970 to 980 ?

Does not change the fact its rewarding failure with more money meaning that none of you can ever complain about apple fans or if Nvidia or amd screw up. Like I said that BBC documentary was right. You should watch it.

Companies like Nvidia and apple must be laughing. Op could have just turned a setting down and been fine.

Like we have said though . When you spend £650 on a g-sync monitor even though they did mess up on the 970 what choice do we have? Would you really pick an AMD card and loose the g-sync ??

A brief guide to flashing the bios would be the bees knees, my KAF2 980 should be with me tomorrow, then I will see which bios it has.

Seemed simple enough for me:

Downloaded above BIOS

Ran the "f" file.

Type in "Y" then "Y" again. Flashed for me no problem. Can confirm mine is sat nicely at 30% down from 52%.

Thanks to aachil for sourcing the BIOS :)

Hey mate,

tempted to flash mine, did you get an increase in your 3D Mark after the BIOS flash? Also can you give me a brief guide on how to do this? :) Thanks.

Yes, this is after the bios flash, would not go much above 10900 before, mostly 10800+
I've clean reinstalled drivers last night as well. Cheers.

Same here - flashed using f (just disabled the nvidia driver in device manager), rebooted a viola Fans at 30% :)
 
Nice to see guys i havent done mine yet but i will later. Its interesting to see if any 3dmark scores have gone up
 
Mine would not flash. The command prompt flashed up for a matter of seconds then closes. That's with Admin rights.

Turning down the settings a notch is a no go for me, if I've paid £640 for sli then yeah I'm gonna put up the settings to a reasonable level and not expect stuttering especially since it's only at a point once it goes beyond a certain memory threshold.

I'm investing in 970 SLi and am happy to drop settings. :) Could you give me an idea what kinda settings you find reasonable? Also, were you @ 1440p? Cheers!
