 seconds, then the message comes back to press ''y'' to proceed, ''s'' to skip or ''a'' to abort the bios update, all you ahve to do is press ''y'' and nothing else, you will see multiple ''.'' dots go in line, similar to loading or progress bars, by then you dont have to do anything else, just wait till bat file closes after that is done, just reboot your computer, come back in delete the extracted files from zip. open gpu-z and whoolaa you can see u'r updated bios ''50.00.'' my case, after that if you have a dual bios card like mine, just delete teh main bios zip and 2 files you extracted from it, so they dont mess with your head when you try to update secondary (slave) bios, and do teh same exact thign you did on main, just switch the card's bios switch first before updating, that means turn pc off, open case, switch bios, and u'r ready to update second bios. In case you dont have micron memory on your card, check in gpu-z first under memory vendor, it will show micron or samsung, if you do have subvendor samsung you don't need to upgrade bios, in fact if you dont overclock your memory, you dont need this update at all, since the bios has updated the oc capability of micron's memory, in my case my memory oc was almost 9k gb/s I was happy with old oc as well, you wont see real life benifits from gaining extra 100+ mhz on memory any way, in case you still thinking update or not.
