Sapphire r9 280X dualx bios question

flmatter · Nov 14, 2014

Hey guess what???? My turn to ask a gpu bios question.
First answer yes both bios are already backed up.
Now for my question; will there be anything gained, ie performance or whatever, by updating the older bios to match the newer one? I am fine leaving everything as it is because my system is running fine and it chews up the games I throw at it. No issues, no need for update, right? Thanks

Yes ("If it is not broken, do not try to fix it")

Updating with the newer vbios image will more than likely brick the vga card obvious difference according to the screen shots: [one vga card uses ELPIDA and the other AutoDetect (Unknown) memory brand]

Note: If looking for performance gains use MSI Afterburner; Trixx or other software's to oc
