permalink) EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 BIOS Update - 86.04.50.00.70/86.04.50.01.70 (10/17/2016)



Updates:

Improved memory overclocking experience for some users



Q. Do I need to reapply this update every time I update a driver or reinstall the O.S.?

A. This update is attached to the card, no matter where it goes. If you update the driver, the EVGA BIOS update is still applied.



Q. How can I tell what version I firmware I currently have?

A. There are multiple ways to do this, one way is to right click on desktop and go to NVIDIA control panel. Click on Help, then System Information. Scroll to the bottom of the Details window and it will show your "Video BIOS version".



Q. I just bought my card, will it have this updated firmware?

A. Chances are yes, as new firmware is released, new products shipping from EVGA will also have this firmware version applied.





Windows (64bit) Installation

Download the correct .zip file below for your graphics card below. ENSURE THE PART NUMBER MATCHES. Extract the files to a location on disk.

Make sure no programs are running in the background, and double click update.exe.

Press "Y" to begin the update.

DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE UPDATE PROCESS!

After update, restart PC.

okay thanks.

i though there will be an power limit increase too like those palit new bios.

215w max for dual 8 pin connectors and ten phase vcore (350a in total) is quiet unbalanced and disappointed.

i can see the gpu power draw in watts from hwinfo64. also techpowerup shows power limit info of every bios being uploaded to there. some guys in overclock.net already read those power limit info by hex editor. there are some other brands' bios that has much more power limit than evga ftw bios.

hopefully in the future evga would release a higher power limit for ftw as ftw pcb is very great and should be able to handle more much power.

thanks

what's the point? my ftw board can't even cap the 112% power limit of the primary bios.. maybe my gpu can't oc very well?? or i am doint something wrong?

i tried weeks ago the second bios and saw no increase oc with the increased power limit, i think the problem is the fact we can't increase the voltage

when i played bf1 beta i saw my ftw drew 220w. thats means the power limit of ftw bios is not "enough" for gaming. not to mention furmark and other benchmarking.

i dont care about furmark and benchmarking but only gaming and i was shocked by the bf1 beta power draw.

i also want to ask what is the point of 215w instead of 300w like zotac amp extreme. just want to get rid of power throttling.

i flashed the secondary bios one, of course my card is micron vram.

2200mhz vram is the highest overclock i can get without problems on old bios.



after flashing the new bios, i am now able to get higher vram overclocking from 2200mhz to 2300mhz without problems.

i tried 2400mhz and it gives me checkerboard shown, only reboot can fix it.

i tried 2350mhz in gtav and i got crashed and reboot.

i tried 2300mhz in gtav and it seems fine as i just tested about 20mins.

i tried 2300mhz in running fire strike extreme, with the same oc settings like before except the vram overclocked to 2300mhz in from 2200mhz.



same oc settings except vram is 2200mhz

300w zotac bios is using, aio is using

core clock is 2152mhz most of the time

video clock is 1797mhz.

max and locked voltage at 1.08v





evga new bios with the same oc settings and vram overclocked to 2300mhz.

core clock is 2152mhz most of the time.

video clock is 1797mhz.

max and locked voltage at 1.08v







20mins gtav without problems









overclocking gap between micron and samsung is now getting smaller, although 2300mhz on samsung vram should be a piece of cake in general. nice to see the micron improvement.
