I've examined my old bios with the new one and I can see what they did defferent.

What did they do different on the bios?
I'd really like to know!

Crazy- hehe it's just a thought but when I get my rig backup I will need you to hook me up with a bios

Now as far as stable , everyone has their own idea of stable but , I perfer to use program that hammer an push my cards .. When I bench with vantage I do it 3 times in a row , if I see the smallest artifact or tear I will consider it NOT stable . I fold at home as well considerig my comp is OCed 24/7 and on 24/7 .. I will also use a few other program to really heatup my cards and let them get hammered for a good hour min while maintaining effecient temps .

They tweeked the performance profiles, or clock domains if you will.
There are four levels labled 3(2d) 7(?) 12(3d idle), and 15(3d max).

On the old bios 12(3d idle) was missing (or all clocks set to 0), so Im guessing the when the driver tried to put the card in 3d idle, it actually caused an error, then it would jump back to 15(3d max)?

Thanks for the info CrazyNutz!
