Could this BIOS update work on other EVGA 1080's?

Downloading a BIOS update to speed up your memory. This is probably the closest we'll ever get to actually downloading more RAM.

Um... faster memory is in no way close to adding more memory dstarr3

Ummmm, I think I know a little something about how computers work. You just download parts from the internet, glue them together, and rub some zeroes and ones together to make a fire. BAM, magic. That's how computers are made and work.

ROFL

Want a simpler way to know IF it may work? Overclock to 11GHz and see if it works well... if it does, then do the BIOS update. If it fails, there's nothing to gain and more trouble to inherit to do the upgrade.

doesn't EVGA and other vendor's GPU software able to overclock GPU and CPU without BIOS update?

Wasn't that card using a new kind of memory?

If I remember correctly, the 1080TI lists 2 types of memory in the specs, but one of them has not been used yet due to low availability. So the 1080 and 1080 Ti should have the same ram modules right now, just a different quantity.

you know looking at the evga's guys posted scores example and my 980 ti score I think if a guy was able to clock his 980ti to 1080 clocks [1650-2000mhz - evga 1080 ftw 2 - •1721MHz Base Clock - •1860MHz Boost Clock ] it would preform better then the 10 series my card boosts to 1375 stock ? and I'm using a 4670 non ''K'' cpu with like a old 355.82 driver
