Can someone tell what the difference is between the 2 bios? Does one have higher voltage/clock speed or what?

    My understanding is 2nd bios runs a different fan profile. It runs all the time, not just at temp threshold.

    In the past you had the first BIOS that was default and the other was a second configurable/changeable BIOS if you had a custom BIOS you wanted to install and if you ruin that second BIOS you can always switch to the first BIOS and use your GPU again. It should be the same now but i really don't see the point of having that feature as it seems all the 10 series GPUs com close of can make 2Ghz and no higher...well at the moment anyway.

    I'm not sure if that will stay true once the vBIOS can be hacked.

    Back to the OP, second vBIOS should also have a higher power target.

    I really hope you can switch voltage up cause im gonna add waterblock on mine. And I wanna hit around 2,2-2,4 but that would be a dream come true.
