BIOS Revision not displayed - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1

tovrin · Aug 21, 2022

I've been trying to find out what BIOS revision/version I have in my GPU and I'm having no luck. This is what it looks like. It's an early Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 that I picked up a couple of months after the 3070s were released ... and before the prices became ridiculous.

Any idea what's going on or how I can find out what BIOS version I have?

Edit: I looked up that Registry location and it has a "HardwareInformation.BiosString" key with the value of "Version94.4.3a.40.d", but that bears no resemblance to any of the appropriate BIOS numbering. It's all a bit confusing.

Hope you don't get ideas to "Update" the BIOS knowing there is a newer one.... (if there is)

If there are no issues with the GPU, just use it as meant to use.

Thank you, for stating the bleeding obvious. That's not what I'm referring to.

This article states that there is a "message" value in the advanced tab with the BIOS version from Gigabyte starting that an "F". The latest version is F12. I want to know what version mine is.

Why are you looking at the General menu in GPU-Z's Advanced tab?

The article says to look at the BIOS version number in the "Nvidia BIOS" menu:

Also, my understanding is that Resizable BAR is only available for RTX 30-series models for Nvidia cards. Neither 10-series nor 20-series cards support Resizable BAR.

The fact that 20-series cards don't support this feature is covered in page 4 of the OC3D article.

Ok ... that is MY bad. I typoed the title of the thread. I have an RTX 3070

I missed the fact that there's a dropdown there. Also my bad. Thank you.
