Hey Everyone,

I looked around the forums and couldn't really find anything about this. Does anyone have info on whether or not it's more beneficial to have matching BIOS on the two EVGA GTX780 SC/ACX I'm running in SLI?

Has anyone had experience with two different BIOS then Flashed both cards the same? I'm just talking about regular, stock BIOS not some custom one. Also, How can you tell which is the newest BIOS?

Many thanks in advance, I know you all rock!

Hi, that's not true.... at least according to GPU-Z and the folks at EVGA
 


I'm not saying I'm sure, but where does it say the uperclocked has 2 BIOS? Only the classified has dual bios i thought?

It's not a dual BIOS but there is different BIOS versions.

Nope, I'm talking about stock BIOS. It shows two different BIOS in GPU-Z, one must be from a newer lot than the other. This was confirmed by an EVGA employee to me.

I know it will be fine, I run it now with no problems, I was just wondering if it would be beneficial. Thanks though :)
