I'm trying to update my 4070ti super, as MSI informed us to do so to get the full performance from these cards but nothing is happening when I run the file. Promt opens, shows some lines and "gathering information" screen flickers some, prompt closes and bios version still the same.

Post released by msi. Something to do with issues with with vbios on the 4070ti cards and I dnt have MSI motherboard. Specifically speaking about GPU.

#

Only on the 4070ti super cards

I just purchased it other day and received it yesterday

#

That's my bios version, seems to be behind, number wise

#

The updated ones start with 95.03. Mines is 95.02. so I think I have an older vbios

Download MSI center. And run the liveupdate feature. If you see the bios update in the program i'd run it and install it from there. If you don't see an update I'd let it be. Manually installing the wrong or incorrect vbios can brick your card.

I tried msi center. It didn't update anything..
I'm not installing incorrect bios though. It's downloaded from their official site and posted by them. So pretty sure it isn't the wrong one. Just seems as if a program or something is stopping it because promt just closes down.
I might try emailing their support and seeing what they say about it

If you didn't see the update after running the liveupdate that means you're good. It's highly unlikely that you bought a card that has been sitting on the shelf with a dated vbios for 9 months.

Bought it from Amazon so never know🤷🏾‍♂️ lol

#

They could of have it since release

#

Went on deal for $750 so I grabbed it. Just want to get ever bit of performance it's supposed to be getting

#

That's highly unlikely but contact support if you want to be sure. I wouldn't persue it that hard. Have you ran benches to even see if it is underperforming.

I haven't ran any benches. I came across the reddit thread when I was doing research of possible cards I might get so saved the thread. Only hopped on Greyzone warfare since having it. What program u recommend I bench test it with?

#

3dmark or Superposition

In either programs after you run them you can compare your GPU and CPU and see if you're scoring close to people with the same hardware.

And would the program show a base performance I should be getting? So I would be able to determine if it's underperforming?
I'm not all into bench testing so dnt know much about it.

#

Ok. Will try 3dmark and see what up. Thanks for help

@worn gale Did what I'ma assume is the basic test, about 200 below average. Normal?
I'm running the time spy now and will see what that reveals.

I think time spy benchmark is going to loop 20 times, 60 seconds each. Seem something like that online. When I googled it just now

#

Ok👍🏾

worn gale
#

Naw time spy is one run, You don't have to do the stess test.

peak canyon
#

Ok

#

2k off from average but I guess its not that bad because when I compare test results online, it says my score is better than 92% of all results🤷🏾‍♂️

#

That's whats a lil bit more important here. Cause the overall takes in account your CPU as well.

peak canyon
#

22,624 was GPU score and 11,975 CPU score

#

Is that 22k ok for 4070ti super?

#

Just googled. Average for my card is around 24k mark, so a lil below average

#

So wouldn't that be considered underperforming?

My 11900K is scoring a lil bit higher.
