Good job EVGA. You go back to your thinking room and come up with more great ideas.

IIRC Gigabyte's Dual BIOS works automatically (i.e. if it detects the BIOS is faulty [checksum, maybe?], it auto-switches to the backup one). While this one requires a flip of a switch. *shrug*

I like where this is going to be for people like me, flashing modded VBIOS would be less scary now :D

I always thought this kind of feature is only available to highest-end type of card like Classy or Lightning, it's nice to see it available for mainstream product :)

In my opinion every high-end card should have this as a standard.

TWO BIOSes on a single card? What wizardry is this?
Great idea EVGA, I'm surprised nobody has ever thought of this before.
