Well guys. I have no idea what the hell is wrong with either A: my system or B: me , but I have tried this every way I can think of to no avail. The GPU BIOS upgrade actual did work on my old Gigabyte 780 but now I can't get this dang thing to work on my EVGA 780 ACX SC. Basically, I am trying to put the EVGA Hydro copper BIOS on the unit as well as enable my PCI-E 3.0 on my board (EVGA 132 SLI)

So this is the guide I am using - which again the GPU BIOS flash did work on my old card. (It is also worth noting I have a second GPU - GTX650) running a monitor at 1920X1080 and my primary 780 running 3 at 5760x1080.

I am following everything to the freaking T. Also worth noting in his text he says use cmd nvflash --overridesub -6 but in the video he uses nvflash --override -6 > me thinks he is a goober to begin with but wth do I know I am the one looking up guides :p

Also worth noting I thought Win puke was taking a dump on me so I did a complete reinstall. Yea - that worked! :S
 
Well I fixed the BIOS flash on the gpu. Apparently that was a ME problem. I'm tired :(

On the other hand I can not for the flippin' life of me get my board to give me PCIE 3.0. I entered the cmd and as far as I can tell it worked. But GPU-Z is telling me I still only have 2.0. GRRRRRR
