Hi everyone, ill try and keep it short.
In the next few weeks i will be building my gaming pc with windows 8.1 pro using UEFI native install for the faster boot, restart etc.., i would like to use the fast boot feature which is in windows 8 and 8.1. So i understand that my ssd, graphics card, and motherboard needs to support UEFI GOP, my motherboard which is a asus rampage iv black edition and my samsung 840 pro 512gb does support this.
Now i have been in contact with Asus and they have said that the my GTX 690 does not support the UEFI VBIOS GOP feature out the box (which i have had the card since around april/may 2012) but they have given me a link to the update tool. But since my pc has not been built yet i have installed my 690 into my son's case (motherboard Asus P5KPL-AM SE).
I have downloaded the tool, but it does state on the support section of Asus that the motherboard must support UEFI, i have tried running the program and it gives me a BSOD, it has once started the problem OK but when checking it says motherboard does not support the feature, which is correct my sons does not. But how can i flash my 690 with the GOP update in my sons pc without building my pc first, then i will have to install windows on my pc, download and install the update, then start the fresh install again but this time using a UEFI native install.
