Install GPU-Z and then open it, it should show what memory you have at the "memory type" column.

 

That's odd, afaik, all G1 Gaming GTX 970 should have a back plate or you might have a regular Gigabyte Windforce card.

 

Does the box of your GPU has a G1 Gaming written on it?

I love free stuff.

Okay so give me an easy way of doing this :P I just don't want to fuck up. Do I need to uninstall drivers or anything?

 

"You need to flash the BIOS with nvflash. 

 

put them into a folder on your C:\ drive

 

And flash with this command nvflash -6 ROM_NAME.rom"

 

Does this tell me everything?

Alright so I don't do the whole cmd bullshit, alright so first you wana go to device manager > find your GTX 970 and then hit disable

 

then find nvflash and the bios and just drag the bios onto nvflash and then it should say are you sure and you say yes.

 

restart then reenable it in device manager

As far as I'm aware, it's a single bios which can be switched out for another one. Although, I profess that it's not me that should be answering bios questions. Others here will know much more than I on that.

You change the display output to change the BIOS. The farthest DVI should give a different BIOS, and the HDMI gives a different BIOS. I myself am not aware of the combinations so far, but it definitely has dual BIOS, that is certain.

Anyone else getting their cards undervolted when reaching 70°C?

That happens to me. In Win 7, Win 8.1, with the card overvolted and overclocked.

It reaches 70°C and boom, goes to 1.187V

Another question (and probably my last before I flash a custom vbios), do I need to follow the instructions on gigabyte's website on flashing the vbios? You know, plugging the dvi-i  or dvi-d(?) for a successful flash? Because my display only have HDMI and VGA outputs. Or can I just flash the custom vbios regardless of what output I'm using?

Thanks!

I love free stuff.

Mexico, it's very different.

I guess that you live in USA, where temps below 5-0°C are very common.

Here ambient temps over 30°C are normal.
