    Thumbs up Woot Woot! Upgraded a EVGA GTX 570 to a GTX 570 SSC/SC edition!!! All from a bios!!!

    I just upgraded the bios on my EVGA GTX 570 standard edition to the SC/SSC edition bios... Went flawlessly! I got 1 error about the part #'s not matching but just let it bypass in nvflash. Then rebooted, and poof!!!! Installed drivers again just to ensure it was done right and then let her rip!!! I did it because I was pretty sure they were the same PCB/Parts on them and my card was already running hella cold @ 37c consistant idle and no more than 52c on load. (Standard Air Cooler).

    I am not really thinking I need to post before and after because I never kept the benches before... but the now I see about a 5-10% boost in my games. It's quite nice and it seems the ssc version the framerates don't bounce so much... more consistant. I even went as far as overclocking and testing almost all day today... My final stable, fast overclocks are: 874/1748/2108 .988v . I can also run it stable at 900/1800/2000 @ 1.038v but it runs way hotter *around 61c idle, 72c 100% load... So I chose the quieter/lower voltage/faster vram clocks.
    (Thanks Hardwarecanucks! for that info!)

    I am really happy and just thought I would share my story bro!!!

    Yeah and I had to tell people about how I did this so they would use it for their own benefit!

    What benefit there is to this over just OCing the card as shipped?

    Higher voltage limit?

    Not having to overclock if you choose, getting a free upgrade that you know is safe... and sharing my success story!
