erm...i think u got it wrong ...the "F12" doesnt mean its the newer version...
please read here...
scroll down and u can see this...




my case,

F4
NVIDIA Source BIOS Version:80.04.31.00.58(this is my card,yet im having the F12 bios)

F12
NVIDIA Source BIOS Version:80.04.31.00.09


the Source bios is where can be found in GPU-z under bios section
while the "F" version can be check in @VGA Bios software downloaded from gigabyte web.

to make it worst,my card can only be oc up until +42 gpu offset...

i dont know what to do more...been googling for few day...i tried to flash for F4 bios, but fail to do so as the software said different version...

GTX460 max SLI is only 2-way right ?

Why don't you contact Gigabyte and get them to clarify.

yup 2 way only.
only higher-end card like gtx 580 can do 3 way SLI.

I see. AFAIK most manufacturers now have limit their GTX 670 oc headroom to follow what Nvidia have instructed so that the GTX 670 will not kill their GTX 680 sales as everyone knows an oced GTX 670 will be on par or better performer then the gtx 680. Not sure this is right though.

lazy to rma as i only hv this card...not having spare card really paint in the @ss right now...

don't lazy to do RMA bro...it good for u.....maybe they will replace gpu u...who knows??

will do but waiting for their reply on fb page...

did u rma anything b4? i mean with gigabyte...usually its take how long?

i already try RMA hdd only.. it takes 1 month to get back my hdd....send 500gb got 1tb...how lucky...hehehe..

You don't necessary have to rma. Maybe they can provide you with another bios. But they will most probably tell you to ignore the bios unless you have problems with the card. Last time I rma my gigabyte 460, it took about 3 weeks for them to replaced it. It was a faulty card tho.

lucky u...but 1 month...
sure i cant live without my gpu for that time...

I bought the card form Cycom @ lowyat, so they did it for me. They were nice enough to loan me a card as well, tho a crappy one lol.

If you haven't, try posting your problem on the gigabyte's forum. http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/

owh...my last rig was build from cycom...4 years back then

now in penang...missing walking around lowyat like last time went studies in kL...

i'll give a try in gigabyte forum,but havent received any reply for account activation...

I rma gigabyte card before,takes about 8 weeks.

8 weeks....u must be very patient person...
or u got a spare card tho...

seem like the card working fine but went it come to ocing,its extremely fail...

Yeah,lost patient,that's why buy new one,GTX680
