Title: Please help, which BIOS for GV-N680OC-2GD cards?
Post by: zeleni on June 21, 2013, 08:12:20 pm
Hello everyone,

I have two GV-N680OC-2GD cards that are paired in SLI mode. They weren't purchased at the same time so their BIOS versions are different and I want them both to have the latest version. The problem is the fact that memory chips from two manufacturers were used for this model of card (Hynix and Samsung) and the BIOS is different for each one. How do I find out which memory is on my older card? The version of it's BIOS is 80.04.28.00.21 and it's no longer available on the site. Please help, which one of these BIOS files do I need to download:
http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4178#bios (http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4178#bios)

I would like to avoid removing the heatsinks and prefer some software method.

Thanks in advance  :)

Hi zeleni,

Firstly, drivers nvidia 320.18 causes many problems to graphics cards...

So prefer version 314.22
About NVIDIA drivers:
I find infos...
http://www.nvidia.fr/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-314.22-whql-driver-fr.html

about bios, i check for more infos...

I understand you want a bios version 80.04.28.00.21  ???  Right...  ???

Why you not use a F5 (80.04.28.00.51) for each card?
Have you a issues infos about this bios (80.04.28.00.51)?

Hi Gloup_Gloup,

driver 320.18 is working good for me but I've just returned to 314.22  ;).

No,version 80.04.28.00.21 is an old version of bios on my first graphic card and I want a newer one.
Could I upgrade version 80.04.28.00.51 on both cards, because it's for Hynix memory?
My other card have bios ver. 80.04.47.00.11 which is for samsung memory.
Does this number 80.04.28.00.51 marks the Hynix memory and 80.04.47.00.11 number marks Samsung memory?
