Rebooted and done:
New Firmware version: 86.02.39.00.B9
I also uploaded it to Tech Powerup's data base using GPU-Z: VGA Bios Collection: Zotac GTX 1080 Ti 11264 MB | TechPowerUp
I got an HTTP 404 error when trying to download the x86 version.
I just updated my firmwate and tried to update the graphics driver and ended up with nothing but a black screen.Nothing I tried would fix it. Maybe I could have fixed it eventually if I kept trying, but I just restored a Macrium image I had made yesterday. Now I am back up and running fine.
It wasn't the firmware update that caused it. I rebooted twice after that update with no problems. I think it was DDU. After uninstalling the old drivers I used DDU to boot into safe mode which it refused to do. Besides, the FW update for the card has nothing to do with Windows or drivers if it did what I think it did, which is a BIOS update to the card. That part went smooth and worked fine.
At any rate, Macrium to the rescue again.
Maybe I misunderstood you Steve(I told you yesterday I'm taking some strong meds for my back)
You said DDU might be the cause?
I don't nuke all my drivers, and just let GF Experience do the work(being I don't own a single game, it's the only thing I use it for, and I always update "on-top-of", instead of selecting "clean install"). GF experience can now be set up not to run in the background now, so why not use it?I think it was DDU. After uninstalling the old drivers I used DDU to boot into safe mode which it refused to do.
