When I try to follow step 7 to flash the bios I get I\O Error: Can not open file: nvflash -4 -5 -6 680L_UnlockedBIOS.rom What am I missing? First time flashing a graphics card bios, So not sure I have done this right.

Did you rename the BIOS file in C:\ ?

SMS hows your card doing?

Reverted to 80.04.28.00.3A.

Couldn't get the voltage any higher on the MSI.GTX770.2048.130507 BIOS.

My card maxes out at 1254 MHz (1.176V stock) regardless of overvoltage. I'd say that's decent.

Still not that bad for the money, what about memory? which Afterburner you using ?

As you can see, you are telling nvflash to flash "680L_UnlockedBIOS.rom" whereas in C:\ the file name is "80.04.28.00.3A.rom".

Rename the file or change your command to the filename.

Ahhh no I did not. What was I supposed to rename it to?

Edit: Cheers mate, Will try that now!!

Hey guys, been rocking my GTX680PE since Thursday and very happy with it, water block is taking it's time to arrive though. What is the best BIOS to run for standard performance? I don't really want to do any manual tweaking just flash a faster BIOS and then leave it to boost away, would I be best going for the LN2 BIOS? or perhaps (assuming the RAM can handle it) running the 770 BIOS for GPU Boost 2.0?

80.04.28.00.3A and Bob's your uncle.

No I think he means standard bios switch position

Well first find your max core memory clocks and then what you want to run 24/7 with the 770 bios you need to make sure your memory can run above 7000 24/7 first, when you find your 24/7 clocks your happy with I can make you a custom bios to that spec if needed
