If some kind soul could use nvflash to dump the bios from an EVGA 1070 SC gaming, black edition (08G-P4-5173-KR) and send it my way I would really appreciate it. I can’t seem to find a copy online anywhere and I failed to make a backup for myself (feel free to shame me if you must.)
I was on auto-pilot updating bioses and accidentally flashed an MSI bios to all of my EVGA cards. The update script no longer recognizes my 1070’s as EVGA cards. I wish the MSI script had been as smart. If somebody knows how to force the EVGA script to flash my cards that would certainly work too. Any help would be appreciated.

How do you pull the rom image from the card, using Linux?
Can you give me step by step directions or point me to them?

PS : oh wait you “need” the nvflash version of it because the EVGA tool doesn’t work anymore. Well can’t help with that.
PS2 : actually it should work, the EVGA app at least on windows is an embedded version of NVFLASH, so the bios file should be compatible with nvflash, try !

Thanks for the replies and attempted help guys.
@groovy1962 Saving an image with nvflash is as simple as “nvflash -save [file_name].rom” The hard part for you would be that I don’t know of a version of nvflash for linux or a comparable tool (maybe gpu-z? That can save vbios images too). If you want to give it a shot through an emulator it should work, in theory. The worst thing that happens is I flash a corrupted bios instead of an incorrect one. That might even be an improvement for me as the EVGA tool might recognize a corrupted version of one of their vbios. Let me know if I can do anything to assist.
@m1n1ngP4d4w4n and ylpkm I have the correct version of those files from the EVGA site. The problem is what’s included in those downloads are two files. “nvflash64.sys” and “update.exe” As m1n1ngP4d4w4n pointed out they use nvflash to deliver their fixed vbios, however they don’t include the rom itself. update.exe seems to be nvflash, the .rom and some sort of wrapper to automate the update process all rolled into one and compiled together. have tried using the correct version. It detects my cards but skips them presumable because it sees the MSI bios and assumes I’m an idiot…which I am, just not the kind of idiot they were expecting The only solutions I’ve come up with are to find some version of the vbios that’s intended to be on these cards and flash that by hand or force EVGA’s update.exe to flash my cards. If you have other solutions I’m certainly open.
I’m going to go try using options and commands that are part of nvflash.exe and see if “update.exe” passes them along. Might be able to force it to update that way

Yeah i was thinking about this forcing from nvflash may work as a update.exe parameter.
Yeah wrapper sadly, i wonder actually why they didn’t release a solution for linux owners, i would suggest you to post on this EVGA forum topic for them to give out the rom file directly, linux people SHOULD be able to update their bioses !
Hope you resolve this matter :/

That’s exactly what I needed! Nice find ylpkm. Five minutes and one nvflash /6 later and I’m good to go!

The total value of all cryptocurrencies currently sits at around $300 billion, but venture capitalist Albert Wenger believes that it could eventually be worth trillions of dollars.
The economic, not to mention societal, impact of cryptocurrency cannot be denied. Individuals from across the globe are turning to decentralized digital currency for numerous reasons, such as investment, ease of transactions, anonymity, lack of bank access, or . It seems every new week brings a new high to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the total value of all cryptocurrencies is now around $300 billion. However, one of the top venture capitalists, Albert Wenger of Union Square Ventures, says that cryptocurrencies could eventually be worth .
Is the Future of Cryptocurrency Rosy?
At the technology conference in Helsinki, Finland, Wenger made a number of remarks to CNBC. He said that there’s a lot of “irrational exuberance” in the cryptocurrency market right now (as seen by the recent dips and surges), but he believes that the total value of all the various digital currencies could go a lot higher in the future. He told CNBC that it’s too early to tell if digital currencies are in a bubble, and he added:
So I believe there’s a good chance that cryptocurrencies taken together as a bucket will be worth trillions of dollars. We are a long way from that.
Cryptocurrency Following in Amazon’s Footsteps?
An interesting note made by was his reference to Amazon when discussing the long-term prospects of cryptocurrency. He said:
If you look at (the) Amazon stock chart, it looks like this massive upward sloping curve. But then if you zoom in you see in the beginning there was this very quick run up and then this big drop off. So the way I look at this (cryptocurrencies) is when we look back at it from far in the future, it will be a very massive run up. The current run up could turn out to be a blip on that chart.
So I think it’s you know, once you reach the territory we are in today, there’s definitely a way for it to go down. And there’s definitely also a path in the future where, cryptocurrency as a whole will be worth trillions of dollars.
Overall, this is an interesting perspective from a widely respected venture capitalist, and his Amazon reference could be spot-on. Albert Wenger was an angel investor to Etsy and Tumblr, and Union Square Ventures has invested in a number of blockchain startups.
Wenger is not alone in being bullish on cryptocurrency. Ronnie Moas of Standpoint Research told CNBC he expects bitcoin to be worth at least a trillion dollars in a few years. Hedge fund manager Michael Novogratz said that the market cap of cryptocurrency could be $2 trillion by the end of 2018. Of course, there are still the naysayers, like , the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, who believes that bitcoin is a fraud.
Do you agree with venture capitalist Albert Wenger that the market cap for cryptocurrency could one day be trillions of dollars? Or will digital currency eventually crash and burn? Let us know in the comments below.
