Both card where already on the latest GOP and i dont know if this happens on older bios refs of the mainboard is it possible that something in the newer bios is wrong ?
There’s a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 ACX 2.0 (GTX780 and 680 also) on the compatibility list… so it sounds unusual such delay, but could be specific GPU card model/brand compatibility issue…
How does the system behave if booting only with the GTX980 and no disks attached, do you also observe delays?
EDIT: Strange indeed, is there any mPCIe devices attached? Different RAM combinations just to check behaviour? Just for curiosity…how time in seconds?
EDIT: Damm…a bunch of NVidia gpus…wow!!! Hard to track/debug this… maybe other bios module/driver is messing with NVidia cards… try to mod and update it, with UBU, good luck.
and i have to diferent GTX 980 founders cards and with both card the same error
and just forgot the same problem is happening with 3 GTX 760 card ( on 2 zotac´s and on inno3d) i´ll test with other ram and time the bootup (after dinner )
What… 1,30m that’s way too long… what a peculiar issue, really dont know what to tell you…since this is happening with a bunch of NVidia models gpu cards…
i tested a bios from Tris what worked realy good (fast boot and so far realy stable under load and after my test it set on the desktop and froze then i reset it an now it wont turn on at all
