Pn is 10DE 17C8-3842 4997
All packaging says it is a classified Card. When I try to flash this card with my 4998 bios it says the card is unsupported and stops the process. NvFlash works perfectly with my 4998 card, but it does not need to be flashed. The card shows as a reference card under Precision XOC not a Classified. EVGA gave me the following response
"Hello George,
I had a chance to look in to this, and it appears the 4997-KR is a Detuned version of the Classified that did in fact ship with a reference BIOS. Simply flashing the card may lead to instability but that is not to say the card cannot handle the factory OC. We recommend using the 4998-KR as your primary with the 4997 in SLI and not flashing the BIOS. As they are physically the same card but it may be the case the unit cannot handle the factory OC we put on to the unit. We would not be responsible for flashing a different model over the current BIOS. If you have any other questions please let me know.
Regards
Daniel"
I'm actually very annoyed that this card does not show as what it is suppose to be. Seems like false advertisement to me. Is there any other programs out there to flash the card? Thanks any help would be appreciated.
