I've been stalking the TPU VGA bios collection waiting for the EVGA SSC bios to pop up and I noticed that there are only two GTX 680 bioses listed at the moment. There were twelve or so yesterday. :confused:

kepler bioses dumped with gpuz do not work correctly. nvidia has introduced a new bios format with kepler.. save bioses with nvflash (from our dl section, only dos version at this time).

i dumped the two bioses listed myself. if you have a gtx 680 with a different bios, please save it using nvflash and email it to me (w1zzard@techpowerup.com)

also changed in the bios collection today:
- files are now called .rom so people dont post requests: "please convert my bios to rom".
- also added proper parsing for kepler bioses with boost clocks

Thanks for the info. I just dumped my bios and sent it to you. Now I just need to find someone with an EVGA ssc bios to do the same.

I thought that nothing could be done with these BIOSes because of the digital signature or whatever :confused: Or did i misinterpret and you can swap BIOS from 1 card to another but just can not edit the stock BIOS?

I think that its like AMD did with their 6xxx series and probably 7xxx series. You can't edit the bios but you can flash a bios with a digital signature. At least thats the impression that I get.

Enlighten me, what would an SSC bios matter for those of us on normal eVGA 680's?

Just a higher stock clock and a higher boost clock without the need to mess with any other software. I usually like to flash a mild overclock onto my vga bios when possible.
